MASON CITY – A Mason City man is battling City Hall and his landlord to keep his home.
Quinn Symonds found a notice at his home for “no occupancy” on Thursday. The notice stated that as of April 13th – less than three days from Thursday – Symonds and his five year-old daughter would have to be out of the rental house they live in, located at 719 North Kentucky Avenue. The house is owned by landlord Joe Paulson.
The notice said that Symonds has to be out of the house because a city inspector determined that some windows in the single-family home are not up to code. The windows – which look like standard windows – are supposed to be “egress” windows for escape purposes in case of emergency.
Symonds said late Thursday that the first notice was placed on his door by city staff around noon while he was at his daughter’s spring program.
After seeing that the city was giving him less than 3 days to vacate his home, Symonds went to City Hall to get some answers. When he got there, most people were at lunch, so Symonds was able to make contact via phone a short time later. Symonds said that City Hall officials admitted they had made a mistake with the first notice and then came to his home and placed a second notice on his door.
See video of Symonds describing his situation before he went into City Hall seeking assistance with his problem:
Shortly after stopping at City Hall, Symonds got advice from Human Rights Director Lionel Foster via phone, who told him that the city can’t force him out of his rental house due to deficiencies caused by the landlord not adhering to city code with the windows. Foster advised Symonds to deliver a notice to Paulson advising him that he was unduly forcing Symonds out of his home. Symonds brought a notice to Paulson later Thursday.
Symonds had this to say of working with city employees at City Hall:

After discussing the issue with city officials, they admitted that the three day notice was a “mistake” and immediately brought a new notice to Symonds’ home and placed it on the door. The new notice gave Symonds 30 days to be out of the house.
Later, Symonds, following the advice of Human Rights Director Lionel Foster, put in writing his concerns and hand-delivered the notice to Paulson. In the notice, Symonds says he told Paulson that he would not be paying rent until the house was up to city code and “informed him that the city cannot evict me because it’s the law that he keeps the home rentable by lease.”
Symonds said that his current lease is set to run until March of 2014.

Inspection report:
I decided to give a shot at trading cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ETH and ripple as I was surfing online, a google ad of the false trading and investment company popped and click on the ad. In about 5 mins or less, I got a call from Ms. Adelaide who walked me through the process of creating an account and then depositing a thousand dollars. From there, I deposited a total of sixteen thousand dollars and my profit was almost at forty thousand but I couldn’t make a withdrawal of my profit. They kept asking for money for withdrawal like SIP Certificate, State tax charges and the likes, which I paid for but still couldn’t get my funds. It dawned on me I was only shown simulated trades and no trading really took place. This scam lasted for four months. I found a recommendation to employ the services of a top wealth recovery company written by Harry Pitel and Paul snorff who are movie celebrities in Turkey who was swindled by HybridReserve and Cryptonxt but recovered their funds back! They sang the praises of {brigadia tech remikeable @AT proton DOT me} a top penetration expert in the company who I then reached out to who intervened and helped repatriate my funds alongside some percentage of my profit. HYBRID RESERVE is a fraudulent company and they will make you question humanity. Stay away from the this false trading and investment company. Pardon my English as I am not a native speaker of English language.

The best move i have made in my life is to get professional assistance from firewallbreachexpert a(t) gm(a)il do(t) com in fixing my credit issues! You can trust they will have your back completely. I am highly impressed.
Just received my revised credit update and my credit score shot up 200points from 592
the anonymous credit repairer really did a phenomenal job, and i truly appreciate this. You can email him at anonymouscreditrepairer (AT)gmail(DOT)com to help you too. i’m a satisfied customer.
Sincerely Many of us have been through it: because of mismanagement of our own finances, some family misfortune, or a combination of both we end up in a poor credit situation where there truly seems to be no way out. That’s where my wife and I were. I was in the process of trying to repair my credit rating, making some progress but very slowly. So i felt i had no other choice left than to find a hacker to help us and i did. His email was posted on a credit assistance page online. And me and my wife boldly took the step to email him and that was the end. Our credit scores increased enormously and our debts and student loans gone. I decided i was going to share this. Reach him at globalview (dot)hacker (at) gmail dot com.
I and my wife tried for years to get an HELOC loan but couldn’t because of certain negatives we had on both our credit history and our credit scores weren’t also high enough. We really needed help and soon became desperate. We had our kids looking up to us. and our eatery sales werent like it used to be. I had to become bold and asked loyal customers for ways i could fix my credit then a customer told me about a hacker he’s been using for a long time. He said he really took pity on me by telling me and gave me an email, I emailed the hacker at firewallbreachexpert atgmaildotcom. The whole story changed after then, He removed all negatives on our credit and also raised our credit scores and credit limit. Including giving us a loan. reach him for your financial freedom now.
I found Spy Stealth’s information while researching getting late payments removed from my credit report. Then sent him a mail for help. It took me by surprise to see the improvement made on my credit report earlier this week. I don’t have much to say, I can only describe him in one word “Awesome”. Contact this genius at spystealth|.|org|@|gmail|.|com.
I was not entirely sure how this works but I heard Spy Stealth is good at helping people with their credit scores in all honesty I could slowly work on my score myself, but the eviction I had on my account was seriously hurting me. I was living with a room mate who’s brother will be moving in by May which means I had to move. I didn’t want to live in hotels anymore I just wanted to be able to get my own place…As I speak, Spy Stealth got rid of all negative listings and eviction on my credit at a reasonable price. Thanks to him, I can’t imagine what my life would have been If I had not met him. And for those interested in his services, his email address is spystealth . org@g mail.com.
Some of the comments here are laughable. If the window was not an issue when he first rented it, why is it all of a sudden an issue after the property changed hands?
For the past few years, since meeting Mr. Paulson, I have had nothing but respect for the man, both as a person, and as a businessman. And he must be doing something right in his life to be able to afford the rentals he has purchased and rehabbed. From what I have seen of them, they are far and away better than what others have to offer.
I know Quinn & he is a good guy & a good father to his little girl. Enough with the defamation of character & whoever claimed to be his landlord & wrote such malicious things, you should be liable for a slander suit. Ridiculous allegations against a very nice gentleman.
