krupe industries Vacation Rental Horrible Experience Manager of property harassing to tenants venice California

Vacation Traveler  Property Venice California 218 Carroll Canal Court D.  Owned by Krupe Industries Owner Elizer Appel and  Sandra Benavidaz. Property is rented as an all inclusive Vacation and or Mid to Long Term Rental to be furnished with all amenities including water, cable, power, gas and working pool, steam shower as well as all furnishings including fine linens. Owner claims property rent is valued at 16,000 per month. Upon arrival  amenities advertised were not in working condition which includes gas fire places, swimming pool  gas, hot water, cable,  steam shower and pool  was filled with bird feces a  motors  not  working .  uring the rain storm, rain filled the living room. When repairs were made they were done not to building code and where soggy walls once were contractors painted over without cutting or looking for mold.  The manager Ms. Benavidaz continued to blame tenants for these problems and in fact became erratic and threatening with tenants. Her reasoning was she had just had a baby and was severely over weight and “ Just couldn’t take it anymore” This property is meant to be high end luxury yet problems were continuous.

Any refunds made during the stay were not worth the unease   felt from the first day of arrival. The Krupe group owns many other properties and there isn’t a manager that oversees the properties. If problems arrise they find random and illegal and non English speaking people to fix the property not up to code and construction workers come all hours of the day. Contractors complained of getting paid “peanuts”

During the earthquake the property sustained damage and cracks are visible throughout the floors, ceilings and walls of the concrete home
