I am filing a complaint against Avana Chase apt complex in Tucker, GA, owned by Greystar Worldwide, LLC. This is regarding false advertising on their website vs what they are verbally telling applicants.
On 5/14/25 we applied for an apt paying an app fee of $125 each (myself and my husband).
On 5/16/25 I logged in to check the app status on their website & saw a list of detailed pricing & the app fee was listed $35 per applicant. Meaning we each paid $90 over the advertised fee.
I have inquired multiple times why we were overcharged. I have spoken to Atziri, Eilene, & Esther at the leasing office. I contacted the corp office in SC speaking to Grace. I emailed CEO Bob F**** & received an email from Mallory L****. They claim the pricing changed in Jan 2025 & “everything has been updated”
Today 6/19/25 the chat bot STILL says app fee is $35. Esther said to me over the phone, “I guess the website got missed.” That is not an excuse.
Per Mallory’s email, “Due to Fair Housing what I do for one I must do for all and that would not be fair to others that have paid the required application fee. You also agreed to pay the $125 when you submitted your payment online.”
The Fair Housing Act “prohibits discrimination in housing and housing-related activities because of disability, race, sex, color, national origin, religion, or familial status” via **************** It has nothing to do with a company not updating their website pricing and over charging consumers.
While I “agreed” to pay the $125, I paid in good faith that they were truthful what their fees were. Had ALL their communication been properly updated we wouldn’t be in this situation.
I am simply asking for $180 to be refunded since I overpaid due to the company’s negligence in properly updating ALL their documentation clarifying the correct fee. To confirm we did sign the lease. I have pics & videos proving what the website said before & after the update.Business Response

Thank you for your response. However, I do not wish to speak to anyone at the local leasing office regarding this as I've exhausted all efforts with them and haven't gotten anywhere. I respectfully request someone else contact me, NOT Esther or Mallory. Lastly if needed I do have video proof of the website before and after the update. I have also filed complaints with the FTC and AG. Thank you, ******* ****Initial Complaint

Apartment complex Rosemont City previously ran by ***** *********** was brought out my greystar back in 2024. However I renewed my lease in 07/2024. My granddaughter past away in 11/2024 and I inquired about a bigger space 2 bed 2 bad but the requirements did not make sense due to me already being a tenant I reached out to the property manager at the time Mitchel in regards to moving out early and what fees are included. No communication wasn't provided after several emails and left voicemail until finally someone from the office advise I would need to provide a 06 day notice and first months rent which I did. I moved out on 12/31/2024. Still inquiring about any additional fees via email however no response. Unfortunately I am not able to retrieve those emails due to the email address has been closed down and I am unable to retrieve any emails for reference. I provided my receivables account representative the move out document that was provided to me at move out and was advised this does not suffice and I am charged a terminated fee. This is very unprofessional and lack integrity from the company. I was not advised any release form needs to be submitted or returned to the office or all information and fees would have been submitted. STAY AWAY FROM COMPLEXES THAT ARE RAN BY GREYSTAR. CRIMINALS IS WHAT THEY ARE.Business Response

January 14th 11:59 pm is when my lease was up. February 4th I received my move out statement from greystar/Tavera. February 5th I emailed the property(Tavera) and then contacted by phone (which they weren’t answering the phone, kept going straight to voicemail. Mid February I got response and spoke to her over the phone and she basically stated she couldn’t help me. So from there I proceeded to start a dispute letter, requesting invoices, receipts, and pictures of my exact apartment before work was done. I also try to gather evidence or something that could possibly help me since I didn’t take pictures. But I like to record my infant daughter at the time a lot which you can see the carpet in. So I used that but was not able to attach in my dispute letter that I sent March 3rd (Greystar)and again March 9th. March 11th and account specialist was assigned to my case “to help” with my inquiry. Didn’t hear anything back. June 13th get statement balance email so I respond and said I’ve been waiting for someone to contact me but haven’t heard anything. He finally sent what I requested from the letter back in March. I told him I would handle it another way, which is through small claims court. The next day I was sent an email from debt collection.
•I do have video where I did a quick walk through that wont allow me to attach where you can clearly see the carpet was not stained which is January 10th the day the movers came to collect our things cause we’re military.
•If I’m not mistaken the carpet life expectancy was up during my time in the apartment and they are trying to charge me for it.
• also there was barely walking room in that room we had a king size bed, crib and Tv Stand. Didn’t eat in the room and I kept the floor vacuumed.
•just saw that anything charged over $125 on the itemized statement is supposed to have invoices and receipts attached explaining the charges.
• I feel like they’re taking advantage because I’m military and I moved out of that state.Customer Answer

I moved out of my apartment at 21 Gramercy Park Dr., Apt ****, Bryan, TX 77802, in May 2024. I only received $77 from my security deposit and never received a Financial Move-Out Statement or any explanation of the deductions.
During the move-out inspection, I was verbally told by staff that cleaning charges would not exceed $100 and that the carpet was already aged and any replacement would be based on depreciation.
On June 12, 2025, I submitted a formal request via the Greystar *********** website, as well as via email (***********@greystar.com). I received no response.
I am requesting transparency: a copy of my Move-Out Statement, a breakdown of all charges, and documentation regarding any carpet deduction (installation date, depreciation method, etc.).
I am not disputing reasonable charges but believe that the lack of communication and failure to provide proper documentation is unacceptable.Business Response

I moved out of the Reserve at Westcott in January 2025. I still have not received my refund. I have called multiple times since my move out. They told me 2 separate times that they were going to send it out but it got lost in the mail. During this time I asked if they could just write me a new check and I would come pick it up. They told me know I couldn’t do that because the checks came from corporate. Then they said that they found it and it was in my previous mailbox. I called them as I was on my way to come and get the check they told me that they couldn’t find it and would have to contact someone at the main office to locate it. Someone called later and said that they located the check. I asked them to send it over and I storage not received it.Business Response

My boyfriend and I are current residents at The Devon Apartments in Raleigh, NC. Due to an unexpected and mandatory job relocation to Virginia, we must vacate our apartment before the end of our lease. Upon notifying the management and reviewing our lease, we understood that only a 60-day notice was required—which we were prepared to provide.However, management informed us that we would also need to pay an “early termination fee” equal to two months’ rent. After thoroughly reviewing the lease again, we found no mention of such a fee. The lease clearly states the 60-day notice requirement but does not reference any additional penalties.We brought this to the management team's attention and explained the financial hardship this fee would cause, especially given the unplanned relocation. Despite this, they continued to insist on the fee. We believe it is unethical and potentially unlawful to enforce a fee that is not disclosed in the lease.Per North Carolina landlord-tenant law (NC Gen. Stat. § 42-46), landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent a unit and cannot charge tenants excessive fees without attempting to mitigate losses. Given the high-demand location of The Devon, we believe the unit could be re-leased quickly, making the added fee excessive.We also raised concerns about the community’s poor cleanliness—dog urine, trash, and general neglect of common areas—which have gone unresolved. These conditions further undermine the justification for charging such a high fee.We feel we are being unfairly penalized during a difficult time, and respectfully request that the termination fee be waived, as it is not stated in the lease and contradicts NC tenant law.We have been in contact with the Community Managers at The Devon, and they have not been understanding or helpful in any way. We have struggled to get in contact with anyone in a higher position that could assist.Customer Answer

We have received a message from the business letting us know that they have reached out to the local team at The Devon425.

In December of 2023, I left my ex and our apartment of "Legacy Lake Norman" at 108 Steinbeck Way in Mooresville, NC. My ex was then evicted from said apartments in April of 2024.
I now live in Texas and have since December of 2023. I was unaware of having to sign any paperwork to take my name off the lease. It was a bad abusive relationship that I stayed in for 7 years. I was very distraught and depressed having to drive all the way from NC to TX by myself.
I have bank statements that show me getting a U-haul and getting gas on my way from NC to TX.
In November 2024, I was looking for my own apartment when the eviction popped up on my record. I found a place that would take me anyways. Now, I am having many issues with this apartment and would like to move out.
I reached out to the regional manager of Greystar (who oversee Legacy at Lake Norman) Ashley W***. She told me she would let me know after she spoke to the Greystar attorney. I did not get a hold of her for weeks after she was to reach back out to me. She then told me I would need to find a lawyer to dispute it.
When I asked how much it would cost to pay. She gave me two numbers to call one for "Greystar receivables" and the other a company called "Genesis". She told me to call, and they would tell me the amount to pay. I called both and neither had my name in the system at all. I tried reaching out to Ashley Ward again, but she never picked up the phone again.
On ********** and ****** *****, the eviction does not show but it does for apartments I apply to.
I would greatly appreciate help with this. To get this off my record.
Since I have left my ex, he is now married and has a child. I am only wanting to move on from him and cannot do so with this eviction incorrectly on my record. He was always in charge of the rent while I was for the other bills.
As I can prove in this last year, I have increased my credit score and got my bills back to good standing since leaving him.
I do not know what to do anymore.Business Response

I am submitting this complaint regarding an unresolved mold issue in my apartment unit, which poses a serious health risk to both myself and my dog. A work order to address the mold was initiated on June 5, 2024; however, as of today, the issue has not been fully resolved, and I am still residing in a mold-affected unit.I have been cooperative with both the property manager and the maintenance team throughout this process. Despite receiving emails confirming that someone would be sent to address the problem on specific dates, no one has shown up. I have already taken two days off work to accommodate their schedule, but no progress has been made.Given the ongoing health hazard, I requested to terminate my lease early without penalty so I could move into a safe living environment. My request was denied, and I was informed that I would be required to pay a $1,200 early termination fee.I find it unreasonable to be held financially responsible while being forced to live in conditions that may be detrimental to my health and well-being. I am requesting assistance in disputing the $1,200 fee and in resolving this matter in a fair and timely manner.Thank you for your attention to this issue.Business Response

My lease is being violated at the Circuit. I am disabled and I live at 2425 Capitol St, Houston TX 77003, apt ****. I have had the worse experience of my life at this establishment.The building is full with garbage, rodents, insects, animal poop, marijuana smoke and this affects my asthma tremendously. The leasing office has being the most disrespectful group of people I have ever encountered. My home is over run with ruined appliances and roaches. My ac goes out once a month. I was moved into a NOT READY and EVICTED apartment. My original move in date was moved and cost me my movers. I have had to lose money to leave to work come to get disrespected and called a liar by your leasing staff. I put pet notices that do get acknowledged and people walking into my house after I specifically notated we have a pet and not to enter the unit. This has made my stay here unbearable, and disheartening. I get unconfirmed notices from the office to come into my home when that’s against the lease. I have an Emtional support animal for my health and now I can’t have her with me due to this complex changing the narrative of what I was explained upon move in. I pay too much rent to be treated so wrongfully. I have spoke with an attorney and have been told my lease was broken. I expect to hear back something or some sort of resolution before any following steps please.Business Response
