Update by user Jun 18, 2013 Wow! Again??? This guy Michael is an inactive lawyer with the bar. I no longer wonder why, look it up yourself, he's been inactive since 12-27-01 Michael Joseph. Though he's inactive, and I wonder why? He should know the law. The case in Superior Court on June 7th 2013 was "THEIR" appeal to the case I filed against them and WON. DeMiranda appealed it as "appellant". This means DeMiranda would be able to introduce new evidence and tell their side of the story; to be heard again. This is what happened: Since I originally sued them and won the judgment, when parties were before the Appeals judge, me as PLAINTIFF and DeMiranda as defendant/appellant...this guy Michael Tramontin his brother Nick Tamontin and a Mr Fitzgerald, I was asked to speak first. Side note, the Appeals judge spoke for 25 minutes about not coming into his court room with BS and tons of documents. He suggested to the court to go outside to show each other’s evidence and try to resolve. The three made no effort and snubbed my evidence. Theirs was an attempt to get out of the case, but reading through.. their own evidence destroyed their own case! Their own evidence admits they were responsible. So back to the case, I speak first..."I contended that DiMirand knew or should have known the rental unit shld have never been rented to me or anyone since the condition of the unit violated "Bldg and Safety" rules of law and Tenants rights that entitles tenants "Quiet and Peaceful Enjoyment" which I never had from day one and evidence to prove all of my allegations. The judge took hold of my exhibit B the entire case. The Appeals judge questioned the three "Did you comply to the "Notice of Violation" by Bldg and Safety? They could produce NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE to the fact. The judge kept asking and they looked like the 3 stooges, papers everywhere and bumbling. It was sad really, pitiful. The judge asked me how long I lived in the unit, I said 3 months, did they ever fix the plumbing? No, the knock in the wall? No...Asking DiMiranda again, what were their findings regarding the plumbing? No evidence, they just kept telling the judge they sent a plumber out or that the HOA president was dragging his feet. (The HOA was not responsible as it was not a bldg. issue it was the issue of the owner of the unit I rented who DiMiranda represented contractually). The judge after about 15 minutes of questioning Di Miranda guys about proof of compliance stated, "I've heard enough" and returned my Exhibit B. The Appeals judge never heard DiMiranda appeal!!! The judge saw thru their BS, which the Appeals judge told the court "don't come in here with it" So this was their appeals case, not mine, I didn't loose DiMiranda lost in the appeal...if they would read the order from the court it says, "DEFENDANT/APPELLANT RECEIVES NOTHING" I'm the PLAINTIFF!!! I WON THE FIRST CASE AND IT STANDS... DiMiranda must pay me plus court cost!!! I see why Michael doesn't practice law, he doesn't understand it. Nowhere in the order from the Appeals Court heard June 7th 2013 does it say Plaintiff takes nothing, because I didn't appeal my own win!! Wow you guys are a sad case! Quoting scripture won't change anything and it's a shame you'd stoop to that level and continue to LIE to the public. Churches are full of devils and you can't possibly believe in a God of a Higher Order or you wouldn't continue to lie. You've lied on me, you've lied on Sally at the State Attys Generals Office, you lied on Patrick the HOA president, and now you've lied on the Appeals Judge! How low will you go? I'm going to copy certain documents on Instagram including both court decisions my original win and their take nothing in the appeal and put this madness to rest. if you would like to see the truth check out mamatebo...on instagram...in a couple days.. What even baffling to me is that there are several others; property owners, renters, I even found an ex-employee that confirms my opinion of DiMiranda...they lie, and are crooks..I did this warning as a heads up to the public because I don't want anyone to go through what I had gone through. This is why any of us have complained about this company and its representatives. As you can see, the owner Michael has nothing better to do than to make attempts at defaming me. If he would spend half of the time it takes him to perpetuate his lies on taking care of tenants and property owner needs, he might have a company people would seek out. But all this bad press is all he and his cohorts will ever have. Update by user May 25, 2013 Wow how far will these guys go?? They straight lie about their tenants. I have proof of all I've said in my posting and they turn around and lie here because they don't want the public to know the truth. I did sue, I won in small claims court. Yes they appealed and in June 2013 they will go lie in court again. The judge saw through them before and will again. I was told by 3 lawyers my case was legit and that I should sue them. They can make up lies all they want, but the truth is the truth. The city did not "advise" them on anything they can't because it is outside of their jurisdiction to decide anything they were simply mediators to obtain remedy which DMM did not wish to cooperate with, I was told by the woman at the City Atty Gen office that I "might have to seek legal remedy since DMM was unwilling to resolve" It's disgusting how he will lie on the woman doing her job at the Atty Gen office.... I never asked to stay in that place 90 additional days I had lived there almost 4 months without sleep due to the noise in the wall...all their workers heard it, though they may lie to keep their jobs. I have proofs of the noise level, and the gentleman from Health and Safety heard it, the plumbers heard it, my guests heard it... The carpet he talks about, had cat urine in it because that is where the previous tenants cats went and it was so fowl and filthy there was no living with it. The worker who finally removed the carpet became nauseated taking it up. The dishwasher did not crush my foot, the door was broken when we viewed the apt, I told Edgar the agent that it could crush "someone's" foot if not fixed because the door dropped to the floor, it was old...Edgar stated a new dishwasher would be installed before we moved in... This is why DMM should be avoided because this is how they lie... This is defamation of character...I am not a *** artist!!! How dare he, my daughter and I went through *** with De Miranda to the point where I suggested to the owner of the property to seek another management company as she too was being used. I'm certain Mr. Tramotin didn't think I'd ever look back at this site...well surprise surprise, guess I'll see DMM in court again. They lost and now their trying to appeal because they told the owner I don't know what and she's out of money having to travel back and forth over the lies they've told. So as you said DMM, God is your judge...so the first judgment wasn't enough when you LOST in court! testing God again??...and He doesn't like liars :sigh It's funny Mr. Tramontin, comes here to trash me, but the only things we read are complaints of DeMiranda Property Mngt....And you call me a *** artist???? Shame on you Mr. Tramontin Fix your company. I'm bringing your comment to court!! Original review posted by user Jan 18, 2012 I have never in my life experienced a company like this, STAY AWAY!!!! De Miranda Property Mangement in Gardena Calif., is the most HORRIBLE property management company ever and are the worst SHYSTERS and WILL rip you off!! My experience with them for the last 3 months after moving into one of their properties on 11-11-11 has been ***, and I've had enough!! They are a law breakers, fraudulent, incompetent and an unethical group. I have since the day I moved in reported serious plumbing issues and a disturbing and annoying clanking in the wall outside the bedrooms, which wakes us up at all hours. Among a list of over 27 other problems, they never addressed these issues with any professional or repair. I called the emergency number and no one answers, it a recording and they may or may not call back. I've emailed, faxed and text the many problems and law breaking problems to them and the guy Edgar who was the agent who rented us the place just stopped calling back! Calling their main number is the same, it goes straight to voicemail. When they finally did respond they would send workers who spoke little English so there was a breakdown in communication most of the time. They were not professional workers and very often didn't have proper tools or equipment to do the job and would have to reschedule and disrupt my work and schedule 3 -4 times for the same problem. The toilet would clog 3-4 times a week and still does!! There was exposed wire I had to tell them about, leaks I had to tell them about, extremely foul cat urine in the carpet that became foul after they had only sanitized it to get someone to move in. After 3 1/2 weeks they sent a man to re-sanitize which lasted less than 2 hours!!! I had to be put off 5 weeks before they finally removed the carpet! I'm allergic to cats and was ill with it. After removing it, the service workers left carpet nails in the floors!! It took 3 more workers to come out 3 different times to remove most of them!! Still the clanking and toilets were never fixed!! This list goes on with all kinds of other problems that exist. I am done and finally I contacted lawyer and am filing a law suit!! Mr. Tony Fitzgerald or Greco, as I don't believe anything they say and he's a known liar and might be an attorney who should be DISBARRED, to me, he is an evil man!!! I even went to the City Atty Generals office to try to get resolution. The law says I'm entitled to "Quite enjoyment" and "working plumbing", it's 1-18-12 and I have had neither since I've moved in!!! Do you think they would offer at the very least an apology? A BIG FAT NO!!!! Run as fast as you can away from De Miranda Property Management!! I am out of my lease as they had no choice but to release me since my rights to Quite Enjoyment and working plumbing continues to be violated, and the promise of my deposit, get this, if I sweep the place!!! Another slap in my face, this operation should be SHUT DOWN!!! Check the internet about this company there are others with the same kind of complaints!!! Shame of you De Miranda!!!! What will you say on JUDGEMENT DAY????
