Type of a scam Rental
Ismael Ashraf and Derrick Jackson are racketeering. There are numerous detailed claims online (scampulse, google reviews, etc.) of them taking advantage of unsuspecting individuals for multiple years now. I highly encourage law enforcement, legal agencies and state / local officials to organize on this.
We are military members who rented from Staying Infinite / Infinite Living in Southern California who were offering a home on behalf of a very sweet homeowner who previously moved for work. The initial discussions with Ismael were pleasant enough with the exception of repeated phonecalls, and while very aggressive with deposits, Staying Infinite / Infinite Living offered a relatively one-sided contract that we begrudgingly signed as we needed lodging ASAP for a period of time.
Immediately upon moving in, utilities started turning off, we started receiving collection notices, water turned off, internet turned off, collection agencies started banging on the door, notices were posted, etc. Ismael started providing excuses, yet continued to push us to place more colleagues in the home to increase the total rent. He repeatedly threatened to replace us if we did not. Eventually, the neighbors came over and knocked on the door to ask if we were renting the home legitimately - turns out, Staying Infinite / Infinite Living never paid the homeowners and cut all forms of communication with them (essentially cutting the home owners out completely, who had no avenues to deal with the ongoing fraud). As a side note, we realized we were also being illegally watched and monitored - no mention of cameras were in our contract or discussions, yet we found them on the premises (when disabling them, they sent a runner to come out and fix them immediately).
We confronted Ismael Ashraf and Derrick Jackson who became increasingly irate and started threatening us with legal and civil action should we not move out (to be replaced by new tenants who were already arranged for). Eventually, the homeowners got in touch with us, we shared our respective experiences, and we allowed them to change the locks after substantiating their claims to ownership. Unsurprisingly, the old locks were alarmed and when removed notified Derrick Jackson who showed up minutes after the locksmith started work. Derrick immediately started threatening us. Derrick additionally threatened the locksmith which resulted in his departure and us being sitting ducks within a home with no locks and all our possessions inside. Police were called. The police informed us that, while his activity was undoubtedly criminal (we easily substantiated that his organization was fraudulent), it would take a court judgement to arrest and remove him from the property. Derrick allowed the locksmith to return per police demand, and when the police and locksmith left, called another locksmith and parked outside the home for the remainder of the evening in a move to harass, waiting for one of us to enter / exit to force change the locks. When none of us entered / exited, Derrick called the police back to demand they let him change the locks. This backfired, and the police eventually told him that without consent of us, the tenants, and the homeowner, he had no move. My favorite part of this evening was watching him yell helplessly at the police outside. He then called in other people and camped in front of our home for the remainder of the evening in another move to harass and deny entry / exit to the home. As a side note, Derrick cited the civil code on evictions and ownership to the letter, not realizing it showed his experience in this realm, though the police said his understanding of the law was deeply flawed and incorrectly premised.
This horrible company could have set the homeowners back upwards of $15,000 or more in legal fees, lost rent, back taxes and utilities (the back payment on the electric bill was in the thousands). I cannot say enough horrible, horrible things about them. I look forward to supporting any legal action against this organization and offer my full cooperation for any parties pursuing them. We furnished upwards of $24,000 for this fraudulent property manager.
