As a former resident at 1664 10th ave, San Francisco, I need to take a moment to express my extreme frustration with the recent news that I’ve received in regard  to my Security Deposit.

The apartment itself was fine, nice even.

Despite the fact that it was originally advertised as a 4 bedroom place where in fact it was a 3 bedroom apartment where the previous residents had put a mattress in the dining room and you felt fit to misadvertise this on Craigslist.

And that despite the fact that there were 4-5 parking spots for the building and not a single one could be made available for our apartment. Not even for additional payment.

And that our street address made us exempt from qualifying for a J parking permit in the neighborhood, thereby requiring us to move our car every 2 hours.  Another detail that was omitted in the Apt description.

And that the move-in quality of cleanliness for the apartment was abysmal with rotting food, mildew, and mold in the fridge and stinky gray residue on the bathtubs and when we brought it up it was promptly dismissed.

And it was fine that no utilites were included with the apartment and we had to acquire our own account for Garbage where you chose to bogart our recycling bin for several weeks in a row so that we couldn’t use our own garbage.   And that you also left open bins of rotting garbage (not even enclosed in garbage bags) in the front foyer of the building, on the front door steps, or again in our garbage bin.  Thus making it miserable to do laundry in the garage with the stench of rotting garbage poisoning the air.

And that in a moment of miscommunication you accepted double payment for water bill from both my husband and I and never mentioned it or returned payment.

And those 3 AM screaming fights you were having with your daughter above our bedroom? No big deal. Not my business.

Or even the fact that you tried to raise our rent $800  when our 4th roommate moved in. We were able to talk you “down” into only raising our rent to $4100/month.  Yup. $4100/month for a 3 bedroom apartment with no parking in the Sunset.  An apartment which you rent out now to new residents at $3600/month as a 4 bedroom again per the craigslist ad.

Let’s not discuss that.

Let’s discuss the fact that you refused to schedule a walkthrough exit of the apartment for us during the last week of our residence there.

Let’s talk about the fact that my husband and I paid an additional $400 of our own volition to pay for a professional cleaning service to come in to address any cleaning issues to the Apt to refute any future claims of cleanliness status.

Let’s talk about the fact that you told your daughter Janice who told us two contrary pieces of information on when new residents would move in and therefore we scheduled cleaners to come into the apt to detail the apartment to absolute impeccable quality.

Let’s talk about the fact that  you decided to  charge us, therefore, for 3 extra days of rent from our security deposit and a portion of the most recent water bill without showing us a copy of the water bill and did not communicate or tell us any of this and we had to find out through the rental agent today.

That’s just plain fucking Bullshit.

My husband and I are cheerfully now out of having to have any horrific contact with you any further and we plan to keep it that way.

But let me say that I hope, you awful miserable stingy bitch, that Karma kicks you in the ass.

Fuck you.

Thankfully no longer your tenant,

MJ Kim
