Man Cited Again for Ordinance Violation Related to Rental House

William Andrew Kops picked up another citation in mid-August, for violating the village's time-share ordinance.

A Fox Point man has been cited a fifth time for violating the village’s time share ordinance, after police say they discovered he had again agreed to rent out his house.

Renters Cry Foul Over Rental Home in Fox Point

Two women claim they paid more than $2,000 to stay in a home that was filled with old food and dirty laundry.

A Fox Point man ran into trouble with police when he was accused by two out-of-state women renting them a home that wasn't exactly as advertised. William Andrew Kops posted an ad on Craigslist that offered his home at 721 E. Daisy Ln. as a four-bedroom, 3,400-square-foot, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired vacation home. However, when the women gave Kops their security deposit, they had no idea the home's condition would not be what was promised. According to Fox Point police reports: A Belmont, VT, resident filed a report with Fox Point police after an incident with Kops over the summer. The woman had found the listing on Craigslist, contacted Kops and paid $2,000 for the week of Aug. 1 through Aug. 7, as well as a $1,300 security deposit and a…
