Rupak is an abusive asshole. He writes his own leases and tries to pass them off as standard although several classes are illegal. He will steal your deposit and tries to claim you damaged his property to scare you into fixing his properties. If you want to avoid a nightmare do not rent from him, it's not worth it. You will not find a single tenant in his properties who has had a good experience.

This landlord is a liar and thief. He scammed me out of my safety deposit and made my tenancy unnecessarily stressful. If you want to rent any of his properties, I suggest talking to the current tenants. You should also read you lease very carefully. He usually says he got it off the internet and it's a standard lease. He actually writes the lease himself and most of the clauses on it will be used against you at a later time. He also likes to add things between signings. Save yourself the headache and look for another landlord, his properties are definitely not worth the additional headaches.

I rented from Rupak a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare. I still have PTSD from his emails, text messages, and overall behavior. As an example, he resorted to saying I had to clean and be out of the house for tenant showings or he would fine us and sew us. This was not true, but rather a scare tactic so newer tenants could not see the look of grief and dissatisfaction with him as a landlord. He will rope you in by saying he is a Physics professor at TAMU and you should trust him. He will then proceed to try and take advantage of you at every turn. His usual behaviors include harassment, failure to make timely repairs, lies about the lease, and eleventh-hour bogus charges and insane rent increases. I am not only summarizing my experience but that of other tenants. If you think this is an exaggeration, do your due diligence and go talk to the current tenants at any one of his properties.

Landlord will look for any excuse to not do repairs and then blame you for the issue. He will try to write out as much responsibility out of the lease as he can. If you press him on repairs he will start harrasing you on nonesense. He also stole the last tenants deposit under bogus charges. This was not a case of he said/she said. They did a walkthrough and he said everything was in order. Changed his mind the following day. He prefers foreign tenants as he believes they do not know the laws.
