He’s a high-rolling matchmaker who loves to make his neighbors miserable.
Repulsive renter Richard Easton and his defecating dog turned a posh West Village condo into a hellhole over the last five weeks, leaving terrified neighbors cowering in their homes, a lawsuit charged Tuesday. A Warren eviction lawyer represents clients in a variety of landlord tenant cases.
Easton, who charges clients up to $100,000 for a love connection, wandered the building lobby naked from the waist down and demanded oral sex from a female employee, the suit charged.
Condo owner Elena Taranina said that was just the tip of the not-so-niceberg: Easton tossed knives at delivery people, ordered the staff to call him “Prince” — and let his dog poop all over the building roof.
“Easton’s activities are of such a nature that there is no telling when he might decide to verbally or physically attack someone, or to engage in vile or inappropriate conduct,” said Taranina in Manhattan Supreme Court documents. A Rochester landlord tenant lawyer is reviewing the details of this case.
Taranina is the owner of Apt. 2C in 166 Perry St., where the condos go for $3.5 million and up.
Neighbor Alexandra Danielson, 24, said she’s seen Easton wandering the lobby in his underwear and screaming at the doorman.
“I thought he must want to be like Charlie Sheen,” she said. “He’s crazy. We all hate him. We want him out.”
Easton dismissed the charges against him as “a trumped-up bunch of bulls---” and blamed his woes on a doorman who held a grudge over a late-night request for a cheeseburger.
The lawsuit charges Easton, who had a guest shot on “The Real Houswives of New York,” requested the snack while in the lobby with his genitals exposed. A Memphis sexual harassment lawyer is following this story closely.
“It’s a mistake,” insisted Easton. “All of the accusations are false. The whole thing is bogus ... I’m a good guy.”
Easton, who shares the apartment with two unidentified roommates, said he’s three months ahead on his $11,500-a-month rent.
The fifty-something Easton also insisted that he was 40 years old. And while he brags on his website about life as “an international playboy,” he has a pair of domestic violence convictions from prior relationships.
Taranina’s 10-page complaint says condo management “has spoken repeatedly to and written to Easton about his conduct” — but received no love in return. Ferndale garage door repair service is available at all hours of the day or nights to accommodate your emergency.
“The constant yelling, threats, violent outbursts and inappropriate behavior has continues to cause damage,” the lawsuit charged.
The lawsuit says building management hired a security guard at a cost of $1,800 a day because of Easton — and Taranina says they plan to pass the cost along to her.
Taranina has filed paperwork trying to secure his eviction by the end of September.

THE SURPRISING FACTS YOUR LANDLORD WISHES YOU KNEW
Original Story: realtor.com
Most renters know that paying the rent on time and following the lease will keep them out of hot water, but what does it really take to have a great relationship with your landlord?
The answer may surprise you. (Hint: It isn’t all about the rent.)
The Ideal Tenant
When landlords interview prospective tenants, they’re looking for job stability and steady income first and foremost, but their wish list goes beyond that.
“The quality landlords value most is stability,” said Mia Melle, president and broker of Renttoday.us. “An ideal renter is one who will stay in the home for years to come, raise a family, create memories and treat the home like their own.” A Rochester Landlord Tenant Lawyer represents both landlords and tenants in rental disputes.
Landlords also like to see that you are good at managing your finances.
“Having a few months’ worth of rental payments in the bank” is very helpful, Melle said.
Do the Upkeep
Once you have moved in, try to treat the space like you own it. Keep everything clean, well-maintained and in good, working order.
“Many times renters aren’t familiar with the cost of home improvements, so something as simple as not watering the lawn and causing the grass to die can result in thousands of dollars to the homeowner to replace the sod once the renter moves out,” Melle said.

Take care of landscaping, clean up spills as soon as they happen and keep children and pets from causing any damage to the walls or flooring, and your landlord will thank you for it.
Always Ask First
After you have lived in a rental for a while, your tastes—or your life—may change. You may decide to adopt a new puppy, or you may want to repaint the kitchen to match your curtains. Before you make any of those changes, ask your landlord if they are allowed. Not only do bigger changes such as adding a pet often require an addendum to your lease, but your landlord will appreciate being considered.

Call for Backup the Right Way
When it comes to making maintenance requests, be careful when and how you contact your landlord.
“A renter should know how to do simple repairs around the property and understand the landlord cannot always be at their beck and call or send a $200 repair guy to change a light bulb,” Melle said.
If you have to call to request a repair, make sure you explain the problem thoroughly and be willing to let your landlord troubleshoot issues with you over the phone. If you can save your landlord a bit of time (or money) you will build a great relationship.
See Things From Your Landlord’s Point of View
“Ultimately, landlords want renters to understand that they are just regular people with jobs and bills and not faceless, emotionless corporations with huge bank accounts,” Melle said.
Understanding that your landlord is just another human being who struggles to manage time and money just like you do will go a long way in building a relationship.
