      Apartment we are renting from is not providing amenities we are paying rent for. Internet and printer in clubhouse do not work. After several emails to management within the last 3 months no reply. Previous manager is not with the company anymore. Reached out to the regional manager ***** ***** via email and voicemail, no response. Simple things as no brush to clean the grills in the common area, the water cleaning station being broken and when inputting a work order, the response given is we dont have the budget to fix things. Pool and pool area have not been cleaned in a long time. This is leading to concern about our assurance of having a place to live at if they are not managing their budget for even little items like such.The rent we are paying increases every year, but the property management/ameneties are decreasing every year. Unfortunately no employee that has administrative responsibility/authority is available to talk with and no response from the regional manager.

      Resident requested to transfer in November with waived transfer fee. That request was denied. 

      In regard to the complaints listed on the BBB complaint:

      Residents do not pay for amenities. Amenities are free for all residents. 

      Pool is professionally cleaned by a third-party company 3x per week in compliance with SC state law. 

      Computer in clubhouse is functioning correctly. There is an issue with the AT&T wifi that is being worked on with AT&T. The printer is connected to the wifi that AT&T is trying to restore. Resident is able to email any documents they would like to be printed to the staff, and they are able to print for them.

      New grill cleaning tools have been ordered and will be placed at the **************** once received for resident use.

      I emailed this corporation on 4/17/25 regarding the lack of safety and care provided by their apartment complex - Millworks in *******, **. During my time living here this complex has experienced 3 car break-ins, with me or someone close to me being affected during 2 of the 3 mentioned. I have contacted the apartment complex multiple times regarding safety and they have not shown any improvement in the amount of security provided nor do they seem to care! On top of that, upon moving in, my apartment was extremely filthy and had a horrible gnat infestation that has caused me health problems I did not have before. I am a young woman who lives alone, and I am a nurse. I spend all day caring for people and it is disheartening that my complex does not care for me. I emailed the corporate office to try to resolve this issue but due to the lack of response, I am prepared to take further steps. I am asking the BBB to help resolve this matter and force the corporation to respond and deal with this issue head on. Thank you in advance.

      I am writing to formally file a complaint against Continental Realty Corporation regarding ongoing security failures at [Apartment Complex Name], which have led to multiple crimes, including theft and violent incidents. Despite repeated concerns from residents, management has refused to take meaningful action to improve safety.I have personally been a victim of vehicle-related crime twice, with the wheels stolen off my car on two separate occasions. Other residents have also had their wheels stolen, and alarmingly, one resident was even held at gunpoint during a carjacking. These incidents have created an unsafe living environment for all tenants.Continental Realty Corporation has failed to take basic security measures such as hiring security personnel or fully enclosing the parking garage to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, management has not even provided residents with email notifications or updates about these incidents, leaving many unaware of the ongoing threats. Their negligence has allowed these crimes to continue unchecked, putting the safety of residents and their property at ******* paying tenants, we expect a reasonable level of security, especially in a residential community with a gated parking area. Continental Realty Corporations inaction is unacceptable. I am seeking the BBBs assistance in holding them accountable and urging them to take the necessary steps to protect their residents.Please let me know if you need any additional details or documentation regarding these incidents. I appreciate your time and attention to this serious matter and look forward to your response.

      I am rejecting this response because: it doesnt matter if you didnt know about it before you know about it now. You all need to do something about it to remedy the problem, such as hiring security or putting in enclosed garage. Otherwise we will need to leave because we dont feel safe.

      I lived at one of their apartments in Kenilworth at ******* (******, **). I was having issues with my roommate so after speaking to her, we both agreed on having my name removed from the lease on 1/28/25 and her taking full responsibility for it. I submitted the addendum request to the leasing office the very next day informing them that I would be removed from the lease 2/28/25. I didnt hear back from anyone so I went down to the leasing office and spoke to ***** and ***** and they informed me that they were working on it. They gave me the paperwork and what we needed to do to start and finish the process. I and my roommate have completed our part of the process but currently (3/7/25) my name has still not been removed from the lease. Every time I call, they keep giving me stories and saying that theyre going to call/reach out with an update, which they dontits only when I call that theyll send out an email shortly after with an update reiterating the same information they gave me over the phone. I have moved out of the apartment officially 3/1/25 and its still back and forth trying to get my name removed. I have now vacated the property and have been away for almost two weeks. However, my name is still on the lease, and I have not yet been contacted to finalize the addendum. It was agreed upon and written down as a note by the leasing office that Im off the lease but due to legal reasons, I would like to officially finalize the process. I was also informed that with what my roommate provided as proof of income, that she is approved to live on her own. The two ladies at the leasing office seem to never be on the same page about any of the updates. One will be aware and the other has no clue of what is going on.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have not received the official lease addendum from the leasing office. I went to the leasing office on Tuesday (3/18/25) and signed my part of the agreement and made the $500 administrative fee payment. I was told that what I signed is the unofficial copy and once the manager along with my roommate sign the paper then it will be official and I will receive a copy for my records. As of today (3/20/25), I have not received that official document/confirmation. Thank you for your speedy response to this matter!

      in 10/22/2024 i toured ************** in search of an apartment. I met with ******* ******* leasing agent who provided the tour. Once the tour was complete I met with the Property Manager ******* who provided information on denials approvals and associated fees. ******* advised holding/reservation fee of $250.00 is refundable if denied but the application fee of $25.00 would not be On 10/21/2024 I submitted my application via the website for ******** along with the application the fee of $275.00 . I received the confirmation that the application was submitted as the money was received . Two days later i called to check the status of the application and was advised by ******* it was denied and to call rent grow for an explanation. Once calling rent grow i was asked to verify my social security number . The *** then advised he had a different number from what i provided. He also advised that my address that was submitted from Dartmoor was incorrect. Neither the social or the address was what i provided when filling out the application. i called the leasing office back to advise if my findings . When ******* attitude changed and conversation became real short that she would run it again. this time it only took her five minutes to run it with the correct information. Before asking about the refund of my holding /reservation ******* disconnected the call. I called back the line just rang . I made several attempts to ******** to obtain information about the $250.00 refund. Three days later the line was answered by another lady who stated she was the manager and that the refund could take up to 45 days. I asked for the number for corporate only to be told she didnt have a number for corporate to ****** it .Days later i spoke with ******* the property manager who stated it would be sent for a refund and it would take up to 30 days. The address for the refund was also provided . I have not received my refund or been able to reach anyone at the office .

      I rent my office space from CRC, and have done so for 14 yrs. THere have been structural building failures/issues for 2 years, which have led to water damage and mold issues in my office - which is a pediatric office, where we do health care and cannot have mold present. After 2 yrs of investigation and attempted mitigation (at my own expense), my expert consultant realized the outside wall (EIFS) structure was failing and was likely the cause of the issue. The landlord (CRC) is responsible for the outside structure, as per our signed lease. I had spent 160k to date on these issues over 2 yrs, out of my own personal funds. I attempted to use a lawyer and solve this amicably, since my lease expires in 2027. My attempt to negotiate with CRC has been going on for almost a year now, and has cost me another 23k in legal fees. CRC has completely ignore my communications, my lawyer and any attempt to discuss and settle this issue. In fact, my attorney has sent at least 10 emails on separate occasions within the last 2 months, that has been no response. There has been no attempt to negotiate or even keep me informed of plans to repair the EIFS which i believe is still failing. CRC has breached their duty as a landlord to keep my office safe and habitable for my patients and my staff. As a tenant, it has been very frustrating and i have been an excellent tenant for 14 yrs. I find their lack of response and respect to be completely unprofessional and in very bad character. I will not renew my lease here, and wanted others to know. They know there are issues with this building and have not repaired them or taken action to prevent further issues. They refuse to share their own expert's report, and continue to refuse to answer my contacts or those of my laywer. To date, i have paid 160k to remediate and 23k in legal fees over the past 3 yrs. I am willing to split the cost with them, but they refuse to engage in any discussion or adequately fix this building.
