Statement of Claim
Claimant says:
"I had to sign a 10 page Rental Agreement to rent one of their homes. 0n page 5 of 10, PERSONAL PROPERTY, it defines items of their personal property that renters pay a fee of $225.00 per month which is included in the monthly rent.
The paragraph specifically lists those items from which the $225.00/month is derived from. In the paragraph it list items of personal property but not limited to specific items to include furniture and furnishings. I have an email from the company stating that the homes do not come with any furniture nor furnishings. I am sure that is also stated on their website.
Being that furniture and furnishings are not provided and my personal property clause states part of my rent is for furniture and furnishings, the amount of $225.00/month should be lower to only pay for personal property within the home. Every single family who has ever signed this contract has been ripped off."

    PERSONAL PROPERTY: The "Rental Amount" specified herein includes $225.00 per month for the rental of personal property including but not limited to the stove and oven, refrigerator, and other appliances including but not limited to ceiling fans, heating and cooling units, window coverings, furniture, common area equipment and furnishings.

    My rental amount specified is $975.00. Included within my $975.00 per month is a fee of $225.00 for rental of your Personal Property. So yes I am paying for items so listed in this paragraph to include but not limited to furniture and furnishings.

    I give you 24 hours (2 pm EST on January 27th) to give me a proper resolution, proving you can understand your own agreement.

    This is actually quite simple. In a court you are asked if this paragraph is withing your rental agreement? Yes. What is Mr. Adams' monthly Rental amount? $975.00. Is it so stated that included in Mr Adams' monthly rental fee of $975.00 is a fee of $225.00 for your Personal Property? Yes. Does it so state that specific items but not limited to furniture and furnishings are Personal Property that part of MR. Adams' rent pays for? Yes. Did you tell Mr. Adams that he does not pay the fore mentioned $225.00? Yes. Did you make this statement to Mr. Adams, "This $225.00 is a value inserted for Personal Property Tax Valuation Issues related to our firm. Yes.

    This is fraud on every tenant that signed a rental agreement stating these facts. Further more, this statement being used for tax purposes commits fraud against the United States Government. Wonder what a class action law suit and fines by the government could cost?

    I am still moving in my home at 3205 W. Cortaro Farms Rd., Unit 37, Tucson AZ 85742 on January 12, 2013.
    When does the office open on that date, please?

    If I am not satisfied by your resolution of this matter, my claim will be so processed and be reviewed by an attorney for merit. If my claim has legal merit, well we both know where it goes next. As this issue is a stressor in my life, the longer it continues the higher the cost to my health.

    PS: The word "may" is not included in said paragraph. Either I do not understand English or I am being lied to.......

    Dear James I checked with the owners and their tax people. This $225.00 is a value inserted for Personal Property Tax Valuation Issues related to our firm. As I tried to explain, this is NOT a fee paid by the Resident. Your request that we discount your rent is unnecessary as it is NOT a fee. And, you do not have to pay any of it. The verbiage covers anything that may be considered personal property in relation to the rental. We request that you withdraw this claim based on the fact that you are disputing a Property Tax Value that does not impact you. Should this bother you to the point that you are reconsidering your rental with Tucson Rental Homes, I will be happy to void your lease and return your deposit. This offer is being extended with an expiration time of 48 hours (10:00 am, 12/28/12). Please withdraw the complaint and let me know your rental decision.

    RENT: The “Total Monthly Rent” specified herein, shall be payable monthly in advance, no later than 6:00 p.m. on the 1st day of each month. All checks shall be made payable to Tucson Rental Homes, Ltd. Rent is due on the first day of each month and late on the 2nd day of the month. Rent not paid on the first day of each month shall be delinquent and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as “Additional Rent” an initial late charge of $35.00 for the first day late plus $10.00 per day, everyday thereafter until rent is paid in full. Tenant shall pay, as “Additional Rent” a charge of $50.00 (plus all late charge fees incurred) for checks returned by Tenant’s bank as “non-sufficient funds” or for any other reason. In the event that Tenant defaults under any of the terms and provisions of this Rental Agreement, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the sum of $25.00, as reimbursement for administrative costs in connection with the preparation and delivery of any default notices under ARS §33-1368(A), including, but not limited to, notices for failure to pay rent. Rent is payable by check, money order, cashier’s check or online credit card or electronic transmittal only. Multiple personal checks and/or cash are
    not accepted. In the event that the Tenant delivers a late payment or a check returned for non-payment, Tenant shall immediately deliver a cashier's check or money order made out to the Landlord including all rent due together with all fees as described above. All subsequent payments, after a late payment or a returned check, shall be paid to the Landlord with a Cashier's Check or Money Order only. Landlord offers rentals for various time periods, typically 3, 6, 9 or 12 month periods. Rent is based upon the current rate for the lease term length chosen by Tenant. Generally, the longer the Lease term, the lower
    the monthly rent. The difference in rental amounts for a 3 month lease term and any of the longer terms is a “discount” given by Landlord to Tenant in consideration for fulfilling the longer lease term. The Discount for this lease term is an additional $75 per month. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant fails to fulfill the full term of any of the longer periods that Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the “discount” given to Tenant and that any security deposit provided by Tenant may be used for that purpose, after first deducting amounts for damages and other charges.

    VOLUNTARY PRE-PAID RENT: Tenant has voluntarily paid these monies to be applied to the “Total Monthly Rent”. These monies shall only be applied to the last one or two months (specified herein) prior to the specific Termination Date in the “Lease Term” herein, and in accordance with the required 60 day notice as specified herein. Tenant shall not use these funds to pay
    rent for any other months except the one or two months (specified herein) prior to the Termination Date listed in the “Lease Term” herein. Landlord may apply monies in accordance with ARS § 33-1321d:

    SECURITY DEPOSIT: Tenant shall pay the Landlord the "Security Deposit" specified herein. This deposit shall be held by the Landlord during the term of this agreement to insure compliance by the Tenant with all provisions of this Rental Agreement and the provisions of
    A.R.S. Section 33-1341. The Landlord shall have the right to retain or apply so much of the security deposit as shall reimburse the Landlord for damages suffered by Tenant’s failure to comply with applicable Arizona Revised Statutes and the provisions of this Rental Agreement. Tenant also authorizes the Landlord to utilize deposits, fees and/or any monies received from Tenant to reimburse damages suffered by Tenant’s failure to comply with applicable Arizona Revised Statutes and the provisions of this Rental Agreement during the term of this agreement. In the event the Landlord does use any of these monies, the Tenant
    agrees to immediately pay to the Landlord an amount sufficient to fully return the deposits, fees and/or any monies to the original amount specified herein and failure to do so after notice shall be grounds for immediate termination of the Rental Agreement.

    NON-REFUNDABLE FEE: Tenant shall pay the Landlord the “Non-Refundable Fee” specified herein. This fee is nonrefundable and it shall be applied to offset the costs of normal wear & tear. This fee shall not be applied to extraordinary cleaning costs and/or repair or replacement of damaged items.

    ANY APPLICABLE CONCESSIONS: Depending upon market conditions, a concession may be given in order to induce a tenant to enter into a signed lease for a specific house. Should the Tenant herein receive a Monthly Concession from the Landlord, the Base Rental Rate, per the signed Rental Agreement shall be reduced by the Applicable Concession listed herein. This concession requires full compliance with all terms of the Rental Agreement. In the event that the Tenant fulfills the terms of the lease in its entirety (with no exceptions-except military deployment), then the Tenant may pay the Total Monthly Rental Amount as listed on the lease. In the event that the Tenant does not fully comply with the rental term and all other terms of the
    Rental Agreement, then the entire Concession, received by the Tenant, shall become “Additional Rent”, past due and payable, immediately, to the Landlord. ASSIGNMENT AND OCCUPANCY RESTRICTIONS: The maximum number of occupants shall be restricted to only those persons listed and disclosed on the Rental Application. In addition to being in default, Tenant hereby forfeits all deposits and fees by raising this number and/or allowing any other persons to occupy said premises for more than seven (7) days without having obtained prior written consent from the Landlord. The premises shall be used solely as a personal residence and for no other use and purpose. The Tenant shall not assign this lease or sublet any portion of the
    premises.

    to the above address during normal business hours. Tenant understands that a charge based on the previous month's Water Company's bill, minus any applicable common area charges, shall be levied once a month.

    WINDOW COVERINGS may not be removed. Tenant agrees to dust mini-blinds regularly to prevent heavy dust build-ups. Miniblinds are a custom, decorative feature. They have little insulating value. To obtain maximum heating and cooling efficiency, Tenants may, at their own expense, add draperies only if the liner or the portion visible from the outside of home is white in color.

Landlord may enter the dwelling unit without Tenant's consent in case of emergency.

    VACATING THE UNIT: Tenant must vacate the premises on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Termination Date. Both this Agreement and Arizona Law will be violated if Tenant remains in possession of the unit after the Termination Date if a new agreement has not been signed. ARS 33-1375(C) permits a Landlord to recover up to twice the monthly rent or twice Landlord's actual damages, whichever is greater, if you remain in possession after the Termination Date without a new Agreement. Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate fully during move-out to allow new prospective tenants to inspect the property at reasonable times.
    Upon request by the Tenant, the Landlord shall notify the Tenant when the Landlord's move-out inspection will occur. Tenant may be present at the move-out inspection. Tenant agrees that the dwelling unit has been professionally cleaned prior to when Tenant moved in and Tenant agrees to clean and maintain the unit and the yard area and return both to Landlord in the same condition as received by the Tenant. Tenant agrees to patch and re-paint all mars, scratches, holes and other drywall deficiencies, and to clean, rake and/or replace gravel in the yard in order to return the premises and yard to the same condition as when received by Tenant.

    KEYS & VACATING: Upon vacating the premises, the Tenant shall deliver all keys and garage remotes (if applicable) to the Landlord.

Tenant hereby agrees to comply in full with all additional policies. Policies shall be fair, reasonable and applied equally to all Tenants.

    NOISE, ETC. and/or any loud or boisterous activities shall not be permitted. If you create noise that is audible to neighboring homes, then you are in violation of this restriction. Unruly behavior or excessive noise, as defined herein, shall be grounds for eviction. Drinking or consumption of alcoholic beverages in parking or common areas is strictly prohibited. Alcoholic beverages may only be consumed inside your home or inside your yard area only! Tenant agrees to use good judgment and thoughtfulness toward others.

    WAIVER/SEVERABILITY: A failure of the Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of these rules and regulations contained in the Rental Agreement herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the rights or remedies the Landlord may have, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms of these rules and regulations. If a term or provision of this Rental Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the
    remainder of this Rental Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Rental Agreement shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    NONCOMPLIANCE: Any violation of or noncompliance with this agreement shall be construed as a material breach of this Rental Agreement and the Landlord may deliver a written notice to terminate the Rental Agreement as allowed by A.R.S. 33-1368. Upon written notice from the Landlord, this agreement converts to a month-to-month term if false or misleading information is contained in the Rental Application(s) of this agreement. The Landlord may recover all reasonable damages, resulting from noncompliance by the Tenant with the Rental Agreement or A.R.S. 33-1341, or occupancy of the dwelling unit,
    and all quantifiable damage caused by the Tenant to the interior and/or exterior of the dwelling unit.

    PERSONAL PROPERTY: The "Rental Amount" specified herein includes $225.00 per month for the rental of personal property including but not limited to the stove and oven, refrigerator, and other appliances including but not limited to ceiling fans, heating and cooling units, window coverings, furniture, common area equipment and furnishings.

    FEES/INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS: In the event that either Landlord or Tenant shall institute any action or proceeding against the other, reasonable attorneys' fees together with all costs and expenses shall be awarded to the prevailing party. If this account is referred for collection, Tenant agrees to pay collection fees up to 45% on the balance owing. Except as expressly provided, any amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum legal rate of interest for non-business loans. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Rental Agreement.

    TAXES: In the event that any authorized governmental unit raises a rental tax, the Landlord hereby reserves the right to properly notify the Tenant, and the Tenant agrees to pay this tax pursuant to A.R.S. §33-1314(E).

    MOLD & MILDEW: Tenant agrees to provide appropriate climate control, keep the home clean, and take other measures to retard and prevent mold and mildew from accumulating in the home. Tenant agrees to clean and dust the home on a regular basis and to remove visible moisture accumulation on windows, walls, and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant agrees not to block or cover any of the heating, ventilation or air-conditioning ducts in the home. Tenant agrees to immediately report to the Landlord: 1.) any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in the home, storage room, garage or other common area; 2.) any evidence of mold or mildew-like growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a common
    household cleaner and wiping area; 3.) any failure or malfunctioning in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems or laundry systems in the home; and 4.) any inoperable doors or windows. Tenant further agrees that Tenant shall be responsible for damages to the Premises and Tenant’s property as well as injury to the Tenant and Occupants resulting from Tenant’s failure to comply with the terms of this Paragraph.

    PLUMBING: fixtures, including the bath sink, toilet, kitchen sink and hot water heater all have a "turn off valve". In a plumbing emergency, Tenant shall turn off (by turning clockwise) the appropriate valve and call the Landlord. To shut off the water to your home completely, go outside and locate the water meter, you will see a valve next to it. Turn the valve clockwise to shut off all water to the house. (*Note: Tenant shall call the Landlord immediately upon shutting off any water valve.) Remember that
    a toilet will never overflow as long as you remember to immediately reach behind the toilet and turn the chrome/plastic "turn off valve" clockwise until it stops.

    HEATPUMP: If the premises are equipped with a heat pump, Tenant understands that for optimal efficiency: 1. Tenant shall set thermostat to one setting and leave it there. A heat pump does not deliver heating or cooling in a "blast" method. It is designed to deliver heat and cooling in a more even distribution pattern. The system will only operate properly if you choose one setting
    on your thermostat for the summer and one for the winter. Leave it on this setting for the best combination of comfort and economy of operation. 2. To save money every month on utility bills, Tenant agrees to change heat pump filter once every 30 days in the summer and once every 60 days in the winter. Regularly changing filters will result in greater comfort, cleaner air and lower utility bills. Heat Pumps are designed to deliver more energy than it uses. On the heat side, a heat pump warms your home gently with heated air at less than 100 degrees until the selected temperature is reached, not in a sudden hot blast of 130
    degrees (typically associated to the old gas furnace heating systems). On the cool side, a heat pump also controls moisture content so you won't be bothered by sticky air and high humidity, and all the air in your home circulates through a filter, resulting in a cleaner house year-round.

    At our Sabino Canyon community, at which the fireplaces run on gas, you can simply switch on and off the wall switch Tenant understands and agrees that a direct vent gas fireplace can be dangerous and Tenant warrants and agrees that Tenant, Tenant's Children, guests, pets or invitees shall not touch any part of the unit or venting, at any time. Tenant also understands that lighting a gas fireplace improperly can cause an explosion which can injure Tenant or others standing nearby, and that i f
    the gas is left turned on without a flame, or if the flame for some reason is extinguished during its use, the natural gas that is utilized to operate the fireplace is dangerous and can cause severe physical injury or death. Tenant further understands that an improperly burning fireplace can create carbon monoxide, which if the flue or venting is not completely open can cause severe physical injury or death.
    Tenants in all homes with fireplaces agree to control all children and others in or near the fireplace so that they do not injure themselves. Tenant agrees that his or her use of the fireplace shall be a waiver of any and all liability that landlord may have by reason of Tenants use except for landlord’s liability as imposed by the Arizona Landlord-Tenant Act.

    ALTERATIONS: The Tenant shall make no alteration, addition or improvement, temporary or permanent, to the dwelling unit either on the interior, exterior, yard, or common area, nor shall Tenant make any repairs to the premises without prior written notice to and written approval by Landlord.

    registered and to have the registration and insurance in adequate amounts to cover all damage maintained during the term of the lease.

    COMMUNITY POOL/MASTER BATH SPA: Tenant agrees to abide by all the rules and regulations (attached to lease) for the use of the Community Pool and Master Bath Spa. Violations of the rules and regulations of the pool and Master Bath Spa can lead to a termination of the lease agreement or in the alternative a revocation of privileges at the option of the Landlord to utilize the Community Pool and/or Master Bath Spa. Tenant by initializing this paragraph understands and accepts the fact that
    the use of Community Pool and Master Bath Spa is a dangerous activity and that injury can occur to persons not only by their own inattention to safety rules but also by others not abiding by appropriate safety rules. Tenants therefore agrees that they will utilize the Community Pool and Master Bath Spa at their own risk and shall look to their own insurance policies, as required within this lease, in the event of personal injury as the result of the use of the Community Pool and Master Bath Spa other than
    as provided by law that the landlord must also be responsible. Tenant is specifically reminded that a Spa is typically kept at a high temperature, which if a person has an illness, or has imbibed alcohol prior to submerging themselves within the Master Bath Spa; such an activity can cause death or other physical problems merely by immersing themselves in the water. Tenant understands that there is no lifeguard and there is no on-site management. Children may not, under any circumstances, use
    the Community Pool without the direct supervision, at all times, by a competent parent or legal guardian. Tenant understands that pool gate locks from the inside and outside. Keys should be kept within reach in case of an emergency. Pets, bikes, and skateboards are not allowed in the pool area. Tenant accepts all liability, and agrees to hold the Landlord harmless, except when specifically prohibited by law, in the event of injury or liability because of the use of the Community Pool and Master Bath
    Spa and Tenant warrants that he/she understands the risks.

Proof of violation shall not require a criminal conviction and only a preponderance of the evidence. It is agreed that credible evidence of the smell of marijuana, shall be sufficient evidence of the presence of marijuana, without regard to whether the cause of the smell was the Tenant, or Tenant’s
    guest/invitee or some other individual in the dwelling.

    $225.00 is included in the rent. It is NOT an additional charge.

    You’ll have to park the truck in one spot and the trailer in another. The community parking lot isn’t big enough to park the truck and trailer together.

    There is no parking spot big enough for a truck with an attached trailer, I would think. Where can I park this until Monday?

    These units are all unfurnished, you WILL NOT be paying extra for furnishings.

    I NEVER said it was an additional FEE!
    Part of my rent pays for furniture and furnishings that do NOT exist.
    I am MOVING into my home as per our contract.
    I signed your contract expecting to have furniture and furnishings as the contract states.
    Then I asked Cesar Molina what furniture and furnishings I would have and he said there are NO furniture nor furnishings.
    I signed your contract in good faith. You lied to me and have defrauded me of part of my rent payment is for nothing.......
    Retired military do not frighten easily. We expect honesty and integrity in business practices as is in our souls.
    You might want to look up those two words as obviously they are foreign to you.

    Dear James
    We have had your messages and communications and the lease provision reviewed by our landlord-tenant lawyer. The lawyer has advised us that you signed a lease with the provision in it and you did so without questioning the provision or asking that it be changed. The lawyer advised that the provision is not a "fee" as you have claimed, it is a statement that a part of the rent is apportioned by the landlord to personal property.
    Again, I would like to extend an offer to rescind your rental agreement and to return your deposits. I have come to the conclusion, after consulting with our attorney, that I do not believe that it would be productive to spend any more time arguing or communicating with you about this issue.
    Should you decide to file a lawsuit in spite of my offer to relieve you of you lease obligations, we will be turning it over to our attorney for response.
    Yours,

  • I am the claimant. Jennifer Sheehy, your suggestion is CRAP.
    I buy a new car. I looked at the sticker price and signed the deal. Later I read the entire sticker to see what my money bought for me. I see a package of combined components for a set cost. As I read the package components, I see two items that I did not realize are included, and I am excited. I go back to the dealer and ask where the two stated items I paid for are. The dealer tells me that the car manufacturer NEVER puts the two components in any car they make, other than the model shown in a picture.
    I was good with the sticker bottom line cost. I never expected to be shown, in print, what every dollar of my money bought. I did though expect to have in my possession every item listed on my car.
    Dealer told me the two non-existing components are listed on all of the thousands of cars the manufacturer sells due to tax purposes, their taxes.
    The dealer/manufacturer committed fraud against me and fraud against the US Government for telling lies.
    My analogy is a perfect depiction to my claim.
    Now, Jennifer Sheehy, tell me where I am WRONG!

  • It seems like that a potential resolution, while not the resolution you are looking for, has been suggested. Landlords and landlord companies do have the right to ask for any rates and rental fees that they want. If you do not agree with the fees or rates that are requested, you can choose not to rent at that particular property. While the rental agreement does state there is a fee associated with and incorporated into your rental payment, the first page of the rental agreement does state the base rent is $920. The rental company seems to have offered you a way out of the rental agreement without any penalties. If you really feel that strongly about the rental agreement, you could seek to rent elsewhere.
