Ted Takata slum lord, lies, does not fix ANYTHING, never follows through with anything, doesnt call you back, worst landlord EVER! DO NOT RENT FROM HIM! Honolulu Hawaii

In regards to the question if he is the apartment manager. He is not. He just the landlord/realtor of that specific apartment. All the apartments in the building are individually owned. I am in the process of writing several letters of complaints about him. Thank you for your comment, by the way. My boyfriend was actually in the Navy when we moved in. Ted Takata told us that if he were deployed, or had to take leave because of the military that it would be no problem, and he could pay the rent when he got back, and he would hold the apartment for us. Well this happened...once. My boyfriend was gone for one month. He told Ted ahead of time that he would be gone. And he would give him the rent when he got back. His leaving was VERY sudden, and he had seriously an hour to get ready and go. Ted did not cooperate at all. He said he was going to have to charge him the fee anyway, even though he previously said he wouldnt. On saturday, feb 4th, I talked to Ted myself because he was throwing a fit that we were not finished moving, when he initially gave us until the 5th to be finished. He said he wanted us to MOVE OUT NOW! He had several people already lined up for the place. Which is understandable, I know he wants to rent it out. but he shouldn't have told us that he had until the 5th. He was seriously throwing a fit, calling us, getting irate. I told him to meet us at the apartment on Sunday, Feb 5th at 2:00 so we could check out. He said fine. Low and Behold, Sunday comes around and we call him several times through the day to confirm. he never answers our calls, or calls us back. He never showed up. We called and left him a message saying that we were there, and he wasn't. And we were leaving our forwarding address in the apartment so he could mail us our deposit back. So, we will see what happens. He is TERRIBLE.

Is he just the property manger?

I'm familiar with your building, I even know a guy that worked for building maintenance there. He quit because the owners didn't want them to fix anything. Hawaii has good landlord/tenant laws and I suggest you at least report the violations. The owner of your apartment is probrably unaware of the conditions, may not even line on-island and is paying the realtor to look after their property. Judges do not take kindly to slumlords here. A lot of the tenants in the Towers are military, and the locals feel they can get away with ripping the soldiers and sailors off because they don't stay long enough to make court appearances.
