re #3 & #5:  Five Skies built stairs not to code & without permit resulting in my injuries on 9/16.  Whether the pipes were installed by cash-job plumber to code, I don't know, but it was done without permit according to Lorelei Fuerher, Saratoga Building Inspector.  As Mr. Wotruba wrote "No permit = No inspection."

I don't know whether he replaced "all" the pipes or just some of the pipes.

5/10  Nick wrote the water " :...does not have any problems with color, odor, chemical or minerals.” Technically, iron is a metal on the Periodic Table of Elements.  He & Wood County refer only to the condition of the water IN the well. The "equipment" ((2)2 & (2) 3 above) between the well and the pumphouse  are the problem which is confirmed by Nick on 7/01:  "it may be necessary to replace the lines below ground..."  Wood County does not test water in housing units - just the well itself as confirmed by email from Kate Carlson, Wood County Health Dept.

You cannot shower in the well, dip a bucket into the well to get water to cook dinner, brush your teeth or wash your hair in the well. However, the pictures above and on Water clearly reflect that while the water in the well might be just fine & dandy, that is NOT the case with the water once it travels in the structural pipes from the well to the pumphouse and then in the pipes to the unit.  The Landlord is responsible for getting the wonderful well water into my unit without chunks of iron.  He knew that was a possibility/probability when the new lines (?) in the unit did not correct the proble.  He didn't want to do that.  On 7/01, he wrote:  "We will determine how best to approach that situation if the need arises but if that is the case we may have to terminate your lease because we would not continue to rent the unit until that issue is remedied and it may take a considerable amount of time to remedy."   63 days after I moved in, rather than make the repairs required by law, they would TERMINATE (MY) LEASE as they WOULD NOT CONTINE TO RENT THE UNIT UNTIL THE ISSUE IS REMEDIED...."  On 4/27 when I moved in, I learned that it is impossible to look at the toilet bowls & tanks, draw water from any tap and think there is NOT a problem with water IN the unit.   Nick knew about the unit's water as he confirmed in his email of 5/10:  "must be related to the pipes in the trailer itself and the new lines should remedy that."  "must be" "should remedy"  The new lines failed to remedy the problem despite Nick's "should remedy that."  Failing to provide the information known to them re the water IN the unit & their intention not to repair the situation to gain a rent paying tenant is fraud. They demanded FULL rent for August, September, October WITHOUT making the necessary repairs.  Delbert & Joey looked at the water on 7/16, said nothing & walked away.  No request for assessment, no request for appointment, no contact from them from 7/17 - 9/10  (56 days).   See water of 10/29 on left.  

Five Skies was informed eleven times of the repairs necessary:  5/10, 5/19, 5/20, 5/31, 6/17, 6/30;  7/16 & mid-June (in person: Joey &Delbert), 8/5, 9/6, and 9/11.   On 9/11, Joey declined the mug of water I offered him.  Joey  told me they were having "money problems."  Joey's 'temporary" remedy that would "hopefully hopefully help" is NOT a correction of the problem while also paying full rent for unusable windows & door.

NOTHING WAS DONE OR EVEN ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION THEY KNEW EXISTED BUT CHOSE NOT TO TELL ME.  Nick's 7/01 email proves unequivocally that they did not intend to correct but would choose to terminate my one year lease 63 days after I moved in, i.e., fraud.

■ “This is the first that I had heard that windows do not open…” & "I had forgotten about the Kitchen window issue…"

■  “The tub and door should have been looked at but hasn't yet due to some communication errors but will be shortly now that it has been added to the radar again.”    (Note:  Never happened.)

■   “If the water remains unimproved, it may be necessary to replace lines below ground. We will determine how best to approach that situation if the need arises but if that is the case, we may have to terminate your lease because we would not continue to rent the unit until that issue is remedied and it may take a considerable amount of time to remedy."  

                                                          77 days after signing one year lease & 63 days after move-in.

"FULL NORMAL USE" 

Drinking a glass of water, filling the cat's water bowl, cooking, brush teeth, wash hands

Taking a shower w/o fear of rust water pouring down as happened x3

Being able to open a door w/o slamming your body into it, turning the knob 100x, and being able to use a key to unlock it

Open & close windows in a unit with no air conditioning;  winter happens every year

Absence of vermin crawling in through gap under broken door & rain water running 17' into the unit

18 days of sewage on my lawn; 47 days w/o abiding by required DSPS cleaning method makes use of lawn impossible

"After the premises become untenantable," i.e., day one.  That's why my claim included return of all rent monies paid.  I abated the rent in accordance with what Nick called the "discount" previously agreed upon and this statute.  

Five Skies was notified eleven times:  in writing re repairs not done 5/10, 5/20, 6/30, 8/05, 9/06;  mid-June, 7/16, & 9/11 (in person),  & via plumber: 5/19, 5/31, 6/17.  Nick wrote 5/10 that he would forward the pictures & info to Delbert the maintenance manager/vehicle mechanic & "I will make sure that these are all addressed as soon as possible."   7/01 he wrote that he would share the info in my 6/30 email stating that the problems "indeed need to be addressed soon."  He also wrote in the same email they would terminate my lease 63 days after I moved in IF the underground lines had to be replaced as they wouldn't continue to rent the unit until the issue was corrected.  He should have thought of that before he rented it in April.  He wrote several times that the issues should be addressed "soon."

They did NOTHING to assess or repair anything from 7/17 to 9/10 - 56 days.  Five Skies demanded full rent for August – no repairs done since drilling one window open 7/16. No tests requested or done to assess water problem; no appointments requested to address other issues.  No contact whatsoever.

I paid full rent August 15 (receipt: 0 balance, no late fees).  In Sept, I paid rent adjusting for August in accordance with the previous agreement in emails, lease, & §704.07(4) as specified in my letter of 9/15.  Rent was due on the 15th of month per Joey's 07/06/16 email and my notice of 8/05 which also requested the date that repairs would be completed. I received no response to the request for repair completion date.

NOTE:

In the 9/28 Notice to Vacate, he wrote a sentence wholly unconnected to rent: 

           "It appears that you are unhappy with the manner in which my client manages its trailer park."

This sentence is important relative to Arendt's pretextual court filing for eviction 10/14 in which he claims that:

rent was not paid and in his reply to the DATCP he wrote that failure to pay rent was the "sole reason" for my

eviction.   Unpaid rent was the pretextual basis for both the 5 day notice & his false claim for my eviction filed

10/14.  

Arendt apparently has trouble with arithmetic & reading leases despite the expertise he claims. Joey is fully aware

that the due date for rent was changed to the 15th as evidenced by his receipt for August's rent. Joey signed the

five day notice.  Their incorrect calculation, if that's what it was, pads their notice with an additional $70.00.

Arendt was a participant in the bogus appointment of 9/20 claiming in his reply to the DATCP that the plumber had

a family emergency and was unable to attend.  Joey's email of 10:34 am says they are on site & talking with attorney Arendt.  7/03 Nick wrote that the cash-job plumber would "not return to the property."

Arendt was fully aware of the situation re water 9/20 via my letter of 9/03 to which he responded on 9/16.

My letter of 9/15 specifies abatement per Statute & previous agreement w/Five Skies.

Four documented facts when he filed the false claim for my eviction to support the Kedrowski's fraudulent rental of the unit and their subsequent disregard for virtually all Wisconsin §704, Uniform Dwelling Codes, Dep't of Health, & DSPS codes, and  failure to obtain required building permits:

1.  August rent was paid on 8/15 as agreed per Joey's email ; 

     Joey's receipt:  zero balance; 8/15, no late fees assessed.

     Joey offered the change of date & was fully aware of revised rent due date.

2.  Joey was fully aware that none of the repairs described in my initial email of 5/10

     had been completed. Apparently that was just fine with Arendt supposedly

     knowing the responsibilities of the landlord specified in Chapter 704 &

     specifically 704.07(4); having read my letter of 9/03; & participating in the bogus

     appointment of 9/20. He had received the documentation from the DATCP & the

     same documentation that I stuffed under his office door, he had time

     to withdraw and/or revise the S&C.  He chose to proceed with the false claim.

3.  Rent was paid on 9/15 when it was due with letter adjusting August's abatement

     in accordance with §704.07(4).

4.  Rent for October was not due until 10/15; Arendt filed claim for my eviction on

     10/14 claiming rent due on 1st and claiming late fee beginning on the 1st.  Joey

      knew that to be false but he signed his name swearing it to be true.

    

      Arendt  needs remedial tutoring in reading leases & computing late fees

      accurately but perhaps he thought that padding the Five Day Notice  with an

      extra $70  and the false claim for my eviction with an extra $215 was a good

      idea to benefit the scofflaw landlord.

My letter of 9/03 (excerpt) advised them I would file complaints with appropriate agencies & seek legal remedy after the deadline expired.  I contacted Building Inspector 9/24, stairs repaired 9/26, Vacate/Pay Notice 9/28.  I contacted Wood County Health Department 10/04; false claim for my eviction filed 10/14.
