QUOTE OF THE WEEK

FACT OF THE WEEK

In 2005, in Top of the Hill, the Kansan chose Serina Hearn as best landlord. I own over 25 fabulous houses and have never had a situation arise as presented in last weeks' University Daily Kansan 19th July, 2006, in which two tenants of mine Joan Pinnell and Kelly Cook essentially distorted a kernel of fact into accusations that they were living in a "shithole" and had a terrible landlord.
Cook did not sign a sublease contract with us.In fact,she
I have had tenants tell me that they have never had a problem with Rainbow Works and apologize for problems people may have caused.
The facts are these: Pinnel and Cooks' lease began August 3rd, after 12:00 pm, as stated on their lease agreement. I have no idea why they say they turned up at 8:00 am but Cook did have a set of keys to the house and the house was open to them that day. My carpenter will testify to that as he was working on the front handrail at the house.
never filled out an application form as was requested of her for her August 05/06 lease, and we did not know she was living there over the summer. While living there, she never called to complain to us about any problems with the house, though she might have complained to her workmates, and neither did the legatimate tenants.
She called for an inspection by the City on 27th July, three days before the legal tenants were to move out. The City did the inspection and gave 21 days to repair the problems that had not been called in to us. Brian Hermanez, Neighborhood Resources of the City of Lawrence, pointed out to Jack Weinstein, the University Daily Kansan reporter, that Serina Hearn had ALL problems corrected by the 1st of August, less than four days after inspection. He tried to explain that this was a very quick and professional response to an inspection especially as the City gives 21 days to correct problems. The truth is that we had
already begun the process before Cook called the City. When Cook, Pinnel and the other roomates moved in on August third Rainbow Works had corrected ALL problems.
Another untruth that the University Daily Kansan reported was that "she had to replace the front porch" at the city's request, when all that was needed was that Rainbow Works strengthen a handrail and part of the NW corner of the porch.
What Pinnel and Cook never explained to the University Daily Kansan was that the legal tenants had turned off the heating in the winter of 05 which caused the water pipes to freeze and burst in 12 places, on three floors, and cost thousands to repair. Because of the severity of the water damage to ceilings we at Rainbow Works waited until the end of July 05 to go in and replace three plaster ceilings with sheet rock, completely repaint the downstairs in order to recify the cosmetic damage to the house.

Man, the liberals on campus are just really pissing me off with their crazy
politic-ing stuff.
I totally don't even know if you guys are even putting stuff in the paper right now, but I love you University Daily Kansan free for all, I love you.
Hey this is just a little piece of advice coming from a guy to all the girls out there. If you go out to the bars, on kind of a semi-date with a guy, do not talk about your ex-boyfriend that you bump into while he was getting a drink for you. Just a pointer because the guy doesn't want to hear about that at all.
