      On March 25th 2025 I received threatening texts and messages of someone threatening to come to my apartment, doxing my location to roughly 1000 people, and sending threatening and harassing messages and making me feel unsafe in my apartment. I need to leave my month to month lease by the 1st and my complex is saying I still need to pay 30 days worth of rent where I will not be staying, and not allowing me to leave by the 1st even though I do not have any yearly lease and am month month.

      I moved out of the property Allure Temp on 3/5/25 and still haven’t received my security deposit. The property has 14 days from my move out date to refund my deposit. That time has passed and they keep giving me the run arounds. My move was processed a week late for a reason I don’t understand. I’ve kept them up to date on the process but they didn’t seem prepared. I had to remind Kate to send me the documents I needed to sign to get the move processed.

      I am a current resident in a Greystar-managed apartment community and am formally disputing a $1,920 charge related to my previous unit within the same complex. The charges include painting, reglazing, and cleaning—much of which falls under normal wear and tear as defined by California Civil Code §1950.5.

      The invoice justifying these charges was dated prior to my move-out/transfer date, which calls into question whether the work was ever associated with my tenancy at all. Additionally, I submitted a move-in condition form when I originally took possession of the unit, yet I’ve been told no such form is on file.

      We currently live in a different unit in the same community, and upon move-in, we discovered several maintenance issues that had not been addressed—including:

      A vandalized garage wall

      A broken toilet

      Water-damaged baseboards

      A rusted interior in the dishwasher

      Wall damage in multiple areas that had simply been painted over

      After we brought these issues to the attention of maintenance, they agreed to complete the repairs. While we appreciate their response, this only reinforces my concern: Greystar appears to be billing residents for work that is not actually being completed, either during or after move-out.

      My experience has been further soured by short, unhelpful communication from most staff (with the exception of one team member, Emmena), and the feeling that my household is being held to a different standard than others in the complex.

      I am seeking the removal of the unjustified $1,920 charge, as well as an internal review of the company’s billing and maintenance practices. I’m hopeful the BBB can assist in bringing transparency and fairness to this situation.

      Received a final bill after moving out that included a $400 charge for the “removal and disposal of a washer and queen sized bed frame” by the apartment complex. This is not correct, as I had a junk removal service pick up both of these items on 02/28 — the same date they have listed that they removed these items. I have attached receipts/photos showing that the service I paid removed these items, not the apartment complex. No one in the management office will ever answer a phone and have blatantly ignored me trying to show them these receipts. I would like this charge removed from my final bill and for this complex/company to never contact me again.

      After management at 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest refused to even acknowledge my issue or my receipts, I was finally able to speak with an accounts representative named Chris S**** (***********@greystar.com), who took my receipts and actually got the charge removed. He deserves a raise, as he was nice and was the only person at Greystar/5000 Forest that actually even tried to fix the problem.

      This is not the first (or even the second time) I’ve had to deal with bogus charges and other instances from the management staff at 5000 Forest in the last few years. As one example: I used to get e-mails once every couple of months telling me I didn’t have renter’s insurance and I would be charged a non-compliance fee when it ended up being an error on their end.

      The current management staff at 42 Magnolia + 5000 Forest should either go through some serious training or be replaced — they’re absolutely terrible and a huge part of the reason why I moved. None of these problems have happened to me since I left.

      My mother & I applied to a Rental Unit at this Property. We paid the fees & such. Instead of Hardcopies the Property staff requested "********" (a syncing OS w landlords & potential tenants). I came into the OFC after receiving the request (approx. 1 to 2 business days). After speaking w the young lady, I let her know that **** didn't support giving out certain information but that I would call them again w a solution. She stated she would speak w her MGR to see if another option was available.
      After paying ADMIN & APP FEE ; the email stated the INCOME LINK would be available for 14 days. The ******** link was disconnected on 24 MARCH 2025. I viewed the unit on 20 MAR 25 & Applied the same day. The ******** link was disconnected BY NOON on Monday.
      ******** stated the "Property" put in the records that there was NO Online Banking. However, I came in on Monday the 24th , in the A.M. & my mother went to the Bank (in AZ) right before noontime. By the time she was done, the link was disconnected.
      I called & emailed on Tuesday the 25th of March re: the link. The lady tells me the LINK can't be resent. I told her the ******** Agent , Alex told me it was improperly noted so it was disconnected. He requested to contact them or ******** the following day.
      After not receiving a new link Today. I decided to drive in so this process could be Finished , on my Part. I have to travel at the end of April & this was getting messy & lengthy. The STAFF member , Kayla who was present stated the MGR was OOO, AGAIN. So I asked her why hadn't I received the link & why was my mom's link disconnected prematurely ? Bc that would be a WASTE if her income isn't counted & the FEE would need to be repaid ?
      She went on a rant of " She doesn't WORK THERE ! She is helping the new worker." Yet my mom & my PII was submitted to her & this property ? They don't answer calls or emails. I have been there DAILY except Sabbath. Yet ! We are locked out to PROVE income. It is a SCAM.

      My name is ******* **. I recently moved out of The Julian at 171 W Julian St, San Jose, CA, 95110. My lease ran from May 28, 2023, to February 12, 2025, with my move-out date on January 30, 2025. I received a total bill of $932.51, of which $217.72 is for utilities and last month's insurance(which covered time I've already moved out), and there are $714 in other charges.
      * Painting $169.79
      * Cleaning $300
      * Carpet cleaning $245
      After contacting the leasing office and trying to dispute those charges, I got several files, including photos they have on record.
      For the walls, I believe it totally fits normal wear and tear. You can hardly notice anything different from their pictures. Yet they charged me $169.79. In their ledger, only a summary charge is listed. No working time or other info.
      For the cleaning, $300 is charged to my account for "deep cleaning". I have moving out videos to prove that $300 is way too much. Also, they do not provide working hours and other details.
      For the carpet. There's only one carpet in the unit. Fits wear and tear.

      My demand is: I'm willing to pay for part of the cleaning fee(at most $200) and utilities. But not the painting and carpet-related things.

      After the adjustment, I'll pay $217.72 + $200 = $417.72

      I am filing this complaint against One North of Boston regarding unauthorized charges and failure to return my security deposit after my lease ended.

      Date of transaction: March 2, 2025.

      Amount disputed: $3,846.81

      Nature of the Dispute:

      1. I paid my rent on time every month and had no outstanding balance when my lease ended.

      2. My lease ended on March 2, 2025, and per the lease agreement, tenants are required to provide at least 60 days' notice if they choose not to renew.

      3. I provided my Notice of Non-Renewal on January 4, 2025, which was three days late compared to the 60-day requirement. I am willing to accept a reasonable Insufficient Notice Fee based on my lease terms.

      4. However, Leasing Office listed an Insufficient Notice Fee of $3,846.81 in the Final Account Statement without any explanation. This amount far exceeds any reasonable penalty and lacks contractual basis.

      5. Leasing Office not only attempted to withhold my entire $2,497 security deposit but also reported an additional $1,438.90 debt to Resident Advocate.

      Attempts to Resolve the Issue:

      I have sent multiple emails requesting clarification and correction of the charges, including:

      1. Removal of the unauthorized $1,438.90 debt.

      2. An accurate Insufficient Notice Fee calculation based on my January 4, 2025 notice date.

      3. My security deposit refund and an itemized deduction list (if applicable).

      The business initially responded but avoided addressing key concerns, and they have now stopped responding entirely.

      Thus, I am filing this complaint to seek resolution and intervention from the BBB.

      Resolution Requested:

      1. Immediate cancellation of the $1,438.90 invalid debt with Resident Advocate and written confirmation.

      2. A corrected Final Account Statement with the proper Insufficient Notice Fee based on my January 4, 2025 notice.

      3. The return of my security deposit ($2,497) or a legally compliant itemized deduction breakdown.

      I prefer to be contacted via email.

      I rented Apt *****. Upon moving out there was an inspection and a final walk through with the Maintenance Department and the Assistant Manager of WaterVue Apartment complex. Pictures were taken of the damages as we agreed upon what was noted was correct. Two weeks later we were notified that even though there was no damage to the carpet in the spare room because the master bedrooms carpet had to be replaced all the carpet through the apartment also had to be replaced. The manager Kim admitted that nothing was wrong with the second bedroom that it was just something they did when one bedrooms carpet is replaced they charge the tenants to replace all the carpet throughout the apartment. I do not believe that this apartment complex should be able to rip up carpet that has no damage and charge us for the replacement especially when the manager, assistant manager, and maintenance department all agreed that there was no damages. We filed a dispute but the manager said it didn’t matter.

      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.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
