CALIFORNIA WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER BOOKING EX-BOYFRIEND FOR 41 DIFFERENT “FREE HOME INSPECTIONS”
SAN DIEGO, CA — Police say a 23-year-old woman turned a breakup into a full-blown property assessment marathon after allegedly scheduling dozens of “free home inspections” at her ex-boyfriend’s apartment — which he does not own.
According to investigators, the revenge operation began after he posted a selfie captioned: “Leveling up.”
Authorities say he leveled into chaos.
Over four days, his rental unit reportedly became the most evaluated 900 square feet in Southern California.
Companies allegedly showed up offering:
• Roof inspections
• Foundation assessments
• Mold testing
• Termite evaluations
• Chimney safety checks
• Plumbing pressure diagnostics
• Window efficiency audits
• “Pre-sale readiness consultations”
One inspector reportedly asked him where he planned to relocate after closing.
He replied, “I rent.”
Neighbors say clipboards were everywhere.
The situation escalated when two separate termite companies showed up simultaneously and began arguing over who had the confirmed 10:00 AM slot. Both reportedly had intake forms listing him as “highly motivated to sell.”
Police traced the submissions back to a newly created email address allegedly linked to the woman.
Investigators say several forms included comments such as:
“Owner eager. Open to immediate upgrades.”
When questioned, she reportedly said, “He said I wasn’t building anything with him. Now he is.”
She now faces charges related to harassment and unlawful use of personal information.
The ex has reportedly stopped answering his door and placed a sign on it reading:
“NOT FOR SALE.”
One responding officer summed it up:
“I’ve seen revenge texts. I’ve never seen someone try to refinance a man emotionally.”
