In association with one of their properties, I signed a yearly rental agreement. In which a number of agreements were made including being in a smoke free environment. My personal space, which I have faithfully rented for 6 months, has been filled with marijuana smoke on a daily basis from neighboring tenants. Property management refuse to take any action and refuse to respond to direct communications. The space which I continue to rent is unliveable, literally unliveable as it is constantly filled with smoke, a fact I cannot fix myself.Customer Answer

The management company contacted me stating they were speaking with legal counsel and would get back to me when they have a course of action. It has been a month and despite an email from me last week, they remain unresponsive. They have not gotten back to me and the original issue of marijuana smoke in my apartment persists. I would like to reopen the complaint as they have returned to their radio silence and have taken no action(s).Business Response

I have been attempting to resolve the rental increase issue since March, as I find the proposed increase to be excessive. I have communicated to the office that I cannot afford the new rate and would like to negotiate, as I believe the pricing does not accurately reflect the unit I occupy. Furthermore, I find the annual 15% rent increase to be unreasonable. After receiving no assistance from the office, I contacted corporate multiple times until local management finally responded. I expressed my concerns, which led to a discussion about maintenance issues that should have been promptly addressed. These include a leaking air conditioning unit in the bedroom, causing water damage and an unpleasant odor, as well as an unsafe electrical issue with the bathroom exhaust fan that consistently leaks water. Despite multiple service calls, these problems remain unresolved. Maintenance personnel have repeatedly stated the need for specialized vendors or roofers, yet no one has come to properly fix the issues. Instead, they have focused on superficial solutions such as repainting the water-stained area around the exhaust fan, neglecting to address the underlying problems.Business Response

I am disputing a final balance of $8,470.35 charged by my landlord for Apartment **** at Avana West Hill. I vacated the unit on October 25, 2024, after providing proper written notice to terminate my lease early under the buyout clause. Upon vacating, I was expecting a corrected final balance to proceed with the buyout payment within the required 7-day period. However, the initial move-out summary included incorrect charges, such as double rent for overlapping periods and an unexplained $1,981.29 rent charge.
I reached out to the landlord’s finance team multiple times, between November 19, 2024, and January 30, 2025, via email and in person at the leasing office, requesting clarification and correction of the charges. Despite my efforts, no corrected statement was provided in a timely manner, and I was unable to proceed with the buyout payment as a result. Now, over five months later, I am being told I owe an excessive amount of nearly $8,500, which I find unjustified given my efforts to resolve the issue in good faith.
I am requesting that the incorrect charges be removed, a corrected final balance be issued, and my account be closed without penalty, as I acted in good faith throughout this process and believe the charges are unreasonable.Business Response

I was charged a second $500 security deposit without written notice after transferring units. My lease says deposits are due before move-in, but I wasn’t asked until after moving. $86.06 I paid for water and sewer was misapplied to this second deposit. I also received a $200 parking ticket due to poor snow management and no available spaces. Lastly, I only got $460 of my original $500 deposit back, months after my lease ended, with deductions for wear-and-tear and cleaning, even though the apartment did not pass inspection before I left. I’ve requested $1,361.06 total.Business Response

I currently am a resident of The Monterra apartment complex in Austin, TX and have been for two years. I am being charged $1,651 monthly for my rent for a 748 sq ft unit. The Issue I am reporting began on 2/13/25 when I received a notice for early renewal of my lease, I first communicated with the leasing office on 2/24 stating my interest in a unit.
I went to the leasing office where I spoke to a leasing agent on or around 3/1/25 and inquired about getting a certain price on a unit that was lower than mine, to which she responded that as long as I have a screenshot of the unit price they would be able to honor it even if it changed.
I returned to the leasing office on 3/5/25 the unit I was interested in had been leased out and when I arrived, I attempted to talk to the leasing agent but the Assistant Manager; Manali asked me to step into the office where we talked about me preferring to stay in my current apartment and just adjust to the current market rate to save the hassle of moving to a different unit in the same property for the lower price; but I was told "that decision was made above the property management level. I sent a follow up email to Manali documenting my request and intent regarding getting my rent lowered to match the current market value of multiple larger units (819 sq ft) that was going for $1,141.
After a week of not hearing back (3/10/25) I put in a tentative transfer request to another apartment of the same size that faces mine for $1,270 which allowed my current apartment to be put up for lease. This put my unit on the market at $1,380 which I amended the transfer request to keep the same unit that same week.
At this I had no communication for over two weeks at which point a new property manager was brought on and the market value went up to an average of $1,350 after an additional week (3/18/25) was the offer that he made. I signed a lease today (4/3/25) to prevent the rate from going even higher on me as the deadline was approaching.Business Response

I applied for an apartment on March 9th was denied on the 10th due to a false statement on my credit report. I disputed. Before dispute I asked for my monies to be refunded which I was told would be sent by check. I called several times after that being it’s ridiculous that I’m in the process of moving that it would be sent by check not to mention I was informed that my eldest son who is autistic should not have had to pay a fee. I received no response. It’s not over 6 weeks and with information that denied me being lifted I was informed that my check will be cut this week so even though I was now approved for the property it’s too late. I asked when it would be mailed and told they don’t know. I would like to know my rights and what laws in Nevada regarding the above. The people at the property are inadequate, uninformed and laughable. I have reached out to who they claim to be the agency that oversees them without responseCustomer Answer

Village at West University apartments, a Greystar managed company, has placed a refundable deposit in collections. We never signed a lease and did not move in. They sent it to collections and is now on our credit report. They said that once the application is approved, we cannot get a refund. However, they did not return our calls or emails between the time we applied and got the approval. Then, they tried to charge us a moving out fee. Our bank did an investigation and weeventually got our deposit back.
