  My original application was approved and then canceled and I was forced to put the lease in my guarantors name and my name removed. I was told a refund of my deposit and application fees was sent on 12/8/22 and still have not received it. There are also signs of break-ins at the unit from wear and tear around the lock. Also I never got a laundry card to wash clothes. For these reasons I am contacting you. Please help me arrange a meeting with property management where I can collect a check for my deposit and application fees; then revert the leasing agreement back to the original which was cancelled.

  The applicant address on file was incorrect and the refund ultimately did not deliver. Our leasing staff has been in touch with the individual and is coordinating for a pick-up of the refund in the main office (266 Pearl Street). Accounting is currently working on getting the refund expedited and out to the Hartford office.

  Multiple instances of poor management such as not fixing the A/C unit, rat infestation, animal feces both in and around the property, no running water, denying access to facilities promised by the apartment like the gym and most recently flooding in a fire escape during a fire alarm. I want to be compensated from this business and be released from this lease without penalty due to the substantial evidence I have of all proving these instances. Contacting the leasing office has not yielded any solutions or compensation and some residents and myself are planning to file a lawsuit against this property if my demands aren't met and compensated fairly due to all the failures of the property group and the emotional distress I have experienced while living here.

  ******************,
  
  Thank you for your email. We take resident complaints very seriously and are disappointed to hear that ************************* is having a negative experience with us. We will work to improve upon that experience. 
  
  On Saturday 1/14, a resident in the building tripped a sprinkler head while moving a couch. Our on call team and emergency vendors were on site same day. Unfortunately, a temporary water shut off did occur. Additionally, the stair towers did take some water, but our team immediately began mitigation. 
  
  The Portfolio Manager, *********************, will reach out to ************************* today to discuss the hvac and other complaints. If a resident experiences hvac outages, we offer portable hvac or a hotel accommodation, and depending on the extent of the issue, a credit may be issued, which *** will also discuss with **** today.
  
  Regarding the pest and animal feces complaints, we were unaware of such complaints from this resident. We appreciate this being brought to our attention, and *** will address this with **** when he reaches out. Our third party pest company will be called as well. 
  
  Regarding the temporary fitness center closure, due to a security concern, we closed the fitness center at night for a couple weeks. The issue has been resolved, and the space has been reopened for nighttime use.  We apologize for this inconvenience. 
  
  Please let us know if you want to discuss this further over the phone, in person, or however is best for you. Thank you for reaching out to us. 

  Best,

  There’s been a severe lack of communication between myself and the property manager, Beth, who’s everything but kind. Fast forward to last week I was told to bring a money order for 375.20$ just to get to the office for her to look surprised as if she didn’t know I was coming and what I was coming for. Now I have to wait 30 days for Western Union to refund me and they’re taking a courtesy fee of 30$! I just endured a rough time and she knows that so to play around with someone’s money and give them false information with no resolution is just trifling and shows how nasty her character is. I want my 375.20 refunded back to me asap or a courtesy be added to my account for this XXXXXXXX. I tried calling the corporate office and got the complete run around, just a messy sloppy XXX company.

  They were set for eviction and it was overturned due to them paying in full at the attorney.  
  
  I spoke to him and emailed him that although they paid at the attorney as of 9/14/22 he still had a balance due with us of $375.20 which we agreed he could pay with Oct. rent. 
  
  On Oct. 7th he stopped by with a money order and after giving it to me said I should be good now, because I paid the full balance on **** ***.  
  
  So I looked up his ledger while he was here and said Yes, you paid in full on **** *** so we can apply this as a credit to Nov.  He then took the money order back and said No, Im not paying that until later.  
  
  He then came back and asked what to do with the money order since it is made out to us and I said with he receipt he should be able to get his money back or he could cross through it and pay it to himself or someone else if he didn't want us to apply it to the account. Unhappy with that answer he left and told me how “unhelpful” I was.Tell us why here...

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: YOU ARE UNHELPFUL because you saw my ledger prior to me coming into the office and you could’ve told me that it was up to date but you waited until I was in your office, you then wrote on the money order then reviewed my account to tell me that everything is up to date and you don’t know how to refund money orders. If that doesn’t sound unhelpful and not customer service friendly then that’s on you. If you were ever unsure about what I was paying, you could’ve looked up my account prior to writing on the money order but that’s not what you did. I have the original money order; you can clearly see it’s not my handwriting. At this point, I don’t care about the refund. I’m glad my grievances will be public and further show how people shouldn’t live through PMC Properties.

  PMC Property Group charged predatory prices for utilities to my roommate and me for months despite constant requests to explain the charges and relieve the charges. We asked them to test the energy meter, to inquire with the utilities provider, and to deliver credits to us. We were met with false appeasements by their "staff", who repeatedly told us they would honor these requests but clearly intended to make us go away. Ours was not an isolated incident, as the tenants below our unit had the same complaints and originally tipped us off that they were following up with the property group to get refunds. I believe they got refunds for one month, but after the resignation of a property staff worker, this refund initiative was cut off and no further action was taking despite more complaints. To protect ourselves against these charges, which reached as high as $364.71 for 1/14-2/14, we would live under basic means such as keeping the heat on at night and keeping off lights even if we were in a room. Still the high charges ensued. The final straw for me was the $211.16 electric charge we received for 7/13-8/12, of which only 4 days we collectively lived in the apartment. I'm attaching select charges and correspondence with the property group below.

  Landlord / tenant dispute. Landlord has not provided working HVAC for nearly 3 months in the dead of summer. From end of May til current time (mid-August). Issue is on-going. Landlord lies and says the problem is being actively worked on but it is not.

  Business Response

  Date: 08/15/2022

  Hello,

  We apologize for the inconvenience. Contractors have been on site each time a work order was submitted. Unfortunately, over the course of the summer there have been a few issues with the system that have effected the usage.

  We have been in constant communication with the resident (emails sent via **** *** ), have offered fans, and offered reimbursement for alternative housing (hotel). The resident does not want to stay elsewhere.
  

  We have credited $852 for their AC outages and will continue to do so if issues arise.

  Thanks,

  Management

  I moved into the ******************* in Baltimore, Maryland in January 2021. The experience has been an absolute nightmare compounded by a rude and disrespectful property manager, ******. I have interacted with ****** and ******* (who has left the company) very well and they were pleasant talk to. I had an invalid parking charge added of $2380.65 on 12/9/2021. This was not correct and ****** had added a credit of $1760.00 on 1/18/2021 to reflect this. A late charge of $130.26 was added on 1/12/2022 on the invalid parking balance of $2605.26. I have been emailing for the past 2 months with no response from ******. After finally reaching ****** after a week of calling, I explained the situation and if she could please fix it. ****** proceeded to be extremely rude and blatantly lied when she told me she has been emailing me about the situation since January 2022. I never brought the issue up until a few months ago, so I am not sure how this is possible. She yelled at me and started telling me this isn't her problem and upper management were the people not responding. I asked why she was being rude and she proceeded to further condescend me saying she was not in charge, even though she was the one who I talked to about the issue. ****** then told me to call the collection company, who I had already called and they directed me to PMC so they can change the amount. She then sends me an email less than an hour after hanging up on me (not the first time she has hung up on me). I find this highly unlikely that upper management would not respond for months to her emails, then all of a sudden they have "internally reviewed" my account and deemed there are no issues with it. This was done in spite and I am not sure why. I am simply attempting to pay the balance because it includes utility bills that are valid. My other issues include move-in which was a nightmare and there was an internal conflict between *** (old employee) and ******. This is unprofessional and a bad look on PMC.

  Hello,

  We spoke with this resident last week and have updated his collection invoice. This issue should be resolved, and the former resident should have withdrew this complaint. Pease let me know if this is not the case.

  Thanks,

  I have lived at this apartment for almost two years and my experience with this company has been nothing but negative. At the beginning of winter last season the heat went out for approximately 2 months with no sight of being fix. After several attempts to contact the office to fix the issue no one responded and maintenance gave me a temporary space heater. Fast forward to this summer April 26th 2022 the ac went out and has been faulty all summer. My apartment reached a record of 100 degrees in the unit. Once again i sent of many maintenance request for the issue to be fixed and nothing has changed. On 8/5/2022 i began showing symptoms of heat stroke and was admitted to the hospital. I contacted emergency management to get a portable ac but all they gave was a fan which circulated hot air. This company is constantly ignoring complaints from tenets and is dragging their feet on fixing the building AC during the hottest season of the year.

The resident has received two credits in the amounts of $537.33 and $746.25 for the inconvenience. We will continue to address the hvac issues in a timely manner and we apologize about the inconvenience. We are doing everything we can to resolve the issue in a timely manner.
