A warning to all renters and home buyers.
I wanted to warn everyone about a realtor in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area. Sonja Boles is the worst landlord ever and should be avoided at all costs. We lived in one of the houses she managed and in this case owned. We had a horrible experience the whole time we lived their. Her and her team was rude and uncaring about their customers.
It started before we even got the key. We asked if we could sign the lease and get the key 8 hours earlier because her office did not open until 10AM on Saturday and we were moving on Saturday. I was then told they would have to rewrite the lease charge us for another whole day. I should have known then.
We were in the house a few months starting in November. There were a few days of warm weather and the weeds in the lawn grew long as well as a few other bushes did a growth spurt. The grass itself had not gown at all. We then got a letter telling us to trim the bushes and mown the lawn. This letter I accepted although felt it was a bit annoying seeing that it is still early in the season and it was just the few warm days that caused it. One week later another letter arrived where she threatened to hire someone to trim the bushes and mow and charge us. This was just getting annoying. I emailed her and she just kept rattling off what the letter said never listing to what I said or what has actually going on.
This email bitching went back and forth for a while and finally I just stopped dealing with her and by 6 months in we knew we had to move soon; of course we had a year lease.
When we did finally leave she charged us $550 in repairs to the house. She blamed us for broken tile that was poorly installed and charged us almost $400 for that. She charged us for a dirty A/C filter that I replaced two days before I turned in the keys. She charged us $35 for a small scuff mark on the kitchen floor (one of those made by some black soled shoes). She also charged us for wear and tear items like calk around the kitchen counter.
Everyone that I talked to that also dealt with her also told me about similar experiences with her. How she was rude to them. How she seemed to have no clue about anything that was going on and not listening to what they were saying.
Just avoid Sonja Boles and her company at www.planohomes.com and www.friscohomes.com.
