Years ago, I was renting a house and using a realtor/rental agency that also sold residential homes. I mentioned to the owner that I was looking to buy in the upcoming months and she eagerly said, I will find you a house. Every time I called or dropped off the rent, I would ask her how the search was coming and she would always say, Oh, I really need to get on that, etc, etc. hey no big deal if she was busy. I met another realtor who found me a house that I wanted and I bought it and I went to her office to drop off the last rent check and also to give notice and she got all pissy about why I had not bought a house from her ( it has been 3-4 months) and she refused to give me my security deposit back even though the house was in near perfect condition--she made up some other excuse for not refunding it. It was only 250 or so, but as was said, earlier, it is the principle of the thing. I looked up all of her rental/for sale listings and found properties that were as far away as possible from her office, some were like 75 miles away and I would call and tell them that I liked such and so property and that I was very anxious to do business--I would make appointments with them at odd hours, weekends, early in the am, late a night,,etc, and of course would never show up. I had friends of mine call and do the same thing and I had the 3 agents in the office running ragged, we would call and they would say, "are you sure your going to be there" and we would say yes, and that we would bring a cashiers check, etc, etc. Then I would steal the companies for sale or for rent signs from their properties and in the middle of the night would put them on the lawns of wealthy people in the city.
I called her about two weeks into this campaign and she wearily answered the phone, I said, this is Keith W.......have you had enough?.....she paused and I said, I expect a full refund check in the mail within the next 4 days....and it came like the next day
