Read MoreI held off on writing this review for more than 4 years to see if the relentless nickel-and-diming and half-baked fixes to serious safety issues were a regular occurrence among landlords in CA and by seeing what followed me into post-graduation tenant life. Well, the renting experience I had in college is not at all the norm, and Ed Attala, or “the slum lord” as his friends legitimately call him, is not anyone you should support with your business be it legal counsel or tenancy.
Not only did he structure his leases in a way that allowed him to extract as much money from his tenants as possible, but over the four years I spent living in an Attala property, he regularly kicked my entire house out for a week, making us move everything outside or off property, routinely ignored needed repairs, placed blame on our tenancy for problems that could not possibly have arisen due to our actions, ignored proper safety code, and called to verbally berate me when I dared to place the words “safety concern” in the subject line of an email. Don’t trust Ed to read your emails, legal documents, or texts, as my former housemate’s parent who is also an attorney actually signed an amended version of the lease to remove their child and them from financial obligations that could exceed $80k and he never noticed. Still, we’ve never received an appropriately itemized list for deductions from a security deposit and a foundation issue with the house I used to live in has been “fixed” by scabbing on a 4x4 to the exterior surface.
This is a man who prays on the unknowing and profits on the shortage of housing in San Luis Obispo, fleecing college students and clients for more money than they could possibly imagine they signed up to give.
