"Reggie" Jones
I am a local, Disabled Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom that recently submitted an application for a rental property Mr. Jones ownes in Durham, NC. Throughout the process, communication with Reggie became very difficult, with him not returning phone calls or emails. While I was out of the state on business, I had my girlfriend whom would be living with me communicating with Reggie. He showed her the property and took the application for rental. At that time we both had inquired about a possible move-in date as we are expecting a baby very soon. Reggie stated that a repair needed to be made. After a week of me not being able to get return calls or emails from Reggie, I had my girlfriend contact him again. He explained to her that he was waiting on a Inspector to inspect the property before move-in and not to worry, that "we were on top of his list for possible renters". As the days followed, I continually emailed Reggie inquiring about the property and a move-in date, as our baby was now rapidly approaching. While waiting on a status update from Mr. Jones, we missed other housing opportunties where our application was accepted as well. Due to Mr. Jones' inability to communicate effectively, he has violated Durham's Equal Housing Opportunty for Disabled Veteran's. In addition, his ethics and morals are in question as he led myself and my girlfriend along to believe that we were waiting for a move-in date. To my surprise, I recently discovered that the house was being rented even during times of communication with Mr. Jones.
