LILLIAN SIMONE JACOBS of Carlsbad CA is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. WILL NOT RETURN DEPOSITS. LIED TO US. AVOIDS US NOW.

We signed a rental agreement with Lillian Jacobs/Blue Skies Executive Housing and she made it sound like such a wonderful place for our family Christmas stay while visitng my father-who has terminal cancer and was given 4 months to live and we spend thousands to bring our family to this home at 1850 Lindy Lane Fallbrook.

My Son in law got special leave from eployment and flew in from Qatar, we had to cover the costs of travel flights for 2 daughters and a son in law (Leave from Army in Texas) just to make it all happen for my dying father. We felt it was all woth it-even the steep rent and deposits Lillian charged us.

HOWEVER-We gave her over $1800 for the 7 day rental + she required over $1200 in misc deposits (pet, cleaning, security). She held off signing our agreement till the day before we left to drive down there.

She wouldn't accept credit card-only wired funds. On arrival we saw that a ceiling over the pool table was falling and discovered a leak was coming from the upstairs bathroom sink. My brother was there with us and he turned it off. The sink had to be turned off during our stay. Soon afterwards some family members started to have coughing spells. We moved the sofabed and discovered large amounts of dust balls, hairballs and dirt under and around all the furniture, lamps, drapes, all around the baseboards and even under the beds upstairs. (We took pictures and mentioned to Lillian) After a thorough cleaning, things were a bit better. Then we discovered the Hot tub/Jacuzzi outside was not working as promised. A handyman came by and commented to my husband that he had been asking Lillian to fix it months ago. My husband tried to help out by troubleshooting it and told Lillian she needed a new motor-the switch and other itmes tested out fine.  Suggested taking it in for a free bench test-but we'd live without it.

Because when we first arrived it appeared only Lillian was the maid service-we made extemsive family efforts to clean the entire place the night and morning before leaving (4 adults-5 hours morning of checkout 12/29/14). We purchased wood floor polish and cleaned all floors, all appliances (Inside and out) stove-microwave-fridge-oven. We even sccrubbed down the rear decking and stairs, We did the laundry & folded towels, all bed linens were washed and as we left my husband pulled the floor mop behind him to make sure no footprints were left behind.

Lillian did not return calls or emails after that morniing and for several days, but when she finally responded to us-said her maid service had to clean appliances and do laundry and clean the floors. We sent her the pictures we took and asked her for all the deposit moneies to be returned. Now she does not answer her phone, emails and we have not received anything back from her.

California rental laws say there is No Such Thing as a non-refundable deposit whether a lease agreement has been signed with that included or not-So any deductiuons by the property landlord must be documented as damage not wear and tear or nominal cleaning, and if anything IS deducted documented expenses provided and all deposits must be returned within 3 weeks of vacating by the renter.
