Short Version: Delroy Bodley was the landlords' broker for an apartment we rented.  We paid Delroy…read moreBodley $5,000 in exchange for getting a 12-month lease for the apartment. One month in, we learned that the "landlords" Delroy represented did not have the legal authority to rent us our apartment and that our lease was never valid. Delroy insisted he did his job of finding us a place to live, declined a refund, and washed his hands of the situation.  Indeed, Delroy never even apologized.  We moved after only a few months. Longer Explanation: Delroy Bodley was the landlords' broker for an apartment we rented in August 2021. Delroy posted the apartment on StreetEasy.  Delroy was hired by the "landlords," whom he said he worked with for many years.  We paid him $5,000 as part of the rental transaction where we were supposed to get a 12-month lease. We had difficulties with this rental from the start -- it was not cleaned, painted, or repaired as promised and there were paint cans and construction debris everywhere the day we moved in. One month into our rental, we received a letter from the Office of the Public Administrator for Kings County informing us that the people who rented us the apartment (the people Delroy represented) did not have the legal authority to rent the apartment, and as a result, our "lease" was invalid.  The Public Administrator informed us that we were defrauded into signing a lease. They also said that we would have to live in the apartment as month-to-month tenants, not with a 12-month lease which we agreed to, and for which we paid Delroy $5,000. The building was in actuality under the legal control of, and managed by, the Public Administrator, which meant that it could be sold at any moment. We ended up having to deal with NYC government bureaucracy when addressing any small detail related to the apartment which the landlord typically addresses.  That is most assuredly not what we signed up for when we rented the apartment and paid Delroy.  While staying in the apartment, we received regular notices from utilities companies that the bills for the common areas of the building were not paid, and that the power and heat would be shut off. On several occasions there was no heat. We reached out to Delroy to inform him of the developments and request a refund of his fee given that we never actually had a valid lease. When we spoke to Delroy, we were struck by how dismissive he was about the situation which he played a part in bringing about.  He brokered the deal.  Yet Delroy did not seem to care, declined a refund, and failed to offer any other assistance. He said that he did his job of getting us a place to live, despite the fact that all he got us was an invalid lease. He never even apologized for the situation.  Instead, he said that only if we got evicted would he give us our money back.  Due to this ordeal, we had to hire a lawyer to clarify our rights to the apartment (we had none) and move again a few months later due to the untenable living situation. Overall this experience was extremely stressful, disappointing, and expensive, and we hope to prevent others from experiencing anything similar by working with Delroy.

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me.
