I have managed your apartment in the karagözler more than one year and you or other owners did not have any problems about my services! Apartment had been cleaned before guests arrived, transfers had been done on time!!!
Beginning of the summer season I met with two other owners in the apartment and told them politely I had health problems and I was not sure to go on managing your property. They said ok and they understood me.
Ok Engin, you were supposed to check the apartment every fortnight over the winter - how many times did you do it? Not often I can tell you else there wouldn't have been the build up of pine needles on the rear terrace. The consequence of that is that the drains eventually blocked, the terrace flooded and the water flowed down and damaged the downstairs neighbours property. Same with the small leak in the roof - it should have beem picked up and repaired immediately.
Regular inspections, which you were contracted to do - and paid in advance for - would have prevented at least one of these becoming an issue. In fact I was there when you were hired and the issue of the pine needles was mentioned and you said you understood. Obviously not.
Maybe you could explain exactly what you did for your maintenance fee, other than arrange a couple of transfers and organise a cleaner?
You lost out on transfer business because you didn't reply to emails - I'm aware of at least one occasion where emails regarding cleaning and transfers elicited no reply, I'm sure if I speak to the girls there are others.
When you were there in June it had already been decided (several months previously) that you were being sacked from looking after the Karagozler apartment - neither Suze nor Sarah could be bothered getting into any dispute and put it down to experience.
On the basis that you didn't do as you were contracted to do, have you considered refunding the maintenance charge for last winter?
You paid only for karagozler apartment but I help you about your another house in paspatur. I did several works for your tenants and I did not tell to you any of these!!!
I helped your tenants about electric meter, aircon, hop & fire for free. I did not want them to cause you problem while you were away from Fethiye !!!
They left the house like a mess. This was the time when my health problems started about my back. And I have told you on the phone my health problem and you said to me you understood me.
I have several times stopped my work and went your house to opened the door and showed your house to potential buyers. I did these to help you. At the end one of your friend wanted to key and she still has the key.
"for free" - I have never asked you to do anything for free, far from it. I told you that any work you had to do at the Paspatur would be paid when either Suze or I were over. I did ask previously about transfering money over to you, but you refused as you only want cash.
We spoke on the 27th January and you agreed to do the exit for the tenants and carry out any work needed to put the property on the market. I told you that you would be paid when one of us was over in the spring and you were happy with that and said you'd send photographs of what needed done.
I chased you several times by email and SMS and by 29th June the work had still not been done. I actually spoke to you on the phone when you were up at the apartment in Karagozler and again you said "no problem, no problem". Well, it obviously was a problem because you still didn't do the work. I'd given Suze the money to pay you for the work on the Paspatur house, but as you hadn't done it, you didn't get it.
At no time did I give you permission to show that property to anyone. In fact you had no right to show to any prospective buyer before carrying out the work I'd asked you to do, almost six months previously. By doing so you effectively lost us at least one potential buyer.
The competition for the foreigners cash is fierce in the Fethiye area, and while you may have provided good service in the past, you certainly haven't recently.
Incidentally, I sent you an email detailing my concerns at the start of July to which I received no reply. I also seem to remember last year we went through the same rigmarole where you didn't get back to me about work we wanted done until I posted on here. Service as normal then...
