  PadSplit is a housing management company. PadSplit offers no solutions when the landlord does not address maintenance issues. I have been in a home in ********* with no heating in the basement, rats in the walls and a fire hazard. Ive complained to the landlord and he has done nothing but tell me that Im lying. The landlord never comes to the home. When I addressed PadSplit about this, they say to contact the landlord. PadSplit has many listings where the home will have over 10 bedrooms but only 2 or 3 bedrooms. These people chop up their homes to fit as many people as possible for maximum profit.

  Dear ******,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us at PadSplit. We truly appreciate your engagement as we work together to address the housing challenges in our community and promote financial empowerment.
  
  We have discussed your concerns with the Host several times, and they have responded accordingly. Our team has confirmed that the heating system is functioning correctly.
  
  However, we completely understand that living in a co-living space can come with challenges, and you still have the option of a free transfer if you want to explore that. We respect the **************** in managing their homes to ensure everyones safety and comfort.
  
  If you decide to take advantage of the free transfer, please feel free to reach out to us at *********************************** and we will be happy to assist you further.
  
  Thank you for being a valued member of the PadSplit community!

  Complaint: 23006560
  
  I am rejecting this response because PadSplit has not made a reasonable effort. The owner comes by the home biweekly at most and stays for 15 minutes. How can someone who comes in the afternoon with a jacket and hat on determine if its cold in the room? I showed the my thermometer which clearly shows that the room is not at 70 degrees. I shouldnt have to live in a freezing home with rats. The first transfer is already free. So saying that you offered a free transfer for my troubles is crazy. If the landlord actually took care of his home, he would know that there is a major fire hazard in his home. Very easy to spot if he actually took care of the home. That home is cold, filled with rodents and has a major fire hazard. PadSplit literally does nothing except collect money. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** ********

  On 2/12/2025 I informed PadSplit along with ************** (Property managers) of a flood I was experiencing due to a pipe, (which I had previously complained about) bursting in the room above me private bathroom. Due to the nature of which the water was pouring out of the ceiling, as well as the light fixture, I asked the host(**************) for a temporary room change to allow time for cleanup and my original room to dry out. *** agreed to transfer me to room#4. I never transferred to *******, instead I rejected the room transfer after returning back to the house at ********************************* from staying at a hotel for two nights out of frustration. Upon my return, I opened my resident portal on 2/15/2025 to. pay my weekly rental rate of ****** only to realize that a balance of ****** was on the portal. I never agreed to a price increase, nor was I ever informed of a rate increase prior to my request for a temporary room transfer. I immediately emailed PadSplit, inquiring as to why was i being charge more on top of being given a late fee of ***** for a price increase I never agreed upon, nor was informed previously? PadSplit support ***** ********* informed me that the host (**************) had sent me an email on 2/13/2025 informing me of a price increase , in which I informed him that No such email exist with a price increase. I have copies of all email, text, resident portal respondents, which prove I wasn't made aware of the increase until it was time to pay my normal rate of ******. The pipe bursting was not due to anything I had done, but, I am being repeatedly inconvenienced due to ************** and PadSplit negligence . I am being charged an extra ***** and PadSplit and ************** are refusing to remove the late fee, theyre refusing to restore my correct room number and room rate back to ******.

  This company has charged completely excessive fees in regards to a move out 2 months ago that is unwarranted. Despite best efforts to negotiate terms this company has proven unwilling and uncooperative which could be in violation of State real estate laws. I demand reasonable resolution to this issue speaking with a supervisor or manager with the company who can assist.

  Thank you for your feedback, *******. We understand this outcome was not what you wanted. Part of PadSplit's ability to offer flexible housing options includes requiring Member stay commitment. We know that sometimes Member needs change which is why we allow Members to break their commitment with a penalty fee. Once your outstanding balance is paid you are welcome to return to a PadSplit. Please contact our Member Support team directly if you have additional questions or concerns regarding this.

  I tried to apply to become a member to utilize PadSplit services. From the beginning I had issues with the website. I used a paper copy of my website as my license was lost. I obtained a new license. In the state of Texas the paper given is the official copy and I used that. I called in to support and a young lady told me to send in a picture of my actual license in a selfie and the front/back of the license. I even made a new account to see if that particular application was the issue. It did not work. I called several times during this process and talked to support telling them my issue and they intentionally lied that I submitted all documents, when I was not even able to scan my new id, let alone upload any financial information ****** one would help me and no one tried to resolve the issue with the portal a technical issue not my fault. They misappropriated the application and never resolved my issue nor tried to help by going through the application and resolving the issue where I cannot continue to upload or scan anything.

  Thank you for your feedback, *****. We understand co-living is not for everyone and sometimes PadMates will not follow our rules and can create an uncomfortable environment, which is one reason why we offer a flexible transfer policy if Members don't want to wait for someone to be managed out of a property. We're sorry to hear you had a negative experience and I see we were able to waive some of your outstanding balance. Please contact our Member Support team directly if you would like to discuss this further or have additional concerns.

  Thank you for your feedback, Shaheed. I see your Host is in contact with the property regarding getting these maintenance issues resolved. I also see we offered you a free transfer to another PadSplit if your current property is not meeting your expectations. We recommend using our flexible transfer policy if your current Host is not addressing your concerns to your satisfaction. Please contact our Member Support team directly if you have additional questions or concerns regarding this.
