      My lease was set to expire on December 27th, but I moved out of my apartment October 31st. On November 14th, I went to the leasing office to give a money order of $2936.00, while I was there, I was told I owed an additional $50 fee because the oven needed cleaning after I left. I gave the office a $50 money order that same day and was told my balance was paid in full the assistant manager. I received a letter from *********************, a debt collector dated 12/3/24 trying to collect a balance of $95.24 for Reserve at *******************. the letter stated this balance was due on 11/1/24. I've reached out to the office manager and assistant manager several times, and no one has gotten back to me.

      Dear *******,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with your move-out experience.
      The charge that appeared after our conversation was a result of an inspection during the unit walk-through, where we found that the oven had not been properly cleaned. This prompted the cleaning charge. However, the collection company had initially removed the charge from the system prior to your visit to settle the balance. We acknowledge your payment of this balance, and we have since contacted the collection agency to have this charge removed from your credit immediately. For your reference, weve sent you confirmation via email showing that the matter has been resolved.
      We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we want to reassure you that we have taken the necessary steps to resolve it. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly at ************.
      Thank you for your understanding.

      I moved out of this apartment complex in April 2024. They have told me multiple times that a check was issued for a return of security deposit for $300. In September 2024 I was told they would send a tracking number as the checks were issued to their office and they would forward to my current address. After multiple follow **** I never heard from them again. I've sent emails and left voicemails and have been told I will receive a call back with the info needed, but have not heard from them since September.

      My disabled husband, was racially profiled by the courtesy officer, an action that felt both unjust and humiliating. We were unfairly issued a notice to "clean up our act or vacate" the premises, under the false accusation that we were smoking marijuana. This accusation was baseless, discriminatory, and damaging to our reputation.Additionally, despite paying our rent on time and consistently adhering to the rules, we were subjected to an ongoing pattern of intimidation and exclusion. This treatment was deeply hurtful and is a direct violation of our rights as residents and as human beings. It is clear that we were being singled out due to our race, which is unacceptable in any ************. ********* and ****** have demonstrated unprofessional conduct, often appearing intoxicated while on the job. On multiple occasions, they smelled of smoking marijuana during work hours, which directly affected their ability to perform their duties competently.Moreover, the presence of Candoshia ********, who is a current felon still on probation, raises serious concerns. Allowing an individual with such a background to work in an office handling sensitive tenant matters is both troubling and unethical. This practice not only compromises the integrity of the office but also places residents in a vulnerable position.

      I rented for 3 years from Hawthorne Residential Partners in ***********************. West end at city walk. I moved out on October 12th and have not received any correspondence regarding my security deposit. I have filled out the form on their website, and have left 3 voicemails. Florida requires landlords to submit a letter within 30 days of moving out of any charges to the tenant. *** *********

      A check (#****) was cut on 11/15/2024 and mailed to the following address:  ****************************************************  It does not appear that the check has been cashed as of yet.  Hawthorne Residential Partners no longer manages West End City Walk however if Mr. ********* can confirm his forwarding address, I can follow up with the new management company to put a stop payment on this check (check #****) and reissue him a new check. 

      Mr. ********* does not specify in his complaint the dates he called and left messages at the community and unfortunately with Hawthorne Residential Partners no longer managing this community I have no way to investigate his voicemail messages that were not returned.

       I am rejecting this response because: I stopped into the office at ******** on the last day that Hawthorne was managing the property.  I asked them why I had not received my security deposit since it was beyond 30 days since I moved out.  I was told there was a payable in the system to me and I confirmed the address was the new home I purchased in ****************  A couple weeks later I had not received the check so I went back to ******** and the new management company told me I would need to deal with Hawthorne.  I filled out the form on the Hawthorne website and waited for a response.  After no response I called Hawthorne and left a message 3 times over the following week and never received any response.  I filed a report with the BBB and now I get a response that the check was mailed to my former address at *********  During the move out, I was asked to provide my future mailing address to Hawthorne which I did.  I also confirmed with the office that they would be sending the security deposit to the address I provided.  I will stop by the office at ******** later this week and see if they will allow me access to my previous mailbox, assuming the unit has not been rented.  My biggest complaint is the lack of response from Hawthorne after leaving multiple messages on their website and phone.  This is total unacceptable.  If I cant gain access to the mailbox, I will need to make arrangements to get a new check which will probably require filing another complaint with the BBB since Hawthorne does not respond to messages left by former tenants.

      Hi, I understand your frustration and I am not sure where the miscommunication was with our team and your move out refund. All deposit accounting was posted prior to our management company leaving the property and posted. As of right now, we do not have access to see anything in the system,but I am happy to get with our previous accountant to see if there is a record of check number that stated it was mailed to you. Again, I apologize for this experience.

      Thank you for providing this information and feedback.   We have researched your complaints. The HVAC failure was reported on 6/28 and the Community Manager provided oversight of the repair that was completed on 6/30.  We understand equipment failures are a frustrating inconvenience; however it is our goal to make repairs in a reasonable time frame.  We are happy to further investigate a repair solution for the tear in your vinyl flooring.  The community provides clear instructions regarding gate use.  The exit gate should never be used as an entrance as this could cause an accident or damage to a vehicle or the gate. Your use of the exit as an entrance was observed by our management team.

      I submitted multiple maintenance requests to treat for roaches. I remember that they treated three times since I've been there. I submitted pictures of the roaches from different occasions. The pest control technician that came last said it could definitely be possible they're wandering over to my unit from other units, but he was sure that my unit wasn't the cause. After months of this problem, I brought up the ***** issue again on 9/3 to HRP and asked that they release me from the lease, and I would give them reasonable time to place a new tenant in my unit after they fix the problem. Unfortunately, they NEVER acknowledged my request or issue that was brought up again for over two months until I escalated it again to upper management. Not once have they apologized for ignoring my requests and they only want to try and resolve the ***** infestation.I have requested it six times (four by email and twice by text message) and they still have yet to acknowledge it.

      I used to reside at ********************** for almost 4 years. However, I have moved out of the unit effective 6/14/24. Since then, I have been advised by several people at the office including Former/Current Property Managers, Assistant Manager and front staff employees who advised me that I would be receiving a security deposit refund in the amount of $188.00 and the check should be in the mail to my new address or claiming that the ******************* company accountant department will ***** the check each time I have called. I have been calling the office since July inquiry about the security deposit check and have only received nothing but excuses. I want my money, what is so hard to pay me my security deposit?

      They have yet to pay my security deposit 11/1/2024. On top of that, they tried to falsely claim I lived in the unit days after my move out on 6/15/2024. I have personally been told multiple times they will fix the issues and send me a check but to no avail.

      On 9/13/2024, I applied to the Village Lofts on ****************, a Hawthorne property. My application was denied and per my correspondence (attached) with the leasing office, $200 out of the $275.00 paid would be refunded to me. Since this date, I have not received the refund. I have followed up with the property, as well as Hawthorne Residential Partners customer service and accounting departments. I have been told by the property that the refund was issued by the office, but that the accounting department was responsible for mailing the refund to my address. I was told a representative would contact me and this never happened. It is now 10/28/2024. The process should have taken 30 days or less according to property management. Most of the time, you cannot get in touch with a representative when you call the corporate office. I'm genuinely shocked because I have resided in a Hawthorne property before and considered them one of the higher quality residential properties. I would simply like my money refunded to me as promised. It is only ethical.

       I am rejecting this response because: it is now November 8th. When I spoke with the corporate office, it was nearly 3 weeks ago and I still have not received the alleged reissued check. Nor was I informed that an original check had ever been issued by accounting. Is the company implying that the check was lost in the mail? This should have been clarified. Also, I verified my mailing address. I do not trust this companys business practices and will keep my complaint open until payment is received. Thank you.

      When I became aware of the black mold growing on my air vent, I sent an email to the office. They said they would send someone. Weeks went by and they said they are working on it, within those weeks I sent photo proof of all the mold growing on almost all the air vents, refrigerator, my furniture, on my clothes and other things. They still didnt care, but I couldnt stay no longer due to my anxiety getting worse, headaches when entering my apartment, not being able to sleep, having to leave my dog somewhere else since I noticed changes with my dog. So I left a few days before September. I turned in my keys September 1st, but theyre charging me one month of rent due to leaving. I understand I had a lease for a year. They failed to help fix this situation. The bill got sent to collections and I dont intend on paying since it shouldnt be only my fault. I would at least want my money back from August rent and not paying the amount they said.

      There was no issue resolved so I had to no choice but to vacant. I didnt wish to leave but then again I had a dog and I was becoming very ill. Would you stay in a place that black mold was growing on all air vents and refrigerator? I had to leave for my health and because this business couldnt help resolve it. All I got from them was, were still waiting. I had no other choice. If they had offered to switch my apartment to another one the moment I brought this to their attention it wouldnt have been a problem. In the state of **, its illegal to have a tenant living with mold present. I will be getting attorneys involved if this issue isnt resolved.
