Do not rent or hire Dominic Lee Nock. I will relate everything exactly as it happened so I can NOT be accused of libel. He is a con man and thief and cheated me out of six weeks rent, but that may be his modus operandi, he told me one of things that he liked best about a female friend in Oregon is that she allowed him to stay with her for a month free (I didn’t find out this much later or I wouldn’t have let him stay.) He is on this liars cheaters website for that reason NOT because he’s a former lover. What I write is very long, so if you don’t want to read more, just know he CHEATS people out of the rent that he owes them and if he’s liable to do that, if he’s in a work position that allows access to money, he may be liable to steal.
He had advertised in the Los Angeles room wanted section of Craigslist. He had a very poignant story on there, a friend in CA. had invited him to come out from Maryland to stay but once he got there, the friend wouldn’t answer his phone calls, he got a google voice number and he got through and his friend told him that he was staying with his girlfriend and she was paying the rent and did NOT want someone she didn’t know to live with them. He had another friend he was staying with, but that other friend made him feel very unwelcome as he wasn’t happy that he was living there and not paying rent. He wrote very well on his ad and I talked to him and he was very eloquent. He seemed also to be very honest, he told me how when he lived with a friend in MD. he felt that the rent was too low so he paid him more and he said at his own expense, he wired the place. He also said in his ad, that although he could not pay anything now, he was getting a job and he would pay with a refund he was getting soon. He seemed sincere and honest and he told me that when he sent his picture in that some people stopped corresponding with him. I had suspicions then but told him to email his pic and I was right, he was black. I thought hard about this, as three black people I trusted cheated me, but I thought I should not judge a person by the color of their skin and knew that as a black person, he would find more difficulty finding help. I told him that I had a fixer upper that I was going to sell soon, so was not looking for long term, regular renter, I would rent to him, under a special circumstance, I would still want him to pay rent (I am not rich, and have to pay property taxes and HOA dues) but was willing let him defer the rent as I would trust him to pay me later, and furthermore, he could pay me in payments later, even after he moved if he wanted to save up his money to pay rent and deposits in North Hollywood where he said he was to be hired which was two hours by public transport from my place in the South Bay, I would trust him as I have others. He seemed to clearly understand that.We, the roommate he was going to be living with in the rental and I picked him up at the Metro station. When we brought him back, I let a terrible mistake happen. When the roommate moved in, I told him he couldn’t smoke and he said he would quit, and when we picked up Dom., he said he smoked and I said that I did not want smokers but when we got back the roommate Phil said he wanted to smoke on the balcony, I was quite surprised and so was Dom, but Phil said he just wanted to finish his pack and so said Dom and too my everlasting regret I acceded.
