To Whom It May Concern, To keep this complaint short and sweet I will exclude the plethora of grievances I have acquired over the year and eight months of living at Harmony 3900; Which include, but are not limited to: assault, robbery, burglary, inability to use property amenities, and a management team that could care less about the safety, let alone happiness, of their residents - including allowing maintenance to go through my belongings on two separate occasions (on my personal security footage). Today, I am asking the BBB to please help me refund the full amount of rent Harmony charged me for the month of October. I am moving out on the 21st and Harmony 3900 took the whole months rent, and did not prorate the rent. When I asked them for a refund they stated it was contingent on my move-out inspection - which I, as well as others, are unable to find on my lease; Basically, no where on my lease does it say Harmony has the ability to keep overcharged funds until my move-out date. I want the prorated amount refunded immediately. To show their lack of apathy they have overcharged me for fees in the past (approx. 4x$40 fees) which I brought to managements attention over six months ago; which they responded they needed proof, so I responded with the screen recording proof on my account and they responded that they will set up a meeting with me, that has never happened. Like I previously stated, I have had a laundry list of horrific issues regarding my living situation at Harmony that I have not only brought up to their revolving door of ever changing management, but also to their parent company - Greystar where I am still waiting on a response to my email from 12 months ago from Jennifer. She simply stopped responding once I started showing evidence. I am looking for any help regarding this horrific situation, and thank you in advance for your time and consideration.Initial Complaint

In March 2020 my apartment was filled with black mold all over and I mean everywhere ceiling Windows, my daughter's bed, corners of my living room... Everywhere. I contacted my landlord Dana W***** she replied back to me about a week or so, she had some guys come in they sprayed all over. My lease finally ended may 23rd thankfully but now my couch has mold all over I haven't even finished paying for either. The only way I was able to see the mold was when I was trying to put it in my U-Haul truck and I saw it inside . My apartment has mold today, but my biggest concern for me is mainly my couch.Initial Complaint

I rented an apartment at The Marquee at Andover from January 24 until June 19, 2022. I paid all charges including monthly rent, water, sewer fees, electricity, gas. I moved out on June 7, 2022. At the beginning of June I received a notice from ******* International stating that I owed a balance of $528.01. I had NEVER received a bill. I immediately went to the office to say this was an error. There were 2 people there that could not figure out where this balance was coming from. They said they would look into it and call me back. I also called ******* (collection agency) to tell them I was not ignoring this but was working on it. I also sent a lengthy email to them so they would put my account on hold. With NO response from the Marquee, I went there again and spoke to Nicole who, once again, could not determine what this balance was but she would pass it along to Linda, the manager, who would get back to me (she is the one I had spoken to initially). Again, I received no response. I called the office a week later and nothing had been done so I went there AGAIN. I was told by Nicole that still no one knew where this balance was coming from but Nicole was going to call ******* to tell them that this was an error on Marquee's end and that the account would be closed. I called Chris at ******* to tell him this. It was never done. A couple of days later i received another bill from ******* with an interest amount added to the bill. I went back to the office at least 2 more times with the same results. The phone at the Marquee does not work most of the time so I could not call! Finally I received a printout of my account which clearly shows these amounts have been paid. Went back to the office and the representative there agreed that there should be a zero balance. She said she would take care of it. Haven't heard anything so I tried to call this morning. Phones out of order so I am off to the office again.Initial Complaint

I applied for an apartment at Broadstone Little Italy, which is managed by Greystar Properties. I informed the agent I was from overseas, relocating to the US for business and therefore don't have a long credit history. I paid a $500 holding deposit on 6/9/2022.
My application was rejected due to lack of credit and that a deposit of $1,000 would be required, so I declined and informed the agent I would not be pursuing the rental and was informed that my deposit would be refunded in full. After many emails and correspondence telling me the refund had been issued it is now over 2 months later and I have not received a refund.Initial Complaint

I applied for a corporate lease with a GreyStar managed property. I went to tour the property and asked what they requirements were for their corporate lease and I was told by the staff that I needed trade references and my business needed to be at least 5 years old. They took my application and admin fee. I was denied and was told over the phone that it was because they said my Dun and Bradstreet report said that my business was not 5 years old. However, I not only have proof of the denial phone call via my recorded business line but I also contacted Dun and Bradstreet and have proof of my Dun and Bradstreet profile but also confirmation in the form of a certificate from the SC secretary of state. This has led me to believe that I was either discriminated against for other reasons that the company has not disclosed or my application was not properly assessed because to say that my business is less than 5 years old as a reason for denial shows that the company did not do their due diligence.Initial Complaint

Complaint: ********
The property is M Station apartments in Charlotte, NC. I have been out of that apartment for over a year. Have people calling me saying I owe y’all money after every complaint I have had, mold in my house, roaches etc. I have a long list of history and emails to prove all of these complaints. Nobody resolves anything and I thought it was being resolved by agreeing to leaving my apartment a month early and now I’m told i owe? I am not paying you all another dime. Nobody at corporate answers nobody at the leasing offices care. Ive had to contact lawyers. I’ve been dealing with this longer than a year now. Whatever is “owed” needs to be cancelled so I can be done with this place please.
