Tamar’s Story

Tamar moved with her partner from Colorado to California to pursue new careers. They rented a nice place in Santa Rosa. After some time, her partner went in  a different direction and Tamar did not have the financial resources to remain at the rental. Tamar had to downsize and move to a lower cost rental.

The old place was weed free when they started renting it and the property manager expected it to be weed free upon the end of their lease. Her partner left the entire gardening chore to Tamar. Prior to moving out, Tamar worked her fingers to the bone to get the yard back to an an acceptable level. After Tamar has already settled in her new rental, the old property manager informed Tamar that the landscape was not acceptable and must be corrected within a few days. That is when Tamar contacted DK Landscaping.

Tamar was stressed out over her move from Colorado, a new career, her partner going in a different direction, moving out of the old place, moving in to the new place, and the pressure from the old property manager as well as, financial constraints — the landlord will not return her deposit.

After hearing Tamar’s story from her sister in-law, Misty, DK Landscaping decided to perform the job as a community service event. We cleaned up the rental to satisfy the landlord so that Tamar’s security deposit would be refunded.
