Do not hire for property staging or furnishing.
I contracted Moe Mousa of Eden Interiors to furnish my Fort Lauderdale short-term rental property, paying $31,439.59 in full upfront on October 22, 2025. What followed was months of missed deadlines, damaged property, and documented dishonesty.
Broken deadline.
In writing, Mousa committed to completing the project "first week of Nov." The project was never completed. After more than two months with no delivery, I was forced to terminate the relationship in January 2026. He provided absolutely no value whatsoever.
Used and damaged furniture delivered as new. Mousa provided items he admitted in text messages were "rentals" and "leftover from the old staging set" -- not the new furniture contracted and paid for. Photographic documentation confirms damaged lamp shades, bent frames, corroded hardware, and visibly worn surfaces.
Property damage.
His crew caused damage to the oven, drywall, ceiling, and paint. An independent licensed electrician assessed the electrical work and found exposed live wires and a wall-mounted TV secured with only two screws -- not anchored to studs.
Unauthorized removal of personal property. Items belonging to me -- including nightstands, rugs, and tools -- were removed from the property without my knowledge or consent.
Threatening behavior. When my property manager documented and reported the issues, Mousa sent multiple threatening messages, including: "I would think twice before doing such act," "You are ruining for everyone including yourself," and "I need you out of my way forever."
After termination, I spent over 25K out of pocket replacing furniture myself and the property sat vacant for months, generating zero rental income during peak season.
All of the above is supported by text message admissions, photographic evidence, bank records, and communications documented in a formal legal file. read more
