I met Anthony Lawson and trusted him and his fiancee Oxana Kovach via Craigslist. I felt sorry for Oxana because she was paying $150/week to live in the same room with 3 other men. I decided to give them a nice discount on an apartment I had moved out of – $75/week. I did not write up a contract or take a deposit. It was an act of faith and honestly my common-sense was saying “don’t do it” but I fought away the thoughts and let them have the keys to my empty place.
The first phase was wonderful – they did a marvelous job of cleaning
Then they lied about damaging the toilet
Now the truth of the matter came out. I tore my hair out harrassing management to hurry and fix this, only to find out that the toilet had been clogged due to them throwing a can in it … not because “it doesnt work” and “got clogged”:
Now they are not returning text messages
I’ve texted them separately and together and they are not returning messages.
Conclusions
Anthony Lawson runs a company called “The Squirrel Shop” … I cannot say that Anthony Lawson, Oxana Kovach, or Squirrel Shop LLC are entities that I would trust… and how odd, Oxana claims to have a spiritual background, yet she lies and then avoids paying for her damages.
The pot is calling the kettle black
I had no business sub-leasing my apartment, in the Nextdoor thread I opened on this subject, I learned that it is grounds for eviction.
