  I moved into a rental unit that Evernest Property Management owns. The home has had numerous issues, including safety concerns. When I toured the home there were no utilities but it looked like a decent place for the price so I applied. I was approved. I was scheduled to move in April 21, ************************************************* to get the power cut on so they could perform an inspection to ensure the home was ready. I had no problem with it, I had the power turned on the next day. I was told the property was ready for move in. It has been nothing but issues since I moved in. The house was infested with spiders, the refrigerator was broken and gave off a foul smell, the a/c didnt work, filters had not been replaced, there was no power in one bathroom and barely any any working outlets throughout the house, and the bathtub line was disconnected so when you drain the tub it leaked all into the crawl space. There was this mildew like smell, I placed a minute ace requested and the tech confirmed there was mold in the crawl space, this person also confirmed that my water heater was leaking and the vent hose was incorrect, it was not fixed yet another person was sent out and confirmed the severity of the mold and told me it was not safe for my family to be here. Two other techs were sent out bout the water heater, the last tech confirmed that it is a fire hazard, it does not have a s*** off valve, a pan, and it is installed incorrectly. It is still not fixed leaving my children and I to live in a unsafe home. They move with no sense of urgency.

  Hello Ms. *********************** you for submitting your concern to the Better Business Bureau. We have carefully reviewed your account, service records, and associated maintenance history.

  Per your request, our vendor was dispatched to assist with connecting your personal washer machine to the units water supply. The service technician documented that no repairs or issues with the propertys plumbing connections were found. The connections were fully functional at move-in, and no pre-existing damage was reported during your initial inspection.

  As outlined in your lease agreement, the installation and hookup of tenant-owned appliances remains a tenant responsibility. The associated charge reflects the cost of the service visit performed at your request to assist with the washer installation.

  We appreciate your feedback and have ensured that all records accurately reflect the service performed.

  I am rejecting this response because: I was very clear on my work order what the issue was prior to them arriving if that was outside of your scope or there was a charge attached that shouldve been notified to me before the work was done. He took a look at the stripped tubes that were left on from the previous tenant still attached to the wall, he looked at the  problem took the tubes with them and they charged me $150 later I didnt receive another invoice regarding another work order that one of your maintenance men straight up lied and said that I left early to go tend to my son and try to charge me an additional $112 when he left on his own accord because he did not have the proper tools to handle the electrical issue so theres clearly a flaw in your system

  This company managed a property that I was seeking to rent. They took $3800, but did not complete their steps in the process of getting me into the property, resulting in my family becoming homeless for up to 30 days while they figured it out. When I sought housing elsewhere, they are informing me that I owe them an additional sum of money around $7000 because I broke the lease - on a townhouse that I am not able to access or live in.

  Regarding the ********************** (***), your lease clearly assigns compliance responsibility to the tenant. As stated in Section 10.1 *** Addendum:

  Same issue. I still havent received my money from the last complaint I placed. I wasnt satisfied with the response that was given from *********** All of that extra fluff without giving an answer as to when I will receive my money. If you, *** *****, were in my shoes, you would be doing the exact same thing as me trying to get what you deserve. And the so called assigned associate that you stated has been communicating with me hasnt been. She doesnt answer the phone nor emails. All I want is my money that I am Owed. My money that I spent because YOUR terrible company couldnt find people to repair the damages. It shouldnt take this long for a reimbursement/rent credit . Your responses mean nothing to me being that there is no solution.

  I have been having an insane amount of issues with my property manager. I am being charged for work on my house I'm renting out that was never done. I started reaching out and he said we are working on it over and over again this was 3 months ago and NO progress has been made. Now he doesn't answer my calls or emails and when I call into the front desk they say they are legally not allowed to transfer my call to anyone other than this property manager so I am currently paying $200 per month while they are also stealing money from me and I can't even get in touch with the guy. I have NEVER had such a bad experience with the company. i have caught them in lies multiple times.. caught their contractors overcharging me (I asked about pricing one time once they had already charged my account for the bill and they said... oh sorry that was a typo it shouldn't have been to high) and they have also charged my account for work that was never done... I need my money back and to move on but I can't even get in touch with them at this point.

  I currently reside in a property manager by Evernest Property management. I moved in 12/15/2023 and currently am living here. In December 2024 the electricity was taken out of my name and put into Evernest and in February 2025 the water was taken out of my name and put into Evernests name. I was able to put the utilities back in my name being charged $150 which I was told would be taken out of the rent which I have paid on time every month. The problem is that I am being charged for the utilities and the water plus $310 for late fees, plus the bills. I was told that I must pay $147 per month for the next three months. I explained how this was not my fault nor should I have to pay late charges. I will pay the water bills that I used, but the charges are so convoluted I don't know what is what. I also have had several tree branches fall on the roof, my car, and my neighbors house without them cutting the tree down. I also as for Evernest to replace the flooring in several parts of the house as they are cracked and I put rugs on top of them so my four year old wont cut her foot or me cut my foot again. I have documentation from all conversations associated with these issues. I was told that they will investigate; after taking six (6) to tell me about the utilities Evernest still did not tell me why this happened nor do they take responsibility for their mistakes.

  Hello Dikeeshea,

  This is ***** ******* from the Evernest Management Team. Im reaching out to provide an update and clarification regarding the concerns you recently raised.

  First, Id like to address your questions about the utility charges. Could you please clarify what you were informed when you contacted the water company? From our review, the bill was already forwarded to us and appropriately billed to your account. If you could provide more details on any remaining balance they mentioned, we would be happy to further investigate this for you.

  Regarding the escalation of your concerns, please know that your account and situation were thoroughly reviewed by both our management team and property owners. All the information I am relaying to you has been carefully considered and vetted through multiple levels of review to ensure accuracy.

  Lastly, Im pleased to inform you that the late fees previously charged to your account have been credited. Please note, however, that future late fees may still apply if there are outstanding balances on your account at the time rent is due.

  Thank you again for your patience and for allowing us the opportunity to work through these matters with you.

  I have been under this property management since August 2024.There have been electrical issues since I moved in. The light bulbs blow out and Im constantly replacing them. The breaker box trips constantly. I have reported these concerns to the management company and nothing has been resolved.Also, there were shelving units in the bedroom closet that were loose/improperly installed and they fell. Its three shelving units and each unit has had an issue. This is noted in my move in report. I have been charged $220 for a shelf to be fixed and reinstalled and also a shelf was improperly installed so I put in a maintenance request for that and was charged another $220. I have provided the company with video proof as well as photos and they keep denying the claim. I even emailed letting them know that the shelf didnt attach to the wall properly and I wanted to get it fixed without being charged and they told me to submit the request.I paid rent on 1/5. They took the maintenance fees from rent, and charged me a rent late fee. That was reversed but I was sent a pre eviction notice although its been paid. They have consistently refused to help me with the electrical issue. They also will not remove the fee. I feel as though I am being taken advantage of.

  All issues reported from the move-in date were promptly assessed and repaired, with no charges incurred by the tenant for these services.
  Below is a detailed timeline of the events regarding the closet shelves and an explanation of why the charge was applied to the tenant for the most recent repair:

  Initial Work Order (08/09/2024):
  The tenant reported an issue with the closet shelves, and we promptly dispatched a vendor to assess and repair the damage.
  The shelves were repaired, and we did not charge the tenant for this service. Attached are date-stamped photos showing the status of the shelves before and after the repair, as well as the invoice for this visit.

  Second Work Order (09/25/2024):
  The tenant reported the closet shelves falling again, and we dispatched a vendor for repairs.
  The shelves were repaired and properly installed once more. Again, the tenant was not charged for this service. Attached are date-stamped photos of the shelves before and after the repair, along with the corresponding invoice for this visit, demonstrating that they were left in proper working condition by the vendor.

  Third Work Order (11/15/2024):
  The tenant reported that the closet shelves had fallen once again.
  In our response to the tenant, we explained that if the issue was determined to be caused by misuse, abuse, or negligence, the tenant would be responsible for the repair costs, including any associated trip fees for missed appointments.

  Upon inspection, the vendor found that the shelves had been overloaded with excessive weight, which caused them to fall. Based on the evidence gathered, including date-stamped photos from previous repairs showing the shelves in good condition, it was clear that the recurring issue was due to tenant misuse.
  As a result, the tenant was charged for this repair. Attached are the date-stamped photos from the vendors inspection and repair, along with the invoice for this visit.

  It is important to note that the tenant was not charged for any previous work orders related to this issue. The decision to charge for the third repair was based on clear evidence and the repeated nature of the problem caused by overloading the shelves. All invoices from each vendor visit and repair have been included for your review.
