We recently had a fallen fence at a rental property we manage. The neighbor, who lives in their house, got involved and said he too wanted a new fence.
We had a reasonable bid and the owner said he was looking at it and he wanted screws put into the fence instead of nails.
Our maintenance staff interpreted the message to mean that he had approved the bid and we ordered the fence installed. The owner was even present at the time of installation and made sure his plants were safe.
But, when it came time to pay, he refused saying it was too expensive and since he did not approve it, he preferred to have the old fence put back in place!
That not being possible, we sued him in small claims court for his share, $750 plus court costs. Today we found out that we won the case.
One small victory for HomePointe, one giant leap for reasonable court decisions!
