Support Bob Stone: Pappas trying to put good, elderly tenant on the street
in landlord retaliation for reporting Housing Code violations
UPDATE: Sadly, Bob Stone passed away, in part, due to all the stress Pappas caused him

Landlord Pappas ordered by Arlington Court Judge to return $1275 security deposit to two young lady tenants.

The Pappas Tenant Association is a group of present and past tenants of the Louis Pappas Real Estate Trust Corporation, most of whom live or work in the Crystal City / Arlington, VA area. It was founded in 1994. This World Wide Web page serves as a forum for discussion and information concerning issues related to the rental of property from the Pappas Trust. The PTA seeks to prevent conflict before it arises, and facilitate smooth and peaceful resolution of issues between the tenants and management.

Now prospective tenants at least have the opportunity to search Yahoo for the landlord's name, see what experiences others have had, and decide if they want to sign a lease.  No longer can landlords get away with not returning security deposits, thinking no one will know about it.  It is a New Age - of the Internet, and easy access to knowledge.

The Virginia Legislature has enacted fair Landlord Tenant Laws, but the Judiciary repeatedly fails to enforce them, or interprets them in the favor of landlords, allowing horrible abuses of tenants' civil rights.

Quotes from Louis A. Pappas

"You know what the Golden Rule is - Those with the Gold make the Rules."
"Tenants can have any house improvements they want - and can afford."
"Our tax system is great, especially the real estate deductions."
"Who will the police believe, me (rich landlord) or you? (tentant)"
"Old Age and Treachery Will Overcome Youth and Skill"
"I'm not a full time landlord." - under oath

Louie Falsely Claims
Exemption to Judge

Pappas claims Exemption to
Virginia Landlord Tenant Laws
and Housing Codes under Oath

§§ 36-86. through 36-96
"this chapter shall not apply to any single-family house sold or rented by an owner, provided that such private individual does not own more than three single-family houses at any one time"

Pappas owns more than 3
such residential properties and
conceals them as "commercial"

 

Pappas Stalls on Deposit Return
as Friedlander breaks promise
Friedlander.jpg (1426 bytes)

Another deposit was not returned as promised - even for months after tenant moved out.   A landlord should simply send the security deposit to the tenant within a week of the move out date.   

But the tenant had to make repeated requests and start pursuing legal action to get his promised funds.  This was difficult as he had moved over 1000 miles away.  The time and trouble to get his funds was more than the deposit itself.

This is often the case, when tenants cannot afford the funds or time off from work to pursue justice.  Meanwhile, landlords have the luxury of time, money, and may even purchase special considerations.

Pappas has taken up hundreds of  hours and thousands in public funds from the Arlington Commonwealth Attorney and Police Departments for serving his tenant matters rather than the Public. 

Pappas made unfounded accusations and false statements under oath.  These accusations did not stand up in court.  Pappas offered no physical evidence, and only his inconsistent testimonies.  A Jury quickly saw through his baloney. 

But Pappas took precious resources away from the War on Terrorism, unsolved murders (click) and finding missing persons

Should millionaire Pappas reimburse the Commonwealth of Virginia taxpayers for the cost of his false accusations?

Would Pappas get such special attention if he was a pauper?

Bad Karma - Stealing from the Saintly

From 1990-1993, the properties at 505 24th Street and 2320 South Eads next door provided meeting rooms for a Transcendental Meditation Center, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to world peace.

Nanette Robert The couple that managed the Center were were ideal tenants, Mr. & Mrs. Gary Inman. They naturally fulfilled all tenant responsibilities, generously made improvements at their own expense, and left the house in perfect condition. 

Nevertheless, in 1993 Pappas refused to return the $1000 security deposit to the TM Center.  In the interests of peace, they transcended the issue.  They did not pursue legal action, or any action on the surface of life, leaving Pappas to the universal Law of Karma.

Fire at 2320 South Eads
What happened May 25, 1997?

  • Pappas' handy man Marvin had been advising him for years from 1994 - 1997 to fix electrical wiring at 2320 South Eads. 
    marvin.jpg (2007 bytes)

  • Pappas' negligence finally leads to a fire in May 25, 1997.  

  • Pappas knowingly withheld this information (and Marvin's existence) from Fire Investigator Kenneth Kent; an Officer of the Law

  • When the Inspector asks Pappas "Do you know what might have caused this fire?" he is not supposed to send him on a wild goose chase

  • Pappas tried to blame the fire on the homeless men that Shaddock was hiring for yard work.

  • Pappas seeks maximum payment from Fire Insurance Company for repair of his house, by avoiding being seen at fault for the fire.

  • Pappas receives increase in property value to his house of over $57,500 without paying a penny for the repairs.

Pappas' Secret "Safe House"

Pappas proudly tells many that one of his houses was
seen by millions in the 1987 movie NO WAY OUT.
But he keeps it secret from the Judge,
claiming he is "not a full time landlord", and
therefore exempt from Virginia Housing Code Regulations
for providing proper living conditions to tenants

After the tenants graciously allowed their home to be used by the movie crew and Kevin Costner for the film,  free of charge, Pappas declared the house to be more valuable, and raised their rent!
