  Unsafe environment. Price gouging. Unfair business practices.
  My roommate and I were previous tenants at STADIA MED MAIN in Houston, Texas from October 2023 to October 2024. We were under the essential housing program. During the approach of our renewal things started to go left. We were miss treated, talked to aggressively and fear mongered into quickly submitting documents we were not ready to submit.
  
  July 16, 2024 received first notice of renewal update. Pending approvals after September 1, 2024 will be extending your rent month-to-month at the current market rate.
  No actual deadline was given. We were lied to by property manager at the time saying there is a deadline. She was rude and belligerent. Would talk over me and threaten that we won’t be able to recertify. Iniatially we wanted to renew but after the lies and terrible treatment we decided not to
  
  Two months before lease end we get a water bill of $800+ dollars. Our water was on average $30. A utility fee of $70+ when it should be around $10.
  
  Our final month and the bill is high AGAIN, at a price of over $100 which is far from our normal $30. We decided to just pay it as we were leaving the property and also exhausted of dealing with the stress of management team and all its issues.
  
  Fast forward to October, we move out on the 4th. On November 5th we receive an invoice stating the balance must be paid on October 30Th. A WEEK AFTER the due date is not okay communication.
  
  On this invoice we were charged for damage to the stove and carpet which was both false damages. In our walk through documentation it was noted that we met the stove damaged. And on our final walk thru leaving no visible damages were on the carpet.
  
  Now March and the property went from trying to charge us $650 to now $975. They are trying to charge us for stains UNDER THE CARPET. Lying saying they lost our move in documentation to then saying we never turned it in.

  I want to share my disappointment with the management of Vora Mission Valley. When we first decided to rent an apartment here, one of the main factors that influenced our decision was the promise of a car charging station. This was essential for us, as we own an electric vehicle, and having a convenient charging option nearby was a key part of our choice.
  
  However, after moving in and finalizing all the paperwork, we were told that the waitlist for a charging station is over a year long. This is incredibly frustrating, as the availability of a charging station was a major selling point when we signed the lease.
  
  To make matters worse, I rely on my car for work and can’t afford the time to deal with daily charging at public stations or finding alternative solutions. This situation is causing a lot of inconvenience and stress.
  
  It’s disappointing to see that the management did not deliver on a promise that was a significant factor in our decision to rent here. I hope that future tenants are better informed and that this issue is addressed promptly.

  I have been living in Galleria Palms and since day one my experience has been nothing but problematic. Before moving in, they refused to let me see the apartment, claiming it was under renovation. Within the first week, I had to request over ten repairs. I've dealt with recurring cockroach infestations and an ongoing issue with my bathroom door vibrating due to an excessively loud AC unit, which still hasn’t been fixed. The walls are so thin that I’ve never had a peaceful night’s sleep because of my neighbors.
  
  Additionally, the top layer of my cabinet doors has started peeling off, and now the AC is leaking a significant amount of water. This apartment is simply not a livable environment. I have three months left on my lease, but given these ongoing issues, I would like to move out immediately without incurring an early termination fee.

  We’ve contacted the team at Galleria Palms and their leadership so they can review your concerns in detail. A Greystar representative will follow up with you within 10 business days to discuss the matter further.

  In November 2024, I received a move-out statement from Greystar Real Estate Partners (through my former apartment complex) assessing $1,109.50 in charges. This notice lacked itemized details or evidence supporting the charges. I emailed the property on December 7, 2024, requesting a breakdown of the costs. After a follow-up on December 20, 2024, I was contacted by a specialist in Greystar’s Receivables Department and forwarded my original inquiry.
  
  On January 26, 2025, I received an amended invoice addressed only to my co-tenant, despite the lease being jointly held. This invoice accounted for $586.50 in "maintenance" charges—the exact amount listed on the original summary—but combined separate charges for painting and trash removal, which were assessed separately in the original invoice, raising concerns that it was retroactively adjusted rather than reflecting actual service costs.
  
  I continued to request further explanation. On February 7, 2025, Greystar provided another revised invoice with 56 images of the unit. These images did not substantiate key charges. For example, the bill included fees for 12 small nail holes and minor touch-up painting—both considered "normal wear and tear" under Washington State law (RCW 59.18.280) and not tenant liabilities. The charges also included repainting the exterior of the front door, but the only evidence showed minor cosmetic touch-ups on a surface exposed to communal areas where third-party damage could occur.
  
  Despite multiple requests for clarification and legal citations highlighting that these charges are not tenant liabilities, Greystar insists the fees are valid without further explanation.

  Complaint Summary: Unjustified Charges, Lack of Documentation, and Unprofessional Conduct
  
  This complaint concerns my former apartment at GreystarVert in Canoga Park, Unit ***, managed by Greystar Management. Upon move-out, I received a final accounting with a balance due of $565.53. I disputed the charges—mainly for carpet replacement and balcony repainting—as they appear to be normal wear and tear. Per California Civil Code §1950.5, landlords cannot deduct such costs from a deposit without proper justification and receipts for any charge exceeding $125.
  
  I first requested documentation in December 2024 and received no written response. After nearly three months, I followed up and was informed in March 2025 that the balance had been revised to $413 due to utility discrepancies, which had never been communicated previously. Despite multiple requests, I still have not received itemized receipts or invoices to support any of the charges.
  
  On March 21, 2025, I spoke by phone with Jeffrey Austell (480-701-3652), who was rude, dismissive, and refused to communicate via email. When I asked for written documentation, he became combative and hung up. He also vaguely stated that the matter would soon be “out of his hands,” which I found unprofessional and unclear.
  
  I am not refusing to pay a legitimate balance—I simply request a breakdown of the charges and receipts, as is my legal right. The ongoing lack of transparency and professionalism has left me with no option but to escalate this matter.
  
  I am asking the BBB to help obtain the documentation I’ve requested and ensure this is handled in compliance with California tenant law.

  My former apartment complex pulled a full months rent from my bank account when they were only supposed to pull 6 days of rent. They have now owe me $1219.87 for over 2 weeks now as this occurred the beginning of the month. They are dragging their feet giving me my money back and the money is still “processing” so I don’t even have a lead on it, or proof that they are even trying to get it back to me.

  The reason the amount was taken out of the Resident's bank account is because the resident did not turn off Auto-Pay. This is something that has to be done by the resident.

  For the last year, I've been living in unsafe habitat conditions, forcing me to leave the rental property in November months ago. But I continued to pay since my sister lived in the apartment. Why did I leave? One morning, I woke up, and a bug was crawling on me, and I saw other bugs in the apartment. I had no choice but to move immediately. Once, Morgan Park canceled my extermination request without explanation. I am not sure if you know that cockroaches can significantly impact human health by carrying a wide range of bacteria and pathogens, potentially transmitting diseases like salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus; additionally, their droppings and shed skin can trigger allergic reactions. Living long-term in a roach infestation environment can lead to infection, coughing, wheezing, and nasal congestion. California Department of Consumer Affairs, California Civil Code 1941.1 references that homeowners are required by law to provide their tenants with safe living conditions, which includes protecting them from any pest infestations. I exchanged emails with Greystar CEO Bob Faith, who, over 4 months of email exchanges, committed to resolving the issue.
  
  I vacated the property the first week in February. Now Greystar is trying to charge me $280 cleaning charge which was not listed in my lease and my photos (I shared with the management office (show the apartment was clean.
  
  My issues with Greystar are:
  
  1) 6 months living in a coach infestation housing community which was a housing department violation health hazard. I spenting $300 chemical.
  
  2) Fraudulently billing for services not rendered and utilities for the month in a vacant apartment.
  
  3) Charging me a cleaning fee not included in my original renters agreement
  
  4) Greystar's vendor insurance bills me monthly for the renters insurance I submitted in August 2024.
  
  These issue demonstrates Greystar's negligence in maintaining a habitable property and fraudulently changing for invalid services.

  This is a complaint regarding the refund of my deposit that has not been paid to me within the timeframe provided by state law after I moved out of the apartment at the Avana on Broad property in Durham, North Carolina. I left the property in good condition and turned over the keys to the front office on February 3, 2025. I received a move out statement on February attached to an email stating that I would receive an email from a third party refund disbursement company within 14 days. In this email it defers you to call the third party company if you have questions regarding your refund, when I called and spoke with the third party they informed me they had not received the information from Greystar in order for them to facilitate the refund and that it could likely be 3-4 weeks instead of the 14 days stated in the email with the move-out statement. Today is March 20, 2025 and past the 30 days stated in North Carolina law that the landlord has to return a deposit. Any attempts at contact that have been made on my part to get any information or follow up with this matter have not been answered by Greystar. The front office at the property of Avana on Broad is very badly managed, they haven't answered any calls and haven't made an attempt to call me back after I have left voicemails. I have attempted to contact the local Greystar office in Raleigh, NC and there is no answer at their office either. I have attempted contact through the Greystar website and that has been left unanswered as well. I feel my requests are just a shout into the void of a big corporation that cares nothing for it's residents. I am just trying to be refunded for the amount of money that I am owed.

  I paid my rent and utilities charges every month at Nexus East. Today, a month after I've moved out, I was contacted by Kristel G***** who said I had outstanding charges on my account and she would be sending me to collections in two days. She would not let me speak, hung up on me, and did not answer my call back. I then contacted Nexus East Apartments who confirmed I paid my balances in full and sent me my legers. I contacted Greystar again who put me through to Kristel G*****, and she said that if Nexus East manager does not confirm with her by tomorrow, she will still send me to collections. I have my legers and utilities statements proving that I do not owe anything.
  Two weeks ago, I sent a complaint to Greystar about the Nexus East manager, Reno U*****. The fact that these utilities charges were added post-move out is retaliatory to my complaint. Greystar notifying me for the first time about this today, giving me less than 48 hours to resolve their issue before sending me to collections is incredibly dubious business practice.

  Greystar is using an incomplete ledger to claim I have owed charges. Nexus East provided myself and them a complete leger that shows I owe $0.00. 
  

  The fees Greystar claims I owe include a $957 trash bill that Nexus East corrected.
