Review of L L Adkins LLC

LL Adkins is a very manipulative liar and thief. I rented a duplex from him for several years. When I left a deposit with him months ahead of my planned move to the area, he promised that the duplex would be cleaned and ready for me to move into. He said it was currently such a mess because the previous tenant had just moved out. When I arrived after driving my belongings half way across the country, the duplex was HORRID. It was filthy and reeked of tobacco smoke. The toilets were SO nasty I had to buy new seats for both bathrooms. The finish was eaten off from urine and feces not having been cleaned in years. I had to unload the rental truck right away so I didnt have time to go looking for other housing again. There were quite a few problems I pointed out to LL (chunks out of moulding, side of bathtub damaged, large dents in metal entrance doors, keys not working, walls filthy with children handprints, stained carpet) etc and he refused to sign a walk through listing those items. He said that he only cared if there were big holes in the walls when I moved out. I spent a small fortune on cleaning supplies and new toilet seats, plus had to stay in a hotel the first night because the place was too filthy to move into. There was oven cleaner that had been drying in the oven for many weeks and just left. He also refused to change the locks from the previous tenant. I was a single female. I became friends with several neighbors who lived in other rental units LL owned. As each tenant moved out, it became clear what type of landlord LL was. He would tell tenants that they had to pay for carpet because he had to replace it (I lived next door and he never replaced carpets that he told tenants they ruined.) He never replaced counter tops that he would charge them for. When I moved out, again across the country, he said that the damge on the doors, bathtub etc was done by me and kept most of my deposit. He knew it was not worth me returning to take him to court. He illegally kept the deposits of every tenant that moved out of his rentals. He was also coming into my unit without permission frequently. The neighbors would see him and I knew someone had been coming into my duplex because things were moved and lights were left on that I had turned off. I had to pay a locksmith to come out and change the locks to keep him from coming in whenever he wanted and then change the locks back to his when I moved out. Pervert. Avoid this degenerate like the plague.
