Ohio
Please post here in this format City, Name and Experience
ANYONE who might be seeking out a place to rent in the Wilmington, Ohio area. If you find a nice set of Apartment on Farmers rd. called the Cross Creek Apartments owned by Mike Thompson and Christina Poe please STAY AWAY. My family and I moved in our apartment in Jan of 2012. Mike seemed so caring and compelled to help get us into the apartment. We looked at the apartment we felt like it was nicely located and because we don't have a lot of money when Mike offered to cut the deposit in half we agreed the same day. On Feb 1st I woke up to my four year old standing in the doorway and Mike Thompson sitting on our porch with a receipt book very anxious to collect rent. The next couple months were uneventful. In April we had some financial problems and a relative of ours was killed in a tornado in Kentucky. Since we were short on Cash we asked Mike Thompson if we could pay him 550 instead of 650 so we would be able to go to the funeral and he looked straight in my Fiancés face and said that's not my problem I'm not concerned if you can make it to the funeral
Now the good stuff we ended up being two months late in rent plus 200 dollars in late fees.. I lost my job and we just weren’t making it. Mike called and stopped at the house every day for two weeks to threaten shutting off our water and yelling at my fiancé to get a job and also saying degrading things such as what kind of man would let his family be in this kind of position. My fiancé has worked and sells life insurance. We both have had a five month long battle filling out application after application, registering with every temp agency in the area and still cannot find work. We always answered the door and the phone and just tried to be honest each time. Finally, he called and said I had to come up with money by the next day or he would be shutting off our water. I have a one year old and a four year old daughter and this man failed to file an eviction or give us a three day notice but instead left us and our children in a home without water. Mid-August Mike Thompson filed an eviction through the court. Mike called and explained he had filed the eviction but if we came up with a decent amount of money he could stop the eviction at any time. September 1st we received eviction papers in the mail court was to be on the 11th. My family and I gathered all the money we could which was 1000.00's and on September 5th called to make arrangements. Keep in mind that with late charges we only owed the man 1500.00, Mike Thompson agreed that if we brought him the money he could stop the eviction.Mike Thompson agreed that he would not evict us. My fiancé gave him the money and Mike replied good I will see you in court. Still not sure what was going on Mike told us that he could get things continued in court while we come up with the rest of the money. September 11th we go to court and without even being able to talk to the magistrate we were given 7 days before the sheriff would be here to escort us off the property. We have no family and no one to ask for help so in 7 days when the sheriff comes we will probably be living in our car which is also on its last leg after handing our 1000.00's over. I'm not sure what the outcome of lying to us about being able to stop the eviction. Now I’m living in fear that my daughter will be taken from me because I will not be able to provide proper place for them to live. My fiancé and I are good people and never intended to have problems with our jobs and never expected to have problems paying our rent. Even though we are now completely in the right because we should have been able to pay our rent. These people MIKE THOMPSON AND CHRISINA POE FROM THE MIDLAND OHIO AREA are absolutely heartless and use lying and deception to get what they want. Shutting off utilities to evict tenants is illegal. There is a proper eviction process and no body is exempt from it. PLESE DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE IT WILL ONLY BRING PROBLEMS INTO YOUR LIFE. THANK FOR READING.
