eff Jones attempted to rent 2901 W Davies Ave Littleton, CO 80120 to us (which is a house he is selling for Brokers Guild- he did disclose to us the house was for sale but we needed a very short term lease so we were ok with that). We gave him money orders for 1st month's rent and the deposit, signed a lease, and moved some stuff in. He then later changed the locks on us and wouldn't allow us in despite holding our $3000 and our stuff. He illegally entered our property without 24 hour notice, illegally changed the locks, and only under threat of police did he agree to let me have my own stuff back. He claimed he was unable to cash the money order which you can do at any King Soopers or bank. The only reason you cannot do that however is if there is a problem with the ID (the money order was paid for by cash and obviously acts as cash but with a paper trail)- we did of course call Western Union to confirm they were still valid, something he easily could have done. He also was angry we wrote them to his name, but that was the only name we were given; he did not ask us to leave it blank or write it to an alternate name.He did not even tell us that he was having an issue with these money orders until he locked us out illegally, so there was no way we could have corrected his problem. This was also days after we had given him the money orders so why there was no communication to us is anyone's guess. He claimed they needed 48 hours to clear (again, not accurate by any means). I have no idea why any this would have occurred unless he was illegally renting the place or had some other suspicious activity going on. Just wanted to let everyone know in case they were looking to rent or even buy from him. If we had that issue I can only imagine the headache buying a house from this person would cause. I would give zero stars if I could. Jeff, you miserable excuse for a POS, I have reported you to DORA.
