      I need the CEO from CYM Living (formerly) Pangea *********** to contact me and discuss this urgent matter it is not my fault that I was kicked out of the *** program.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have stated to CYM Living that I had an appointment June 20, 2022 with their 71st street office, I met with the office manager and clerk I handed my 100plus page documents section 8 voucher they reviewed and completed the *** packet they made a copy for me and said they would forward my packet to their subsidy department but subsidy said they never received the packet from CYM Living 71st office, because *** failed to send my voucher to subsidy CYM Living caused me to be kicked out of the *** Program. *** has done nothing wrong, however CYM Living has caused me to lose my voucher and no one from CYM Living has corrected the problem to adjust my rent. Again, CYM Living did not do their job.

      Sincerely,

      Ive have been with CYM since they have been Pangea . The current unit Im in had a starting rent of $1,060. Year 2 came and then the rent increased to $1,080 totally fine bc this is ********** housing so that still affordable year 3 the rent INCREASED dramatically to $1,165 Im confused why my rates keep going so high when my downstairs neighbors have no rental assistance like myself and are still paying a Lower price. THIS IS ********** ! We live over east not up north! I know Chicago doesnt have rent control but the fact that we are in the same building with the same amenities which are none. I would like a detailed explanation on itemized pricing . I will be reaching out to the office again tomorrow but as a business that isnt offering any more or any less to anyone in the same building how can that be ? The pricing on the renewal letter is also incorrect it makes no sense that for 15 months its $1185 but for 14 its $1175 yall are pulling numbers out the sky . That makes no sense . I have attached my neighbors offers and my offer below to show the BIG gaps in what they offered me and offered her . My income has not changed !

      Good afternoon, when you resigned your lease, it was for 6 months. That lease amount was the basis for the most recent rent calculation resulting in a higher amount.

      I live in " ********* on 79th" in ************ In , I've been trying to get maintenance to address mold and broken appliances for months now. Every time I call the office no one answers. I went into the office multiple times and no one in there is ever helpful , telling me the same thing "maintenance will be over to fix it", they never do. I had to wait 6 months for maintenance to come and fix the leak under the kitchen sink which caused mold . I've now been waiting 4 months for them to come back and address the mold. My dryer has now stopped working and its been an absolute nightmare to get in touch with maintenance and the office. I've had to go into the office multiple times within the past three weeks for the same thing. ******** (office staff) told me to " file a lawsuit , and to stop coming into the office". She told me that no one would be coming to fix the dryer . She told me this while I was standing in her face calling the office phone just to come to realization that the ringer was turned off/ silenced and that's why none of the over 1000 calls I made to them weren't answered . Rent is $1300 , and this unit comes with a washer and dryer just to not be able to use it . At this point I'm looking for a decrease in rent , or something prorated until these issues are resolved . I feel very ignored and neglected as a paying tenant.

      Did not hold up to its deal. After having us pay for a credit check and was denied the company lied about speaking with us on the phone. We called them and then was told to write a letter regarding the denial of the application. Its not on the website nor when you speak with a representative seeing the apartment. You then will be denied have to call and tells you speak with the property for more information. You follow the steps and then they tell you submit a letter in writing. After they took your money.

      Requests for denial reasons must be made in writing. This is a regulation from the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced in your search for an apartment.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      On the 17th I saw units at 7930 s ingleside. The 2 units I saw on ingleside I picked the second floor unit on the 18th . When I texted my property manager ******* he called me verified and I was told that the unit will be off the market for me to move in as soon as possible . On the 23rd I was told to come sign my lease . While I was there I was told that someone signed the lease for the apartment I picked on the 21st and they were moving in on the 28th. I was told to come back at 2pm so they can figure somethings out . When I came back at 2pm I was never told I was signing a lease on a new unit that I didnt pick or seen yet. I thought this was the 2nd floor unit I seen. When I was moving my things in the apartment is when I notice this was not the same 2nd floor unit I seen on the 17th. Moving my things in I seen roaches and I am very upset.
