The Wooten Company

My wife and I had to move from our old place, as we were driving we saw a sign that said rental office, managed by The Wooten Company to cut it short we were deceived from the beginning, by price and the repairs they promised to make after we moved in, and location due to them stalling. When we told them about the repairs that needed to be done they would get a new property manager, they did fix a couple of things finally after 4 months, we decided to take action, I got a hold of different city officials, attorneys, attorney general, and all the people you could possibly talk to, to get the problems solved. The peeling paint on the ceiling of the garage, and inside started falling. I decided to get a test kit and to see if it was lead and sure enough it was. We called the city, they came out and inspected and found a little health code violations. Then a few days later we received a letter stating they had 9 days to comply, so we decided to call an attorney and ask for some advice, he said it wouldn't be advisable to stay there while they were making repairs then later on that day they called and made an appointment to check out what was wrong. They looked at the things and the one guy was angry and making comments, but as they were walking out I mentioned the bow in the floor, he stated it wasn't in his report. So then I got suspicious about the whole thing that was going on. Then the next day she called and stated that since we couldn't be there while they were making repairs, she stated that basically we had a choice either move out by the 31st of March and if we moved out by the end of Feb. they would give us are restoration fee back, and we wouldn't have to pay rent for the month of March we were shocked, because we did everything it said in the lease where they didn't at all. So they are the ones who violated it, but the city or state officials, won't make them abide by the law. So no matter what you read in landlord tenant laws for Missouri it doesn't apply to Springfield. Beware. This will probably be my last post because they will silence me some way since they are so big.
