      Complaint Against Greystar and 101 Center for Unresolved Deposit Refund


      I am filing this complaint against Greystar, the managing company for 101 Center in Arlington, Texas, for an unacceptable delay in processing my deposit refund after my lease ended in July 2024. It has now been over four months, far exceeding the 30-day refund period stated in my lease agreement, with no resolution despite multiple follow-ups.

      After contacting 101 Center management numerous times, I was informed that my account information had been forwarded to Greystar’s ownership group for processing. However, no timeline has been provided, and my refund remains unpaid. This lack of accountability and transparency is both unprofessional and unreasonable.

      The delay has caused significant inconvenience, especially with the holiday season approaching. I am requesting the BBB's intervention to hold Greystar accountable and ensure immediate processing of my deposit refund. I believe this situation reflects poorly on their business practices and is in violation of standard tenant rights.


      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Sincerely,
      ****** ****
      Former Resident, Unit *****

      I moved out from the Flats on D on November 15, 2024. I have been trying to pay my final utility statement since 11/29/2024. It is a little over $107 only. Access to pay online through the resident portal was deactivated when I moved out so I reached out to the leasing office to confirm if a check will be acceptable. Lily from the leasing office informed me that I would need to reach out to Sherron J***** at Greystar. I reached out to Sherron J***** on 12/02 and 12/05 and have not received a response.

      On 12/09, I once again followed up with the Flat on D leasing office for alternative options. I did not receive a response so I called and spoke to Rachel who asked me to send another email to her and Lily (who I had originally corresponded with) and that they would get together to find out how I can make my final payment. Two days later and no one has responded.

      I also reached out to Greystar corporate on 12/11. No response so far.

      I find this whole situation to be ridiculous as I can't be the only person to be moving out. How are other former residents handling this? I am extremely concerned about the lack of responsiveness and clear solutions to resolve this issue. I would like to get this resolved as quickly as possible so that I am not erroneously reported to some debt collection agency through no fault of my own.

      I put a $300 deposit for an apartment managed by greystar. I recently moved and was told by the new management company that I had no history of a deposit on my lease. I was charged for damage because of that. Unit 1015 on their record.

      We moved out from Lynhaven Apartment on 6/3/2024.

      The GreyStar management company sent us a bill includes:
      - Rent charge $1691.4 for 6/4-6/21
      - Carpet Clean $110
      - Wall Paint $200
      - Cleanning $350
      - Utilities $152.59
      At the same time they did not refund our $250 deposit.

      We asked the itemized bill for each charging and we found:
      1. The cleaning fee was $220 instead of $350
      2. There is no receipt about $200 Wall Painting. We see one full paint $425 but the apartment should be responsible for that since we have lived in the unit over 3 years and it is normal wear and tear.
      3. The apartment should be responsible for the carpet cleaning fee $110 due to the wear and tear.
      4. Rent charge does not make sense: we moved out early than the lease agreement but we have communicated with the leasing office and they said we won't get charged if they find a new tenant. Before we moved out, we double confirmed that the new tenant signed the lease.

      So overall we agree that we should be responsible for the utilities fee $152.59 and regular cleaning fee $220. So we request GreyStart to adjust the billing.

      Hello, I'm a tenant at one of Greystar Property Management in San Francisco, CA. The complex name is AshtonSF located at 301 Executive Park Blvd, San Francisco, CA. 94134.

      I've been a tenant here for 4 1/2 years and has had problems with the manager for all 4 1/2 years.

      Before I even moved in , this lady had put me through the ringer. I was all set up, had gave all monies and was waiting for my move in date to move in. In that time, I had a stroke. I was admitted in the hospital and from there out into a nursing facility to recover. As I was recovering, I received an email from the mgr asking me to print two pieces of paper she emailed me and sign them and fax them back to her, so I called her and told her I was unable to do that at this time, she ask why I told her I was in the hospital,she said with attitude, " how long are you going to be there " I told her I wasn't sure, she got mad and told me she was cancelling my lease and putting my unit back in the market and was putting my deposit in the mail now, then hung up in my face.
      30 minutes later, she called & said to redo the app on line, the fees has been waved, so she gave me unit back to me. After moved in, I went to the bank to cash the returned deposit, the check was fraud, they was going to call the police and have me arrested! I told them it was from where I live, they gave it back, I took it to her, but she was in her apartment so the guy told her what I told him about the check, she then called and I ask for the # to accounting department, she with attitude told me " I'm willing do no such thing, I'll have them call you " at 10 pm some girl called from Austin Tx, claim to be the mgr of accounting, this person was clearly nobody who I'm sure would hire this person, just on her lack of professionalism, she was very ghetto and kept telling me it's money in that account, After telling her the bank said it fraud , it's so much more to explain, but my time here is about to stop, plz call, need help, thx.

      I am writing to file a complaint against Tomscot and Greystar, located at 3015 N. Scottsdale Road, because the property is attempting to charge us for illegitimate expenses, MONTHS after move date.

      They have been harassing me since July 2024 and requesting we pay $639. For example, $220 for paint, with no proof (see attachment) and a water bill for $216, which was not included as a separate payment from our rent (see lease terms attached).

      Greystar contacted me in July 2024, over 2 months after we moved out for these payments and requested these payments via a portal in which we never used, which is a concern of legitimacy. As seen on multiple ****** reviews, they do this with previous tenants months after move out.

      Furthermore, Greystar management is currently in a lawsuit with the State of Arizona due to illegally raising prices and fraudulent payment.

      This just furthers my claim that this is fraudulent activity and illegal activity this business.

      Greystar, property management of Pearl DTC, owes me a sizable return. Even worse, they charged me rent for leasing me a garage that was already leased to another resident. Many of my belongings were already in this space, yet when I came home another car was parked in front of these belongings. My access to them was even revoked. Yet still they charged me for this. The customer service wasn't the best as the first thing they told me was that their lease allows for them to make errors and omissions. And even though they'll charge you a late fee if your late whatsoever on paying them, the money they now owe me could take "anywhere from 30-60 days... we really have no way of knowing." They've apparently "reached out to management" but haven't heard anything back in over a week. The leasing office is attempting to refund me a pro-rated amount (charging me for two days... actually less than 24 hours... of rent), but with how miserable of an experience this was, I want my full $1,986.97 refunded. I am still out money from *****, as well as the time I spent having to move in and then back out to my old place. To now sit on their hands is criminal.

      Greystar has failed on numerous occasions to resolve issue with gate entry. FOBs were reset over 5 months ago and stated that they were going to have everyone's FOBs reconfigured next week.

      They have not done so and when contacting management they say "next week" every time, or that their "IT department" is not there to reconfigure them.

      This is a huge inconvenience to most residents cannot access all gates and have to then make a detour just to get to the main entrance to get into the facility. Wasting time and mileage just to enter a facility. They fail to compensate on the matter

      Timeline of Events and Supporting Evidence

      November 27, 2024
      • Event: I informed the apartment complex of my husband’s serious accident, which left him unable to work, and explained the financial hardship my family was experiencing. I requested understanding and cooperation during this time.
      • Evidence: Email sent to the leasing office notifying them of the situation.

      November 30, 2024
      • Event: I attempted to pay rent using a $1,800 money order, mistakenly believing it was the correct payment method.
      • Evidence: Photo of the money order, ledger showing the payment attempt.

      December 3, 2024
      • Event: I visited the leasing office to confirm that my rent had been paid. Danielle informed me that the money order was not acceptable due to a “two-strike policy” requiring all payments to be made via MoneyGram. This policy was never communicated in writing or outlined in the lease.
      • Evidence: Lease agreement showing acceptable payment methods, no mention of a “two-strike policy.”

      December 4, 2024
      • Event: I received an email notice stating I had 10 days to cure my rent deficiency.
      • Evidence: Screenshot of the email notice.

      December 5, 2024
      • Event: I received a physical 5-day notice on my door, citing A.R.S. § 33-1368(B). This notice conflicted with the 10-day email notice sent the previous day, creating confusion and violating the law’s requirement for clear and consistent notice.
      • Evidence: Copy of the 5-day notice.

      December 7, 2024
      • Event: I paid the full outstanding rent amount via MoneyGram as requested, resolving the immediate risk of eviction.
      • Evidence: Proof of MoneyGram payment, updated ledger confirming a $0.49 credit on my account.

      TENANT BEWARE!!!!!  TENANT BEWARE!!!!! Wish I could give 0 stars. I've worked with and lived in many 'high end' apartment bulidings. The building itself (Stella - Marina Del Rey) and location are great, but the GreyStar management team here is very difficult to work with. See the other peoples reviews below for yourself. I moved out September 12th 2024, and I have been emailing and calling weekly for updates on my deposit refund and they are giving the run around. They have confirmed I'm owed a refund, after I moved out on September 12th, but its December 9th 2024 today and the responses I keep getting are "hopefully next week" for my refund. Its clear they have no intention to refund people - be very very careful with this company. While I lived here, the property management changed TWICE. Just read the other reviews, this building is very poorly managed. Document every piece of communication you have with them, because they dont respond to emails, and instead ask you to come in person to talk to them, and obviously since everything is verbal when you talk in person, they renege on what they verbally said when push comes to shove. When the management company changed, the online portal to make payments didnt work. They asked residents to bring checks for a few months. Even though I had AUTOPAY on (and other residents too), the management still felt it was okay to charge late fees because THEIR TEAM took a few days to process checks LOL. Once I really started pressing them for my refund citing the California Civil Code §1950.5. requirement, the management team fully stopped responding and tied in their attorney. When people are paying close to $4k per month for a 1 bedroom apartment, its unbelievable to treat them like this. I planned to move back into this building once grad school finishes, but I am going to be staying FAR away from this building now, and advising all my friends and colleagues who live in the area to stay away from this building.
