On July 11, 2009, I enlisted the services of Mr. Charles Steiner of Charles Steiner Realty to assist me in locating potential renters for a property I own in Las Vegas. A contract was signed and the understanding was that Mr. Steiner would receive 50% of 1 month's rent if he located a renter that I chose to put in the home. On September 9, 2009 Mr. Steiner contacted me to inform me that he had located potential renters. He stated that he had taken a rental application and would forward that application on to me. After several calls over the course of the month (me requesting the information Mr. Steiner had previously stated that he collected), Mr. Steiner contacted me on October 11, 2009 stating that he, again, would be forwarding the application. It was at this time, that he also stated that he had negotiated a lease with a family, that he had collected a deposit and first month's rent, and that the family had just moved in to the property. I communicated my displeasure with Mr. Steiner's actions as he had without my knowledge or consent negotiated a contract with people with whom I knew nothing about. On top of this, he had allowed these people to move into the home and had not forwarded any information about them to me. He also had not returned several of my telephone calls. Mr. Steiner apologized and stated that he would make an addendum to the lease that included my specific stipulations. He added that he would get the tenant to sign the addendum and forward all collected information and monies to me. Mr. Steiner never did forward anything. I made several telephone calls and with each one, he promised to send the information but never did. On 10/14/09, Mr. Steiner text messaged me the name and telephone number of the renter. It was on this date that I also reviewed the electricity bill for the property. Based on the huge increase in the bill, there was no way that the renters had just entered the property as Mr. Steiner had stated. I talked to the tenant on 10/15/09. She informed me that she, her father, and her children had been in the home since 9/06/09. She also shared a number of troubling statements about her interactions with Mr. Steiner. For example, he had apparently made promises and statements about what I would and would not allow in the property. I again called Mr. Steiner to seek clarification. He stated that he was not sure when the family moved into the home but that he would be forwarding the rental application, credit check he ran, the lease, and the deposits he collected. Mr. Steiner never did forward anything. On Saturday October, 24, 2009, I made a trip out to Las Vegas in an attempt to settle the matter. Mr. Steiner met with me and my mother and presented me with a rental application, a credit report ran on the individuals, a lease dated for 09/10/09 (keep in mind that the tenant indicated that she and her family have been in the house since 9/06/09), and a check in the amount of $2161.53 to be drawn from Mr. Steiner’s bank account. Mr. Steiner requested that I not deposit the check until Monday, however. I went to his bank on Saturday 10/24/09 to ascertain more information about the likelihood of me being able to obtain the money owed to me. It was at that time that I was informed that I would not be able to cash the check as the account had been closed. Mr. Steiner has engaged in a number of unethical and illegal behaviors. He is currently presenting himself as a property manager and realtor. However, he has allowed his licenses to engage in both activities expire. He also has not had a business license with the city of Las Vegas since March 2006. So, not only is Mr. Steiner practicing or attempting to engage in real estate related transactions without a valid license, he fraudulently negotiated a contract without my permission or knowledge, he collected monies without my consent or knowledge, he also spent said monies which in effect belonged to me based on the fact that the tenants now reside in my property. Mr. Steiner has engaged in both fraud and larceny and should not be allowed to continue to do so. While Mr. Steiner's licenses were active when I enlisted his services, he allowed them to lapse on 9/30/09. His cell phone number is [protected] just in case he does not answer the business number I provided above.
