Paul T Nguyen and Angela Tran who own 1228 Delano Street, Houston, TX 77003 are the absolute worst Land Lords I have met in my 42 Years on this Planet, in my opinion. They are crooks.

 

I had to Move out as after having to Personally Fight Sears to get the Mocrowave Repaired, due to non Building Code Compliant Faulty Wiring, that took three Techicians to repair. Having to replace Capicators in the HVAC Condernsor, and then the straw that broke the Camels back was when I stared pointing out Building Code Violations. Taking pictures and sending them to him.

When the Plumbing was leaking in the the 3rd Floor Guest Bathroom, the 2nd Floor Half Bathroom, as well as under the kitchen sink so bad that it would fill a large pail every 24 hours, mold was growing out of control, and I had to write him, "Please send a Licensed Plumber, as I do not want to have to call moldconsultanttx.com to evlaute the House, who has received The Angie's List Consumer Excellence Award Every year dince 2007, and does every type inspection imaginable, that finally got his attention.

 

By then the Plumbing got so bad that Black Mold was growing under the Kitchen sink, and my 3 year old Son was having to use a Nebulizer. I emailed him, and finally he called a Plumber. My wife had the window open so she could record what he was saying to the Plumber, that conversation lasted 28 minutes while he begged the Plumber to Push it back, or say it was our fault. 

When the Licensed Plumber did finally arrive, he asked the Plumber, "Can you Push it back just 2 Months?" As their Lease is up then. The Plumber informed him how lucky he was to have a tennant who not only found it, but had a wife who vigilantly would work around the clock to keep the Mold From Getting anyworse than it already is.

I got to hand to the guys at YB Plumbing ynbplumbing.com they would not budge, after 28 long minutes they finally came back in to let us know that they told Paul T Nguyen / AKA The Land Lord the Truth, it was not our fault, it was due to Cheap Construction, and Faulty Plumbing.

He told the Plumber who told him, "Sir this cannot be put this off any longer", fine, I want the absolute Cheapest Everything, which is what was Installed. If you look at the Pictures he advertised the house with, and the Kitchen Faucet, two different Faucets.

If you are thinking about moving in this house, look under the Kitchen Sink, it is Black with Mold. If you are thinking about leasing from these people please relaize that they do not Return The Deposit, out of $1,850.00 I recieved a Check for $550.00. Also realize that they will turn anything Considered Normal Wear and Tear into your Fault. They even Charged me for Replacing a Picket Fence the Place did not come with, that I bought, all while Landscaping is included in the Rent. The list is a mile long of the Scandelous things they did. You would figure after Politely Providing them a Copy of: 


The State of Texas Property Code: Chapter 92 / Sections listed below.

This is the Law! If you have been Ripped Off by a Land Lord and Live in Texas, contact an Attorney that Specializes in Tennant / Land Lord Disputes. Do not attempt to fight for what is yours on your own after you have been denied wrongfully. By law you have to give them a month.

 If you have held off on reporting building code violations, or revealing the True Indoor Air Quality, report it to the Proper Authorities. I tried dealing with these People. I saved them a lot of Headache. You know what I got in return? I was Ripped Off!
