1950's metal vintage sink and counter with holes in the sink basin.

Owner painted over the metal with acrylic paint and put putty in the holes.

One month after move in the paint began chipping and peeling. Shards of 

paint would float into washed vegetables. I used a plastic basin inside the

sink because Yacklich refused to repair the sink. This is a health hazard.

View of sink basin and strainer water would pour down underneath the sink. An additional plastic basin was placed under the sink to catch water.

Underneath the kitchen sink prior repairs show holes in walls. The holes were cut prior to 2024, 

Above photograph shows visible mold growing in the studs. I washed the floor and studs with bleach. I treated the walls, kitchen, bathroom and vents with Concrobium Mold Control at $41 dollars a bottle. I used ten bottles in two years it only slowed the growth. The downstairs suffered two sewer back ups and two other water leaks in two years. Cost $500

I lost sixty boxes of personal property: my Grandmother's linens, dishes, clothing, photography equipment, record albums... Renters insurance only paid a minimal amount total loss $35,777. Plus time off and labor cleaning up all the four stinky floods.

Asbestos flooring which was cracked in many places

Landlord left broken washer, dryer, old water heater, drapery junk for me to clean up after.

I replaced the shower head at my own cost because it constantly leaked. Cost $39.99 plus two hours of labor

The tub constantly leaked. I replaced the handles but the leak was behind the diverer. The tub surface was worn down to the black metal in spots. The surface reveals raw iron. It has sharp parts that can cut feet. 

 Dark metal shows through the white enamel.

 The remaining gloss is gone. It flaked off in sharp, brittle chips.

Corroded metal bleeds orange stains into the basin. No cleaning fluid known to man would remove the stains see the video

Wet, bare steel emits a distinct, sharp metallic odor.

The thin steel popped and creaked under weight

Bathroom tile at move in already had sharp chips and was poorly filled

Caulking loos as if a shaky hand applied.

The third handyman unlicensed guy came after the fourth leak. He took a sledge hammer to tiles, walls, and ceilings trying to access where there were pin hole leaks.

The Landlord Yaklich refused to seal up all the forty holes which are a health and safety hazard. She claimed the reason to not repair was because she couldn't find the tile. Landlord expected me to continue to pay rent for a uninhabitable house. I paid market rents on time every month for two years. Landlord is licensed Realtor Broker. When I told her it was against the law to rent an uninhabitable house, to not have a rental license, to have failed to disclose the house has lead paint, asbestos, and prior claims and prior leaks she gave me thirty day notice to move. At the time she gave me notice I had paid on time every month. 

I rented a house with two bathrooms. The downstairs was condemned and not useable. This is the terrible condition of the bathroom after Landlord's friends smashed up the walls looking for pipe leaks.

Ceiling caving in from leak

More handiwork of Yaklich's workers cutting holes everywhere

This hole he cut is four feet long

This photos shows the tile buckling up from water so many times. Note Landlord replaced various times as there were prior sewer back ups and water leaks

Refrigerator seal leaked air. Food could not be kept cold. I bought my own refrigerator.
I planted $945 of daffodils which Landlord gave written permission at move in. Her daughter took a weed wacker to all the flowers just before blooming to threaten me. When I asked her to stop she came back that night and ut my whole flower garden down. This landlord and her family entered the house without any notice 61 times.  They would wait until I had gone to work to snoop and lift items.
