I rented from Wu-Chi June aka Gary Wu for over a year at one of his homes in Redmond. Feb 2019 he asked us to extend our lease for a year.
This time he would rent the entire upstairs to us.
In order to do so he wanted 1st last sec. Deposit. We agreed to start the lease March 7 2019 In addition I spent 1.5 mos & several thousands of dollars to repaint and refinish the interior of the residence, replaced the fridge.

We helped him move basically his entire house. Several loads to the transfer station/dump. The furniture to his $2M+ pad in Kirkland.

I Knew something was UP when as soon as we finished Painting ,the inside of the House and moved our furniture in HE BEGAN taking pictures of the inside.

I said Don't be getting any ideas Gary. He smiled and said Don't worry about it, You're a good tenant. You have nothing to worry about.

The .8 acre Yard was overgrown with Blackberrys and about 5Tons of branches from trees he had removed several years back. The grass was waist high. The
property slopes on a hillside very unlevel ground. NOT Easy work.

I agreed to trade out work for rent and take care of the yard for a month, to get it dialed in. He agreed.

So I did the work.

I Hand cut the branches moved 5 tons + by hand and burned in a controlled fashion. Took me 20hrs I told him that I would only charge for 14. I cut back all of the Blackberries that had overgrown on the entire property, and disposed of them. Another 8 hours +
I had wounds for weeks

Since it was trade out for rent (1mo.) No money needed to eXchange hands.

I did such a great job he asked if I would consider a reduction in rent a few hundred bucks to maintain the lawn. I agreed if he would get a self propelled lawn mower. The one he had was manual and took 6hours to mow half of the property.
Mind you Almost and Acre of land by hand.

Gary agreed and asked me to just find one and send him a link. I found several and sent him the links.
He then asked if I would remove a large tree that was about to fall onto a shed. Unfortunately, the ground was saturated with water in April and his idea of using a chainsaw and a ladder wasn't the safest route on a Tree that was 30'+ tall 2.5' round and leaning.
I politely declined (not safe) and mentioned that I would help him get a competitive bid. He got upset.

Then Gary WU Started to backpedal on our previous agreement. The agreement to buy a self propelled lawn mower went away.

He then proceeded to tell me that he decided to have a yard maintenance company do the work and he would raise the rent to the original agreement.

Which honestly I was OK with.

Almost an Acre of grounds is a lot of work. Especially, without the necessary equipment.

May 2019 he confronted me, 2 mos into the additional 12 mo lease and said that he had a change of heart.
He asked me what it would take to move out.

I politely replied Gary we just did all of this work, moved my family in and spent several thousands to make it right.

We aren't in the position to move again.

We have a years lease.

He then said you can talk with my attorney.

I am not behind in rent and my wife and 2 daughters and I spent almost 2 mos added several Thousands of value to his property. Painted the entire inside added new fridge because the old fridge broke.

What type of individual takes advantage of a people in such a way?

I was sent a summons Thurs May 30, 2019 to start eviction process.

Thank goodness I have copies of the lease agreement and before and after pictures and receipts of all of the work done.

He basically got his house updated for FREE. Took our Money, and now wants to Kick out the Family that made it happen.

What an absolute PUKE this guy is.

I should have realized that a year before when I found this place on Airbnb and he wanted me to pay cash on the side he was shady.

I wouldn't recommend doing business with this individual named Wu Chi June/ Gary Wu. owner of Mitronics and Wu Properties LLC Renters/ BUYER BEWARE
