Doug Sanford, Omaha, Nebraska, Jim Sanford

Doug Sanford and his Father Jim Sanford should repent and pay what he and his fancy lawyer, probably one of the judge’s sons, took from me by what I can only call deceit and fraud.

See Picture of Doug > https://www.facebook.com/doug.sanford.75/photos

I hire a church friend named Doug Sanford, Omaha, Nebraska.

Paid him by the hour, at $8.00, for unsupervised general labor on my rental properties.

He worked at 1/2 speed so 1/2 pay was acceptable to him.

Rented to him for $300.00 per month all utilities paid.

Doug got behind on rent in the amount of $3,600.00.  Promising he would pay me eventually.  Each week Doug and I sat before the computer spread-sheet and made sure the billings and hours for rent and labor were correct.

Doug then rented a house from me for $250.00 per month, he paid his own utilities.

Doug and I had an agreement that he could work on the $250.00 house and keep track of the hours so that they would cancel out the rent owed me on that same house alone.

Doug put in new cabinets, assuring me that I was not being charged but that it was going to the rent he owed me for 16 months of rent at $250.00.

One day I get a bill for a $298.00 nail gun that Doug charged to my account, I was angry, he promised to pay me, Doug never had permission to purchase tools in my account.

Doug moves out with out even telling me, no letter, refusing my phone calls.

One year later I get a bill from his father for the cabinets, his father claimed I personally told him to put in the cabinets and that we agreed on a price.  I never talked to him about ever paying any $1,790.00 for any cabinets, we did talk about his son putting them in for owing me on back rent, he was systematically lying.

Two and a half years latter I get a labor bill from Doug at $31.00 per hour for work he claimed I did not pay him for, mostly for work he claimed on the $250.00 rent house.

Much of the work was associated to a new floor in the kitchen and bathroom, now this is where it really gets weird.  Doug put ½ drywall as the sub flooring, with 1/16 cheep tile glued on top of it in the bathroom and the kitchen. Oh what a mess, it just fell apart soon after he moved out, just crumbled to nothing.  Also he put in pluming that did not even come close to being compliant to code.  SEE the court response I put in below.

I am writing this because Doug took me to Court, and the judges gave him and his father the award, and the judge added that I do not get my rent because I never demanded it from Doug, even though I testified that Doug was shown every week what he was to pay me, and it was understood that certain work was going for it.

Doug took me for more than $5,000.00, his Dad stole $1,790.00.

Doug did not pay me for back rent, took the nail gun, and then charged me exorbitant rates again for work done, that work was, if anything was to go to rent.

I strongly recommend that you not trust or do business with men like this.

7. [11] Sanford’s took it upon himself to remove, functioning existing plumbing, and install his own version of plumbing, as he was living in the 3202 Seward house, the work that was preformed on 3202 Seward, as with plumbing, is a catastrophe and needs to be removed and replaced under code at the estimated cost of $2,160.00.

See EXHIBIT “€”.  Hot water heater not code.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 13, par. 19.  Admits to doing the plumbing work.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 12, par. 14.  Admits he had no permission to do regulated repairs.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 3.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 1 and 2.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 14, par. 25.  Sanford admits to laying the floor down.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 12, par. 14.

See EXHIBIT “€”, page 12, par. 17.

1. Sanford therefore owes Hansen for the following:

1. 1548 N 19 Rents, Utilities, and miscellaneous expenses. — $3613.08.
2. 3202 Seward Rent.                                                                 — $4000.00

5. 3202 Seward removal and replacement of the bathroom floor.  — $ 428.00
6. 3202 Seward removal and replacement of the plumbing system. — $2160.00

1. Sanford only possible work done on 3202 Seward property that was beyond the normal activities of a tenant would be the flooring and the plumbing, to which, is work that needs to be removed and replacement in its entirety, at a greater cost than if the tenant would have not attempted to do the work himself apart from any aid of an professional or skilled individual.
2. Sanford charges to the Hansen for the above, plumbing and flooring, work is not justifiable for Sanford’s complete failure to perform code standard results, and even led to questionable fraud and deception.  [ pretense of a sub-floor, pretense of pluming venting ]
3. [15] No home sale agreement was ever created that comprised of offer, acceptance, consideration, nor is any evidence of such an agreement in writing.
4. The assessed value of 3202 Seward as of February 01, 2001 was $13,300.00.

See EXHIBIT “15”.  See EXHIBIT “€”.

1. Hansen made purchases for improvements to 3213 N 24.

See EXHIBIT “17” and “18” and “19”.

See EXHIBIT “23”, par.  Fox Hill Custom Cabinets alleged valued at $1,790.00.

Note – cabinets where not ordered by Hansen but by Sanford, Hansen explicitly said to Sanford; “The currant cabinets are fine any improved models are to be for your own enjoyment and the cost to be covered by you (Sanford).”

39. Due in part to Sanford’s poor workmanship the House is scheduled for demolition by the Omaha Planning Department.  See EXHIBIT “22”, page 2, par.3c, and page 10, page 13, page 22, page 30, page 31, Dated May 7, 2007  _________________
