Habib Salo represents himself to be very "kind" and "hands on" landlord.  Not the case.  Habib Salo, owner of Youngs Nails, in Anaheim, rented a condo and represented it to be safe and in good condition.

Habib Salo did not disclose the ongoing fight and pending lawsuit he is currently pursuing with the builder of same condominium and HOA. Habib Salo told me in writing and in person to stay at a hotel and stated in writing and in person: that he would repay the expenses of the hotel stay, the replaced lighting unit and any expenses from the mold growing in and on the flooring in Mr Salo's condominium.

Habib Salo did repair the broken toilets, once the threat of lawsuit and report to Health Department was issued. Incurring over $2000 worth of promised reimbursement, Habib Solo became unreachable and litigious.  Rather than pay his own costs, Habib Salo threatened to evict while slandering my good and honest name.

Calling me a deadbeat and refusing to pay or respond to his expenses. He is a true DEADBEAT LANDLORD.

Facts of the Situation

AUTHOR: H. Salo - (United States of America)

To Whom It May Concern:

The tenant that is making these claims is not named Mia, but rather Pamela Antick. I am not sure why she used a different name to file this report. Pamela's claims are not accurate. First of all, Young Nails has nothing to do with this situation. I own the condo and Pamela is the first tenant I have ever had, as my wife and 3 year old daughter recently moved. I thought renting the condo would be a good idea, but it has been a nightmare to say the least. I may never rent it out again after this experience.         
Fact 1
- There is no lawsuit with the HOA. I contacted the President of the HOA to find out if there was in fact a mold issue, and he reassured me that there is no such issue at all. Please do the research and see for yourself that there is no lawsuit with me and the HOA. This is why Pamela was never informed of an issue, because it never existed.        

Fact 2
- Pamela thought there was toxic mold growing in my unit. So, I hired a certified lab to come in and get air samples to test to make sure there was no toxic mold. The tests came back, and sure enough, there is no toxic mold. I have all the reports to prove this. I sent the reports to Pamela and I thought she would be happy, but instead she still claimed there was toxic mold because she believes that to be the case. She accused me of trying to purposefully harm her, which is totally ludicrous. She claimed that I was working with the lab to falsify the reports, which is also totally ludicrous. The condo is clean and safe, but for some reason she has a problem accepting this.        

Fact 3
- My property manager quit after 2 months of dealing with Pamela. He called me and said he could not handle working with her anymore, and was very apologetic about the situation. He told me I would have to deal direct with her from now on, which started at the beginning of November.         

Fact 4
- I told Pamela I would reimburse her for the a light fixture and for staying at a hotel while my condo was being tested for toxic mold. I have every intention of reimbursing her. I never told her that I would not. There is no evidence of me telling her that I will not pay her back, which has me totally perplexed as to why she would file this report. She just sent me the receipts maybe 2 days ago, but she has not given me any time to reimburse her. If I tell someone that I will reimburse them, then I will do it, its that simple. She has the idea that I will not, and I ask her to present any evidence that shows me telling her that I will not reimburse her.        

Fact 5
- I told Pamela that I would break the lease because she is not happy at my unit, and I would even reimburse her the full deposit. This is also something I will do, but she is asking me for the deposit check right now, when she is still living in the unit. I cannot reimburse her until she is officially moved out because I have to make sure there is no property damage. Once that is determined, then the deposit will be sent. She insists that I am going back on my word, and I am not. As soon as she moves out, she will get her deposit back, pending that there is no property damage, which I dont anticipate to be the case.        
This entire experience has me stressed out beyond belief. It has affected my work and family life, and the consistent harassing emails are proving to be very scary for me and my family. I have done everything in my power to provide a safe environment, and I would never put a tenant in harm, never. I understand customer service better than most people, and my attempts to work with her have failed as there is no way I am able to make her happy. These are the facts, and I have all the evidence to support them.
