Fallon Marie Decker BEWARE! Charming hostess until you move out. Kept large deposit and ignores messages. Airbnb host. Irving Texas

 Fallon Marie Decker is a charming lady who was responsive to requests while I was an airbnb traveler. Very nice and easy to contact. I was in town working on a week to week contract. I expected to stay several months, but stayed only one month. I gave her about two weeks notice when I knew I would be leaving Irving. I left the room I rented in better shape than it was when I moved in. I gave her $375 deposit, which was half of the agreed deposit. She was kind enough to allow me to break it into two payments. The deposit was because I brought a house cat. When I moved in, the bathroom was dirty. Her brother quickly cleaned the toilet while I waited. He also laundered the dirty sheets for me. He attempted unsuccessfully to install a bedroom door lock. Overall, he tried. The room was plain, but I saw it before moving in. No big deal. As a resident at her airbnb property, she was responsive to me and everything was ok. When I moved out, I left the floor lamp I purchased to use in the room, as well as extra light bulbs. I left the mattress cover and sheets I bought to use on the bed. I swept the floor, cleaned the surfaces, and cleaned the bathroom. Fallon Marie Decker has not returned my messages, nor made an attempt to reach me to return my deposit. I left the airbnb location on April 30, 2016.
