Bay County condo renters arrested for allegedly failing to pay owners

Bay County, Fla— The owners of a property management company failed to pay condo owners, according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office (BCSO). And now, they've been put in their place.

Nathaniel Tice, 42, and Jessica Delauder, 35, were arrested this week and charged with fraud and grand theft for 11 victims who said the two owners of Vacation Place Rentals were not making rental fee payments.

In January, a condo owner filed a complaint with the BCSO saying t he had not received any rental fee payments from the Panama City Beach-based property management company since mid-2016. They were reportedly supposed to be managing the rental of his condo.

After that the complaints from additional owners started piling up.
While investigating the case, the BCSO Financial Crimes Unit said the suspects blamed their financial troubles on a previous employee, who the couple said took their money and didn't pay taxes.

After a detailed examination of their financial records, as well as interviews with Delauder and Tice, investigators obtained a warrant for their arrest.
