When i first moved into Anthony's place everything was fine, but as he gets more comfortable with you he'll show his true colors. The room shares a wall with his and they are very very thin, you'll notice this immediately when you hear his TV pounding on the wall at 3am when you're trying to sleep. On the website it shows picture of a bathroom but that bathroom isn't yours its his, he neglects to show of a picture of the bathroom that you'll be sharing. Staying on the topic of the bathroom, he also has a small dog and you leave that bathroom door open the dog will go pee in there almost every time, Anthony also has a habit of opening the door to let it "air out" and then doesn't shut it which leads to his dog peeing on the floor. One time me and our other roommate had a meeting with him and he told us that he didn't open the bathroom door when he was the only other person home and jokingly mentioned that his dog could've jumped and opened it, don't let him gaslight you into believing that you left it open. Anthony also works from home so he basically home all the time so you'll be seeing him a lot even when you don't want to.

One thing you'll notice as living there is how he wakes up, he had a very very loud alarm that goes off every morning because he's a heavy sleeper. Do not underestimate how loud it is and how annoying it is when you work second shift and you're trying to sleep because this dude can't find another way to wake up in the morning. One time while living there he went away for the weekend and forgot to turn off his alarm off, it went off for an 1hr and 15min before turning itself off. He won't let you go into his room because he locks it, i think he purposely does this because he honestly doesn't care what you think or do because you live in his place.

On the point of who owns the place, Anthony will tell you that he owns it, which he does not own it, hes just a tenant just like you or the other person that lives there. The person that owns it is BABAJAN PROPERTIES LLC and thats literally just a person that formed an LLC because he owns Unit B3 and the one above it. On my lease that i signed Anthony stated that he owns it and told me numerous times that he owns the property when in reality he does not.

The moment that i moved into that room the only window in said room leaked profusely from the rain, and it took the entire time i was living there to get it "fixed". It would leak from the top of the window all the way down underneath the paint where you could see water bubbles, the amount of towels i had to put on the windowsill was enough to get them soaked. They did do repairs to where it did stop leaking but i feel those repairs are a temporary fix, they didn't take out the old wet wood (which most likely has mold on it) and do proper repairs they just put a bandaid on it.

Just to keep this review short do not rent a room with this guy, he a terrible person and doesn't care about anyone but himself.

Paid the $5 to verify myself for purposes of renting out an empty room in our house. There's no reliable processes for screening a tenant other than DIY verification of their documents, income, criminal record, credit or lack thereof, etc. The website does not assist with this in any meaningful way.

We ended up renting an empty room w closet to a local 20 yr old female who agreed to pay $500/m, follow house rules, etc. said she had a small dog that was quiet, didn't chew stuff, etc. was clean. ALL LIES. First day in weird mutt had mange, a foul gland odor problem, chewed up my wife's $100 ear buds and then screamed like a human baby being tortured whenever her owner was gone. Neighbors nextdoor called animal control on us because of her. Eventually she was forced to send the mutt away cause she couldn't even afford shots at the vet due being terminated from her job (security breach, theft?) 3 days after moving in. More follows...

While she was unemployed me and wife fed her out of our pantry, helped her get a free bed, even got her a new job, and then not only did she never finished paying for the 1st month in full but simply refused to pay anything else going forward into the 2nd month up to the time she left. She kept testing our limits by bringing different men up to the house to drink alcohol (underage) and smoke weed, tried to have parties on our driveway, etc. all in breach of lease up to the point she suddenly left overnight with $550 in unpaid dues for allotted dwelling time on the very last day she was supposed to pay or else. We had already given her 3 weeks grace period and she wanted us to wait a whole other month while she already displayed a willful intent not to pay. Later we found out that this girl had mentally convinced herself that our other roommate (who has nothing to do with her, financially) already 'paid me' enough money and that basically I didn't 'deserve a $1000/m from the both of them combined' and that furthermore she 'deserved' to stay here for free cause she had 'befriended' or socially engineered my wife and the other roommate into somehow weaseling herself into that position... all this literally true in her mind as asinine and ridiculous as it sounds.

The day that girl came back to pick up the rest of her stuff (kept the room filthy, stuff like stale food and used menstrual pads just shoved underneath her bed found when we cleaned it out) my wife and our other roommate were ready to put hands on her. I'm just glad she's gone for good and won't further damage our household. Our only recourse was to submit her debt to collections cause otherwise it's not even worth our time trying to take her to small claims court.

Lesson learned. I may never use roomies again. It's literally a place (other than Craigslist) for the lowest tier of renters who probably wouldn't qualify to rent a week to week trailer on their own, let alone an apartment nor a house, so they're there looking for someone naive enough to let them in so they can ruin them.

The roomies app need to check on these rentals as i know vivians room hacienda heihts ca ******* is in litigation she is not the owner of home BEWARE!
