Above: On July 25, 2014 David I. holds check #1602 in the amount of $1,875 for return of his security deposit from Milton Hudson and Stacey Havener. That check bounced twice after he was assured by Hudson—who no longer had a real estate license—that the funds would be in the account to cover the payment. The home was rented by David and Jackie I. in Piñon Pines from All Seasons Property Management, a company name which was not legally registered with the California Bureau of Real Estate (CalBRE).

After an audit of Havener’s accounts, CalBRE charged that funds were not properly handled. The name of the company on the bounced check is “All Seasons Property Management,” which is not a legally registered real estate company.

The remaining $200 was not returned, according to the action filed against Havener in April.
