He's great landlord and also seems ok at hand work. Not very kind to woman so would avoid if single female. Also be careful he is known to enter your apartment unannounced and/or without permission. Will break every rule but try to make you out as a rule breaker. Also I found a nanny cam in my bathroom. read more

John was my landlord ar the beginning the pandemic.Jan 2020, + divc. I had lost my mother, & my job, & without any hesitation he filed for eviction even though there was a moratorium in effect. The federal moratorium stipulated. You cannot evict anyone from your property running from you by federal law until certain such and such a date and then he could proceed with eviction through the district magistrate. I was four months behind on my rent when he filed for eviction. He came over unannounced all of the time. He would bring people to show the house with no phone calls..just txt message because he's deaf and can't hear anything people feel sorry for him. But he just popped in whenever he wants and he complains about how you live there if you didn't do your dishes he'll complain about it. When he has no business Coming over whenever he feels like it unannounced. Everybody feels bad for him when he takes you to court or confront you with an eviction notice or what have you because he's Jeff. Despite the fact that he's on welfare and owns all of the rental properties that he owns he's manipulating the welfare system to be able to do so because of his one physical disability. Without an attorney because I could not afford one, the judge was on his side automatically and The Judgment was probably already in before I even walked into the door. This is what Harrisburg is like first of all. Aside from coming over and bringing people over to show the house to or the rooms that he rented from this one location on North 2nd Street that are showing in the pictures that are online under his web page out there for everyone to see. the 2517 North 2nd Street property that he owns anybody could walk in at any time without any warning at all whatsoever so there's no privacy he tried to revamp and renege the entire lease a week or so into the lease after moving in Because one more person came in some of the bills went up for him that he had included into the rent. Which is going to happen when you have one more person come into the property. But he didn't care. At the present moment I have 90 days to come up with his rent money which is $2,500. I don't have a problem with paying him but the sheriff's department gave me 90 days or they're going to come in and seize and liquidate all of my assets to which is really nothing. I was working at a truck stop and living there for that matter when does pandemic came down and everyone started losing business and closing because the truck parking lots were completely empty. That's how I lost my job. This happens shortly after moving in to John's property. At this moment also he is holding my mail which is a federal offense, for ransom. I have already contacted thePostmaster General and the federal courthouse and they are going to be investigating John Swope for welfare fraud & for mail theft. I seen his work and it's lousy. While I was living near the washing machine broke and he accused us of breaking it. The problem with the washing machine was the switch that's a little plastic Peg would come down to activate the power to the washing machine once you close the lid. He didn't know how to fix that but he's a handyman. This was a very easy fix that he could have probably fixed himself as a quote-unquote handyman. Was only half a day's notice he showed up And met the person that was coming over to replace the washing machine. The bottom line is, all he cares about is his money is welfare fraud and holding people's mail which is a federal offense until he gets his rent money. Despite the fact that he already took me to court for a judgment he still holding my mail and I'm filing charges on him then. He has no empathy, or remorse, and he will text you while you're at work or otherwise until you lose your mind and snap out on him. Via text messaging that is. Now I understand that and I owe him into his rent money. And I want him to have it because it is his money owed to him by me. But he was not willing to work with me at all whatsoever. Not before court not after court not otherwise at all whatsoever. read more

I basically walked around my house with John and pointed out what I thought needed done. It was one of those situation where you know the person you hired is going to have your best interest in mind. I am very happy about the work that was done; and in the reasonable, efficient, and economic fashion in which John goes about his business. read more
