I was interested in renting Mr. Chaney's property on El Estado. Before submitting my rental application I did a quick internet search of his name and came across this website and the multiple allegations against Mr. Chaney and his associate Dan Hall.
I was concerned and asked to review the lease agreement before sending my application fee to him. After reviewing the lease I pointed out that there was nothing in the agreement that stated the landlord had an obligation to make necessary repairs on the unit. I've been a renter for almost 10 years now and I have NEVER signed a lease that didn't include a Repair/Maintenance clause because its generally an industry standard. Additionally, my family manages properties and always includes this in their rental agreements. I asked that the clause be included before I submit my rental application as I didn't want to rent unless it was included.
Once I requested that Mr. Chaney add this clause to the rental agreement he decided to no longer rent the house to me. My husband and I feel that we dodged a bullet. A reputable landlord or property manager will always outline these matters in a rental agreement and honestly any owner/manager that doesn't is likely in the "Slumlord" category or close to it.
I'm not saying don't rent from Tim or his associate, but you should protect yourself by adding a maintenance clause to your rental agreement before signing.
We turned in an application for a Duplex on Dunloe by Tim Chaney and Dan Hall. First of all the application was on a template/Microsoft word. We scanned it to Tim. He kept asking for an application fee via venom. So we sent him $80 and he immediately liked it. Later that afternoon, thank god I did some research and found all of the reviews on Tim. We told Tim to please put a hold on our application, and he acknowledged he would hold it. My partner and I have asked for our app fee to be sent back to us and he won't return our calls or texts. He accidentally butt dialed my partner and she overheard a conversation about the $80. She immediately called him back, and he did not answer. It's not about the money for us in this case, more so the principal of it all. Some sort of legal action needs to be taken place against these two.
Wont answer calls or text. A/C Unit sucks!!! These guys suck!! Save your money and your sanity and don't get into a lease with these guys. Thank God we are out of ours!!!!
Tim Chaney and Dan Hall are the worst so called landlords I had to deal with in my many years of renting. They promised working appliances, simple things like a microwave. We sold ours because Tim told us we would have a brand new microwave. The A/C is horrible in this duplex. They wont return calls, emails or text. If you have an emergency like your microwave blowing out your A/C because it's to much power for the light socket that the makeshift power outlet that is screwed into. The day I was to meet with Tim to get the key, he didn’t show up. Some guy i have never met before shows up acting all sketchy apologizing because Tim was at another house working on something. He says his name is Dan Hall and he is Tim Chaney's partner & boyfriend. Says Tim can locate the keys, almost three hours later after watching him run back in forth from his truck to the house and trying to open windows and calling Tim and yelling at him on the phone via voice mail because he won't answer the phone. And him going to home depot to get new locks since he has to drill out the locks because of the lost keys. They have been a nightmare since day one. We got attorney involved, sent letters. They sent us to letter to vacate because he said our dog was over 30 pounds, He never weighed our dog. He allows the next door neighor to feed all these cats that are reproducing like crazy and hoard them. It's a pretty nasty sight to live next to. And you can litterly look out and see at least 7-10 cats in bewteen the yards. And she will feed them in your yard. These guys will rip you off. Unfortunletly lost some money in this event, thankfully Karma is on my side. Huge sketchy slumlords. These guys can;t even look you in the eye.
