When I moved into this community I paid a deposit of $1930. I have since transferred into a different unit and was advised my deposit would be credited to my new unit in the amount of $1770. I was then told after this was sent to me in writing that additional Monies were being deducted in the amounts of $25 additional dollars and $340 to re carpet the floor in one of the bedrooms due to a tiny line stain on the carpet. I was able to visit the prior unit only discover that, not only was there no carpet in the unit, the entire flooring had been replaced in the whole unit to a uniformed floor. I sent an email to the proper manager with my concern as to her deducting additional monies from my deposit for carpet that doesnt exist since May 8, 2024 and have been completely ignored. I even asked for a copy of the invoice for the contractor that was completing the re carpeting of the floor in the one bedroom and was provided with a bulk invoice for what I now I understand is for the grey hardwood floors that are now in the unit and was told she couldnt provide a copy of an invoice for the single room itself. Not only did she take an additional $340 out of my deposit to re carpet the floor in one bedroom she also charged me an additional $35 for cleaning of the shower grout and was told it would be an additional $25. I have attempted to find resolve however Im being ignored.Business Response

Hello *****,
Sorry for the confusion, I thought this was sent to you already. Our move out process is to include the move out statement which itemizes what you have been charged for. In regards to the repairs and carpet replacement I'm not able to provide the actual invoice specifically id We clean, paint, change flooring as needed in flipping the apartment and this includes any damages and repairs to be done. I've enclosed all invoices pertaining to the work that was done in your apartment and as you can see, we are paying to bulk of this.
I myself walked the apartment and the carpet in one of the bedrooms was damaged (stained) therefore you were charged for that, the tiling in the bathroom had to be regrouted part of cleaning.Even though we changed out carpet and add flooring resident did damage the previous carpet and was charged for what would have been the cost to change the carpet. Yes, instead of carpet we did add flooring due to change of ownership requirement.
Please note this resident transferred within the community and is constantly going to the old unit to see what was replaced with is unacceptable.

I have included photos on the 4 of 5 different floors that were inside the unit. I was originally told that I would be transferred $1770 of the $1930 deposit that was originally paid, *********************. As mentioned in our correspondence YOU confirmed the additional charge would be for damaging of the carpet in one bedroom which have clearly have been repaired by a carpet cleaning company. Instead you opted to charge me for a floor that doesnt exist carpet (to redo the flooring in one of the bedrooms due to the carpet being damaged) and provided me a bulk statement of what was supposed to be for carpeting of the flooring in ONE ROOM. The entire flooring was replaced to a solid uniform floor throughout the unit. And furthermore, the statement that was made that I continue to go the unit to see what work was done is FALSE. I went the unit to get my mail from the current tenant which I explained to you and noticed that the entire floor had been done over. ******* is a disgusting person and lacks professionalism and integrity. I have attached also a photo of the damaged carpet that could have been cleaned by a carpet company. Instead entire floor was pulled up and I was charged to assist in paying for a new, uniformed floor throughout the unit.Initial Complaint

*Cockroaches *Leaks in apartments *No Heat in the winter *The doctor wrote a letter stating that it was not a safe environment for the elderly and that I needed to move immediately. *Now they will not return my deposit and there is no one that will return my call.

As with all tenant communication, we value feedback and we want to make sure that every tenant feels that we have fully addressed their concerns. As a result of this complaint, we conducted a thorough file review, especially since a large financial request was made. Here is the information that we found relevant to Ms. ********* complaint.
There were ongoing monthly pest control services provided for the tenant. We consider this effort a success as we have not had pest control complaints by the new tenant.
A structural engineer was engaged to evaluate and replace all balconies deemed unsafe in the complex. It is an ongoing project.
Our records show that **************************** security deposit for unit 39 was $250. She received $128.68 as a deposit refund. This was calculated by taking the deposit amount of $250, minus a balance due on move out of $59.66, rent due through 4-1 of $55.83 and Utilities due through 4-1 of $5.83
According to these records, we believe that there is nothing more that needs to be resolved and we consider this matter closed. We realize that this may not be a satisfactory response for ********************. If this is the case, we would ask that she to provide proof that we have any further issues to discuss. She may do so by writing to the Regional Manager, *****************************, at **************************************************Customer Answer

I relocated to ** and was about 20 Miles to the border of the state. One day prior to my move in day and *************** ************* ** a Pacifica ******************* advised that my apartment was not ready. They offered a different apartment and originally stated that there was a price difference I refused to pay. They agreed to keep to it the same. I moved in and the apartment was filthy. I had to clean the entire unit. I called the office and had her come look. I was advised that I was getting a credit for this. I requested maintenance consistently over two months and it took that long to get a toilet fixed. No smoke detector in the unit. I have email chains after email chains of this and submitted through the portal. I have photos of the unit moving in and moving out. Maintenance just showed up one day with no notification to fix the toilet was trying to get in when i was coming home from lunch. My son was home during all of this. I decided to vacate the premises turned in my key due to their refusal to provide maintenance and to bring the property up to code. Moved out 11-9 they sent me straight to collections ***** without proper notification of a 30 day notice. The amount they are trying to collect is more than the 9 days of tenancy. They have impacted my credit and caused irreparable damage causing me to be nearly homeless. They kept my deposit.Initial Complaint

Hotel stay with Pacifica *********** located at ********************** Pacifica ** ***** Room **** We checked into this hotel, the bathroom wall above the shower was infested with black mold. The light in the bathroom didn't work, we had to use our flashlight on phone. When we complained to the concierge they advised the room was not supposed to be rented due to maintenance issues. We were offered a 10% for the lights issue and nothing about the black mold issue. They did offer to change rooms which we did after the first night. I'm back home in ******* and have been congested ever since we stayed in that hotel. We are requesting a full refund from the hotel.
