Coleridge Properties

Beware of Elizabeth «Betsey» Sawyer Gaylin founder of Coleridge Properties, LLC
My husband and I found her listing on Craigslist, she immediately made snap judgements about us both. Made comments about how young I looked and how she wasn’t sure we could afford her property. She had a small townhouse available for rent, and she soon found out we could very well afford it. For close to three weeks this woman was intolerable. She is incredibly rude, and demanding. After all her numerous requests and snap judgement comments we complied with everything. It’s almost like she was waiting to get back our credit reports and hoping for them to be bad, or our tax returns weren’t good and even probably secretly hoping our references would be bad. Once we checked out on everything and we were prepared to sign her lease which she later told us was non-​negotiable, we couldn’t look it over with a lawyer or even overnight, insisting it’s a standard Bloomberg lease and there was no need for us to read it over. For almost three weeks she made us think and assured us the place was ours, we have packed almost half of our belongings and ready to move out on 9/​1, however it turns out she had different plans. She had re-​posted the listing 4 days before all this occurred and even added additional images. She simply never had plans to give us the place. Additionally, she told us we HAD to pay for the last week in August after we had discussed a ⁹⁄₁ move-​in date, not read her lease, pay her thousands of dollars on the spot, giving us notice of only a few hours and if we didn’t do as she so rudely DEMANDED, she would give the place to someone else. She demanded the $ 50 for our credit report be delivered to her in person in cash. She is completely insane and unethical. What an unprofessional person who basically made us think we had a place to move to, we had even stopped looking for places because she assured us we had that one. In short, she made it impossible for us to take her place. It’s almost like she never wanted us there. She made us feel like we weren’t good enough for her small two bedroom town house. BEWARE of this woman. She will not hesitate to string you along and dump you if she decides you’re not good enough for her property. She even bragged to my husband about how she had evicted her last tenant. So even if you make it through her irrational and vigorously unnecessary screening process, she will probably kick you out on your ass without warning because her lease will say she can and you weren’t able to read it or change it, if need-​be, in the first place. BE WARNED.
