Manny Sosa and his fellow thugs "dr." Charleston Carll and Adriana Tafoya are all scam artists in the finest sense of the words. Manny is an ex-con thug from L.A. wanted for millions of dollars in mortgage fraud. He is supporting his heroin habit by renting out foreclosed homes that he claims to own, but does not. He runs multiple ads on craigslist stating "move-in" specials and low deposits...he then requires a large sum of money upon moving in. Once you've moved in, he harasses and threatens you relentlessly. This is part of his scam. You see, you've already spent THOUSANDS on your first, last, and a large deposit. You've MOVED all your stuff. Now, your landlord (also your neighbor!) has become your worst nightmare. The homes LOOK nice...but NOTHING is maintained, and watch out, because Manny refuses to fix anything. If you DO attempt a repair, or ask for permission to reduce your rent, he will tell you "yes". When rent time rolls around, and his pockets are empty due to his heroin habit, he will forget everything he approved and serve you with a prompt eviction notice if you dare reduce your rent. He follows no rules or laws which govern landlord / tenant relationships. Everything he does is simply by way of threat, or intimidation. When you've had enough (and certainly you have, especially if you have a family and kids, and have noticed the late-night parties and comings and goings of his druggie friends) you will eventually pack up and leave. All the better for Mr. Sosa... he will just turn around and rent out your house to another poor schmuck, and extort more money out of them!! Be careful.. be warned! Run a title report before you rent ANYTHING in FLORIDA... especially anything from MANNY SOSA or his girlfriend CHARLESTON CARLL...!!

Its a shame that people you once trusted could write false information on a website to try and damage someones life and reputation. Its a shame that the ones you thought could be trusted quickly turn on you when rent is due. I rented out one of my Florida homes to Sam and Genivieve Baker thinking they were people I could trust. Not only did they lie about who they were but, they took total advantage of me. They have lied to me since day one. This is what happens when you rent to people without running a background check, which I'm gulity of. Since I do not live in Florida, I asked Sam and Genivieve Baker to manage my properties. THIS WAS MY BIG MISTAKE! They paid their full rent for their first month ONLY but, it was also the last month they paid the full rent. I decided to take a trip to Florida to see what was really going on.  I felt like Sam and Genivieve Baker were taking advantage of our property management agreement and as I antisapated,  when I arrived none of the work they stated had been done and I as
any landlord would I have, had to put a stop to it. The following months they made fraudulent and outrageous deductions. One month they had so many deductions, they stated, I owed them $300.00.  I did agreed to deduct from the rent for the second month but, when they continued to come up with fraudulent & bogus charges for the next month I became aware once in Florida,  nothing was being done to the houses as they so stated. I informed them that I no longer needed their help with property management.
Sam & Genivieve Baker created fictitious invoices and are liars and thieves.  They expected me to deduct money from their rent. This was Sam Baker's way of not paying rent because he was fired from his job and he and his wife decided to "free-load" off my property. Had they paid their rent in a timely manner, I would not have had to continuously ask for money that was owed to me. It was well past the 1st of the month and they continued to disregard their lease and any late payments. Any landlord would demand they pay or "get-out".  After several weeks of waiting and attempting to work with them because I knew they had a family and Genivieve Baker was unemployed as well. I decided to follow through with the eviction process. Its sad that people could go as far as accusing someone of drug use and late night parties. THIS IS NOTHING BUT LIES AND SAM & GENIVIEVE BAKER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES to stoop so low and accuse people of using drugs when you both know that is the most ridiculous accusation you have stated. Sam and Genivieve Baker have nothing better to do than to try and bring people down. Sam Baker is wanted in Utah for A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION stealing assets from his ex wife. He was married to someone who had money in the past, once she left him for cheating with GENIVIEVE BAKER. They stole her possessions and moved out of town. Sam and Gen Baker thrive off bringing people down. Sam just finished a book which is full of malicious stories regarding his ex wife who supported him while he took advantage of her. Utah Police Department emailed on his whereabouts because he is nothing but a crook that takes advantage of people and is looking for a free ride. Sam Baker NO ONE WILL EVER ALLOW YOU TO LIVE RENT FREE. LANDLORDS BEWARE ...I dont even think SAM & GENIVIEVE BAKER are their real names. They dont have bank accounts or use any credit cards. On several occasions Sam and his wife Genivieve couldnt even afford food and had to borrow hundreds of dollars from me to cover their expenses. I am a family man myself, and did not hesitate to loan them money which was never returned to me. Once things didnt go their way, and he realized he couldnt afford the rent he quickly turned to what he does best. DEFAMATION!! Sam and Gen you need to move on with you lives and move out of my property. Im still waiting for your lawyer to call me.

These accusations are false. It's a shame that two people could continue to lie to new tenants Holly Bohn and Micheal Weiss. You both seem like very nice people but it's unfortunate that you have fallen for their deception and false accusations.
