Overall the house was summed up with two words … dirty and dangerous. It was filthy everywhere. The windowsills have not been cleaned in years. There was dog poop, which we had to clean up, all over the front yard. The tables needed to be wiped down. We even cleaned the shower. The house is under major construction which you would be able to see if i could link photos, but im not allowed by the rules.
The general house description was not as advertised, the bed count was short by 3 King beds. Much of the house was in disrepair: couches with zero cushion left, duct tape holding together the bar pad, a non-working fireplace, and generally just bizarre issues like a light switch missing but an extension cord wired to it, to power a heater 3’ away in the main living area, soap dispensers were highly watered down and ineffective in cleaning, so we were forced to buy all of our own soap.
The most alarming and glaring safety issue was the exposed electrical work all over the home. There are overhead missing light fixtures, wall switches and more that are simply missing, but the electrical work is there and is fully exposed. We were told ‘it’s safe’ as it’s turned off, but that’s not acceptable. Not to mention, if the breaker(s) powering any of these was flipped it suddenly would be a very dangerous situation. We stayed in the house with kids ranging from 3-13, at least 10 of these exposed wires were within reach, with probably another 15-20 out of reach on ceilings. Additionally, there are several ‘hot-wired’ electrical connections where an extension cord is quite literally hot-wired to an outlet or light switch in a permanent fashion, then maybe run through a window and to power some other part of the house, outdoor lighting, etc.
There was expired food in the fridge that one of the 8 year olds started eating and described it as "doesn't taste right". The expiration of this exact cheese was February 2022. The kitchen bowls and equipment had dirt and dead bugs in them, specifically the items in the corner near the toaster oven. Behind the locked doors in the kitchen, you could see through the spray-painted windows that there were trash bags and aluminum stacked about 10 feet tall in this small room.
DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE!!! VERY DANGEROUS!!! VERY DIRTY!!!
