I initially signed up for pad split for its resources. My first move in was postponed and I was told that I wouldn't be charged, then told they dont offer refunds. I had to threaten legal action because they wouldn't listen to a call I had with there rep, that stated I wouldn't be charged as long as I never stepped foot on the property. This issue was escalated after a week and a half, to someone who promised I wouldn't have issues as such any longer. I believed her, Fast forward I moved into an actual unit the 1st of September. Padsplit has a three key system, first key removal is a warning, second key removal is a possible fine, third key removal is termination of membership and not being able to use their platform any longer. Not even a full week, I a key removed for having guest, the pad split listing as well as the host of the actual home both state guest are allowed, even overnight guest. Its 9/21/22, my second key was removed, with all the proof im supplying they refuse to reinstate my keys. The platform will call out people by entire name when bills are overdue and they need to be kicked out the house by members, but when they receive complaints that jeopardize the ability to use the platform, they dont say where they come from nor share the proof. I am the only person in the house thats getting penalized, its discriminatory.. The platform states both guest and overnight guest are allowed, proof attached.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: It solves no issues. I was robbed by another palmate, Called the cops, and ** being kicked out and my membership terminated. I have several police reports involving ********. Each time, PadSplit did NOTHING, for my safety. The continued too removed keys which now forces me out on my own. I want a refund for my entire stay if I'm not receiving the keys that were wrongfully taken away. I live in a house full of racist, the police reports state this! But they listen to anonymous complaints from members that hate people of my race and origin.
Sincerely,

There are so many complaints I have with this location. 4 men who live here have made my life h*** Ive dealt with nonstop harassment from day one. Everytime I pay for my room my roommate goes into full indirect attacks with blasting his TV and playing music loud after hours, trying to force my hand to leave. 2 men downstairs ****** and ******** constantly have guests here and they are not supposed to. People smoke in the house but its not regular smoke it smells like burning rubber. They turned the electricity off for 3 days straight and gave me less than 1 weeks payment for the room and didnt give me a notice. During the week the electricity was turned off Though I had to work from home I had to find a place to work because there was no WiFi.( I was written up aswell). Whats even more funny is right after the electricity issue they have been nonstop activity at the house. The laundry room door is closed because thats where they have people come in at. There is someone who stays in Jonathans room when he leaves for work. The 4 other cars thats here were taken down and only mine is displayed as registered because if anyone gets in trouble my car is the only one here. I dont know these people in this house but they know each other and gang up on me and play manipulation and harassment games. Someones surround sound TV is extra loud at night when they have guests over. There is sexual activities that go on and is heard but we are not to have any guests but Im the only one who abides by this. I would like a full refund for all of these months. This company put my life in danger and the head tenant is the one recruiting his friends to live here and go against the rules.Business Response

I rented a room from Padsplit based on the location of the room. The initial posting stated it was located in downtown ************, **., but the room was located on the Eastside, which is a really bad neighborhood and I didn't feel safe there. Then I transfered to a second room (only because I was told by a PadSplit Representative Ozge, that I would not receive a refund), but this room was also located in a high crime area.Based on PadSplit's company guidelines, this is one of the reasons to receive a refund, but I was told I'm not getting one, although I'm entitled to one.-The home's listing details on the platform are incorrectBusiness Response

I rented a room from Padsplit. Within the first ten minutes of moving in, I called the customer service line to report a discrepancy. The property was advertised for up to 5 occupants, but there were 9 rooms. In addition to the false advertisement, I reported that I was locked out of my room. The lock situation was resolved, but not the false advertisement which is my major concern. I am never allowed to speak to management, the refund policy is a trap, and in the middle of telling the customer service rep about my troubles with their service, the representative hung ** in my face! Very unprofessional! These inconveniences have grown into safety issues, with me being locked out my home with a dead phone, and potentially stranded on the street with no resources. Padsplit must be run by thieves/scammers who seek to take advantage of home-vulnerable people. Based on my experience, I would NEVER recommend this business. Theyre lying, cheating, rude, predatory thieves.Business Response

We sincerely appreciate the Members feedback. Our purpose is to help solve the affordable housing crisis by leveraging housing as a vehicle for financial empowerment. We respect and care about our Members and have already contacted this Member about his concerns. Due to his move-in issue, and although the Member rejected our offer, we already issued him credit for his move-in day. Our website lists room descriptions, the number of available rooms, PadMate information, and more. We are deeply sorry the Member expected a smaller PadSplit. Although he is not eligible for a refund, we offered him a no-cost transfer to a smaller home. As always, he is welcome to contact Member Support. - PadSplitInitial Complaint
