  We experienced a pipe bust on July 14, 2024, leading to our living room wood flooring to be saturated in water. We reported this to Home River Group, they came out and fixed the pipe on July 15th. While they were fixing the pipe we noticed black mold within the walls. We placed another maintenance request, asking for inspection of the mold, this inspection was completed through **** maintenance on July 29th. When the maintenance man inspected it, he said there was still moisture in the wall and surrounding areas, and that we should not use that shower where the leak originated. He said the damage was larger than what he could inspect from the location of the pipe the busted, and he would need an estimate to open up the walls further d/t water damage, and that the floors would need further inspections since they were saturated in water.Since this time on 7/29/24, Homeriver group has not followed up in this issue. We have called the Homeriver group time after time, sent messages through our tenant portal, and they never have come to inspect our home or resolve the issue. Since then, I have looked at the area where the black mold was visible, and it is growing.They are not only are making us live in black mold, but they are breaking our lease, since we are unable to use the master shower. We are paying rent for a three bedroom two bathroom house, but we are only able to use one of the showers.I also have been experiencing medical related issues to black mold exposure, such as headaches, dizziness, and rashes. I am needing this issues resolved and for Home River Group to get rid of the black mold in our home.

  Thank you for bringing your ongoing maintenance concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the delay you've experienced in resolving this issue. Please know that we are committed to assisting you and would like to provide more information on the steps we have taken so far.
  After our vendor's visit to your home on 7/29/24, we received a quote for the necessary repairs, which required approval from the landlord. That request was submitted on 8/7/24, and on 8/13/24, we were informed that the landlord intended to handle the matter in-house. During this period, our team made regular efforts to keep you updated with the most current information available. On 8/19/24, you submitted a new work order seeking an update on the status of the repairs. Since then, we have continued to follow up with both you and the landlord to obtain clarity on the timeline for completing the work.
  We are pleased to inform you that, as of 9/16/24, the landlord has given approval to proceed with repairs. We acknowledge that this timeline is much longer than we would like and not in line with our standards for efficient operations. As of today, the vendor is working to contact you directly to schedule the repairs.
  We will continue to keep you informed at every stage as we work to address your maintenance concerns.
  Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to resolving this matter promptly.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I do not want to accept this response, because the issue still has not been fixed. Your company also did not make regular efforts to keep us updated. The only times we ever received updates was when we messaged first. And then we either would not receive a response at all, or it was just that you were "waiting on the owners response". We also never closed any work orders out, Homeriver group would close them out. And in all of our messages and work orders, anytime we would type "black mold" your company would go in and change it so it says "black discoloration". It is not black discoloration. It is mold. 
  

  I do not want this case closed until it becomes completely resolved. 

  Sincerely,

  I moved in 3-1-24 and had all utilities put in my name. I have paid all bills and on 8-1-24 i received a bill from Homeriver for a utility bill i had already paid. I have sent all necessary correspondence showing i had paid my bill 13 days before Conservice paid it. A computer glitch from the city of choctaw accidently sent bills to every person that had had a previous account with them. I have repeatedly called and have texted HomeRiver to fix this issue and i would pay the amount that Conservice had sent to the City but its now 9-10-24 and my bill is now $516.43 because of this. I have repeatedly asked to speak to supervisors and have been denied. The standard response is "yes we see the issue and well get back in ***** hrs" Still waiting on anyone to call.I do owe Conservice $211.43 because they sent money to the City of Choctaw and i will gladly reimburse that, but i refuse to have late charges sent daily because to the s**** up.I have sent a bill showing my balance as $0 from my payment then a credit of $112.21 after Conservice sent a payment 13 days after i had paid so the City applied it to the next bill which was $99.22 which then gave me a credit of $12.99 I have also sent the payment ledger from the City of Choctaw verifying this which shows on 7-2-24 I had a zero ********** dilemna is that i cant just sent payment for the $211.43. My request is that they remove the late fees, set it up where i can pay back the money that should have never been sent and then i can go on with life.Thank you **** ******

  I closed on my home in ********* **** ******* and I knew going in that I would need to submit forms to make changes to my home like adding a fence or solar panels etc. To do this one must creat a profile in their app. You have to submit a request thru their portal to have them send you credentials within 24 hours so that you make create the profile and access the forms required. I submitted my first request for access immediately after closing. I have submitted multiple times since and still have received no response as of today, 9/10/2024. I have called them over 48 times and left a message requesting a callback so that I may ask question and hopefully remedy this. 48 calls, 48 messages in two and a half months because I have little children and need to put up a fence but need approval for. We live on pond / conservation and there is a risk with the alligator that hangs out and the water in general and because a fence was the #1 priority when we bought here. I received one call back but missed it. They left a vm stating they wanted to help but were unable to because they missed me. I called back immediately and left another vm requesting they call me. That was over a month ago. They absolutely do not follow thru on their contract to act as the go to contact for our community and I wish I knew how to have them removed because they are absolutely in breach of contract that I pay their dues to have them under employ. 48 calls and I still have no fence, I still have no way to submit for approval of said fence and my solar panels I am trying to have installed are sitting in warehouse while I pay the electric company. I am not able to enjoy my home as my children are not able to be outside to run around as they should be able to. I cannot figure out how to get them to respond unless I opt to hire one of the companies they are in bed with that would install the fence and solar. I feel they have a conflict of interest because they refuse to allow me to submit a request.

  My lease was due for renewal on 6/30/24. Prior to the lease agreement being signed I was contacted by HomeRiver numerous times daily via telephone, text message, email, and their website portal to renew. The lease was signed on 6/28/24. On this agreement the security deposit was shown as $0. On 7/2/24 HomeRiver sent a lease modification that has the security deposit as $4000. This modification was never signed and I would have not signed the initial lease renewal if the security deposit showed this amount. This has been the most unprofessional and difficult company to deal with. I cant even submit a maintenance request without getting heavy pushback. I am asking for BBB to facilitate a resolution because I dont trust this company and believe that it will be impossible to speak with someone or get this issue resolved.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I recently filed a complaint against Home River Group last month pertaining to a security deposit that was not indicated on my lease renewal. That issue was resolved so I thought. Today I was just served with a 10 day notice to pay rent. The amount on the letter is to pay $4,104.00. My rent is $2129.95 and was last paid on October 1, 2024. I was also charged a late fee of $104 that I have asked to be taken off of my account as rent was paid on time. This company is taking time away from me as I type up this complaint and it is beyond frustrating to get served when the matter was resolved. Its as if you get one answer from one person, yet the rest of the department at this company has no idea what was previously discussed. I spoke to ******** ***** just yesterday and she again reiterated what was agreed on with no mention of being served. I would like this 10 day notice to be reversed, $104 late fee reversed and any adverse reports to my credit removed. I have never been so frustrated dealing with a company ever.

  ***** ***** should be fired. Shes about as worthless as a *****. *** fees have been on autopay for 4 years. Fees were raised and their system never adjusted causing my HOA fee to be short cents, yes cents. Without notice I was billed $25 a month in late fees, keep in mind my HOA payment is under $100 every single month. I found this out when I received a letter stating that I owed $175 in late fees (7 months they waited to notify me) from less than a few dollars that was owed. I immediately paid the money that was short and tried to get an answer on why my auto pay was not taking the correct amount as other homeowners in my neighborhood stated theirs automatically adjusted with the same system. I also felt that being charged hundreds of dollars in late fees for an error from their system was a little absurd. Especially when other homeowners arent having this problem. She blew it off like it wasnt her problem. Ive heard this same issue from other homeowners in different neighborhoods. She seems to like to discriminate against certain homeowners. To top it off, I tried to log in the other day to see if she removed the late fees but apparently my $175 was sent to an attorney for collections. I finally found the number and calked them. Now Im supposed to pay over $1200, which is more than I pay in a year to my HOA, for a few dollars they didnt take from my auto pay. ?? This is why you NEVER buy a home with an HOA, and definitely not one that has ***** Whites incompetent self attempting to run it. I guess this is what happens when businesses are hurting and they really need those couple dollars.

  Business Response

  Date: 09/19/2024

  We acknowledge the concerns raised by ******** ***** regarding the *** fees, late fees, and the dispute over the total amount owed. However, we would like to clarify the following points:
  Homeowner Responsibility: It is the homeowner's responsibility to set up and manage their payments, including updating their payment amounts when *** fees increase. In this case, the homeowner did not adjust the autopay settings in the portal to reflect the new *** fee amount.
  Payment Notifications: A payment reminder was sent via **** on March 13, 2024, and an intent to lien was mailed via **** and Certified Mail on June 7, 2024. Despite these notifications, the homeowner continued to underpay the *** fees, which resulted in late fees.
  Escalation Process: Due to continued non-payment of the correct fee amount, the account was escalated to management on July 23, 2024, and then to the *** Board on August 23, 2024. The *** Board approved the case to proceed to collections via an attorney, and it was forwarded to ****** Law Group on August 29, 2024.
  Collections and Dispute: As the account has now been sent to collections, ******** ***** must address this matter directly with the collections attorney. Unfortunately, a refund will not be provided.
  We hope this clarifies the situation and respectfully request that further inquiries be directed to the collections attorney handling this case.

The replacement fee for the doorstop is exorbitant and way above retail value.  

  The filter was delivered to the home by HomeRiver Group's vendor, Second Nature 6/9/2024. The filter was left near the **** access to be replaced by a HomeRiver Group representative. I paid $34/month billed by HomeRiver Group for the concierge fee that included monthly filter replacement.

  Property management was made aware that the air was not cooling properly on August 5th. They were provided photo evidence and vendor confirmation of the temperature difference which is unlivable pursuant to AZ laws - no work was done to rectify the issue and they have been dismissive, unresponsive and unhelpful in trying to get this resolved. Only when I informed them they were in breach of AZ laws to find a solution within 10 days did they send someone out, who found no solution and no follow up was made from property management. It has been 22 days since they were made aware and the room is still unlivable. Superiors of the individual we are dealing with were also made aware of the issue who also do not seem to care to resolve the issue.

  Date: 09/17/2024

  We were made aware of the HVAC concern on 08/05 as stated. Since then we have actively been arranging professional vendors to address the issue and correct what needs to be corrected. After a recent repair to the relay, we found that there is a 2-3 degree difference in this location of the house and the construction of the building is making it difficult to access the master bedroom side of the house. We have consulted another HVAC company, a general contractor and the HOA Community in hopes to figure out a resolve to this issue. 
  
  At this time we are waiting for the second professional opinion and should have it this evening.
  
  
  As of today, we have submitted information to the HOA for an approval on a new unit and the physical appearance of the unit. The unit must match the others in the community

  We contacted HomeRiver Group and informed them that our air was not working. The thermostat was set on 71 and it was 90 in the house. After calling several times We were told a vendor was assigned and would come fix the issue. After several hours we contacted said vendor and he had no idea that anything was accepted by him. Long story short we went all weekend until mid day Monday before anyone came out. We even explained we had our 18 mo old grandson and ZERO compassion was given. Like I said we called several times and sent pictures of the thermostat.

  Complaint: 22221934
  
  I am rejecting this response because: Home River Group told us they compensate us by adjusting the rent (which was never done) for that month to help out with the inconvenience which it was more than an inconvenience it was putting 3 humans and 3 dogs health at risk. Instead,  they want to continue to be difficult to work with and not be understanding at all, which is why I made another complaint about them over the rent that we did pay on time, (ALWAYS have paid on time or even early!) unsure what the glitch was with the bank which I explained numerous times. Instead of being understanding they gave us $80 in fees. You expected us to be understanding when our house was over 90 with a child and 3 dogs. Your mere attempt at an apology doesnt cut the fact that as a business you have no compassion for humans what so ever and youve proven that many times. Shame on you HRG I truly hope none of you ever encounter this type of neglect from a company.

  Business Response

  Date: 09/26/2024

  We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our team confirmed that we did not discuss a reduction in the rent with you.
  Regarding the $80 in fees incurred at the beginning of the month, this is due to the payment you made on August 30, which was returned due to insufficient funds. As a result, a returned payment fee and late fees, as outlined in the lease agreement, have been applied.

  I am rejecting this response because: HRG you are being very unprofessional. We were told that why would I lie? Just like why would I lie about the bank glitch. There are 2 attached emails 1 showing the amount owed and then 1 showing that the amount which was more than what was to be paid was being credited. We have ALWAYS paid on time or even prior to the 1st. Do you have any compassion at all? Seriously there is no reason we should had been charged those fees and you know it. Shame you HRG. We will make sure anyone we know DOES not rent from your company. Learn to do right by your tenants.

  Business Response

  According to our field personnel , no rent reduction was ever discussed with the tenant and we have nothing in writing to that effect. The $80 additional fee was due to the rent check being returned for non-sufficient funds which is part of their tenant agreement.

  I am rejecting this response because: There was discussion about that since twice we went without A/C within a 2 week period we went several days and had a baby in our home. You will continue to lie and not have any compassion. As far as the return fee I understand the $25 even though I explained there was an issue with the bank. The other $55 was charged while I was waiting to hear back about resubmitting the transaction. We have NEVER been late not once even pay before its due. Paid on 10/25 for 11/1 rent. Its fine your company has zero human compassion and honesty, I hope you never have the issues we have had! 
  
  Sincerely,

  I live in ******************** and since Hurricane *** in 2022, I have been asking HomeRiver, ***** ***** to clean the common area behind our home as they are responsible for it. Branches that hang over that area our not on our property and yet she sends us violations on it. We asked our Board and they said why should they take care of an area they cannot see. ***** and HomeRiver are also controlling our Board by not holding a fair election coming up which violates House Bill 1203. I can provide all the supporting documents but I want ***** ***** removed from assisting our community and need someone unbiased to come in.

  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation regarding the area behind your home and the roles of the Board of Directors and the property management company.
  The decision to clean or maintain common areas, including the one behind your property, is solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of seven elected members who make decisions based on the community's needs and the available budget. As your property management company, we have presented your request to the Board; however, they decided not to move forward with the cleanup at this time due to budget constraints. Please be assured that we have included this request in the 2025 budget proposal, where it will be reconsidered.
  Regarding your concern that the management company or the property manager is controlling the Board, this is not the case. The management company and property manager work under the direction of the Board, taking instructions from the designated contact person, typically the Board President. Our role is to implement the Board's decisions and manage the property according to their policies, not to make decisions for the Board or the community.
  As for the upcoming election, the process follows all proper procedures, and every homeowner has the opportunity to participate and vote for Board members. There has been no request from the Board or any Board member for a change in or the removal of the current manager.
  We value your input and welcome any further questions you may have. We are committed to serving the community in line with the Boards directives and hope that we can address your concerns through continued dialogue and collaboration.
  Thank you again for your understanding.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I tried to attach more and cannot. ***** ***** has been telling me since 2022 that HomeRiver will clean the Common Area (see attached proof) and it has not been done. I continue to receive violations to clean it which I am not responsible for. The Board takes all direction from ***** ***** - she has even asked them to manipulate the meeting minutes to leave out certain aspects of what they asked us to do such as a committee to change the bylaws. She then sends out proxies and wants to collect them instead of our Secretary - per our bylaws they are to go to the Secretary and we do not have a ******************** for our group.  The directions were sent after the fact to all homeowners on what to do. They keep trying to play that the Board is directing them when ***** ****** of HomeRiver told another homeowner that HomeRiver has to hold that hand of the Board and even run the meetings for us. It is not our Board - this company targets homes and has turned this community upside down since the sale of their business. They do not hold any of their employees accountable.

  I am rejecting this response because: I have retained an attorney and was given permission to share the attached with the community along with a letter defending myself and other homeowners. We still are seeking a fair election in our community and will not allow harassment, targeting from a company to any neighbor going forward for simply asking questions and sharing information.

  Homeriver Group has received your concerns and an extensive review was done based on what was provided in your statement.
  Your unit was marketed and although it did not rent prior to you making the decision to take it off the market,
  we see extensive email threads from our Regional Leasing Manager and the Property Manager to you reviewing updates on the
  property including leads, showings and interest.  There were two applicants that came forward during this time although neither
  consummated a lease for the property.  During a good period of the time the property was on the market, it was also on the market
  for sale, which disabled our ability to market the property through Zillow correctly due to the sale taking precedence .  
  There is no particular information showing in emails reviewed showing any charges for work that was not completed.  We are happy
  to review anything you provide to enable us to review that item further.  Charges to your account for ********************** fees appear
  correct upon review.  A charge for your management fee in March ********************** that month and it was subsequently posted
  in April 2024. Both charges were valued and accurate and there were no duplicate fees charged for the management of your property.
  While there was a change in managers around the time of the tenant vacancy at the end of May 2024, we do not see where there
  was a delay in getting the property on the market. 
  Items that were completed were noted as done and reported by the ** to have been completed by the vendor properly.
  Funds have recently been sent to you representing the deposit in the amount of $1895.
  Any further action taken would need more specifics for review to be considered.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The unit was to be listed on all real estate sites by ***. I was advised by the ** and leasing agent that it could stay on the market for sale and rent (simultaneously) with the exception of Zillow website (which would not list both). *** also claimed to have had multiple open houses which were not carried out, per my ADT records, someone would access the unit and leave just minutes later. The disarming/arming the alarm roster showed me each time they accessed the unit - which does not align with their story. Resulting in ONLY 2 leads/applications generated in 3  months. *** was negligent in responding to my calls and concerns, as well as negligent to discuss ANY alternative solutions to making my unit more marketable. I did not receive any feedback from regional managers regarding my concerns of urgency to get the unit rented as soon as possible. Another result of the unit sitting vacant for 3 months. This negligence caused me a loss of nearly $6000 of rental income.
  The staff turnover was absolutely an issue in their communication and continuity resulting in severe inefficiencies and breach of contract. There was no consistency in their performance or reporting. There were extensive gaps in their performance and reporting due to the lack of staff and hiring processes, onboarding deficiencies, and underskilled staff.

  Additionally, I walked the unit and photo documented the work that was NOT done. The proof is there in the photos. I will not accept any other falsehoods being told to protect the egos of the *** staff who was negligent in ensuring the compliance and completion of work that I was being charged for. The only record to substantiate the condition of the unit was my review and photos taken when I was physically there to see it. 

  I am requesting the charges be removed from my account for: cleaning, outlet covers and door installations in the amount of $325+$75+$405 = $805. These items have been documented and reviewed as incomplete.

  I also require the full security deposit be returned to me in the amount of $1895.

  This is a reasonable argument, considering the poor quality of service, and the large sum of money that was lost due to ***s failure to provide adequate services.

  Sincerely,
