Michael J Derr is a slumlord in Madison, WI.

• Told a tenant to deposit through PayPal as an individual transaction and not a business transaction: tenant got stuck with the fee for the transaction.
• Bathroom ceiling in units leaking, patched hastily, has cracking from water damage.
• Bathroom ceiling fans in disrepair in most units, badly in need of cleaning and maintenance, sounds like a 747 starting.
• Fridge was not functional, off and on for a couple of months.  Derr tried to fix it himself as he is also maintenance, but ended up giving up and hiring a professional.
• Described as “creepy”- came by to ‘check’ on issues without notice.
• Allegedly has tried to ask tenants out on dates over email, despite the inappropriate power dynamic. 
• 522 W. Wilson St. is extremely run down and shabby.  Fruit flies, black mold, tiny kitchens, etc.
