      Hello,

      Based on our research of this account, it appears that there were significant delays in the recipient receiving their refund on four separate occasions. The final check, amounting to $988.22, was cashed on October 25, 2024.

      Attached to this message, you will find the response letter and a copy of the last check that was issued. Our accounting department has confirmed that the check was indeed cashed.

      If you have any further inquiries or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach.

      Best regards,

      Massive ***** infestation!!!! Theres a massive ***** infestation in my kitchen and bathroom. I ************ on Saturday and the place didnt seem to have been cleaned that well. The counters has a grimy film on them. After being in the apartment for a couple hours I say about 20 German roaches crawling around during the day (roaches are nocturnal and only come out in the day if the infestation is bad). Valiant Residential should have inspected my apartment before they moved me in so quickly. This place is disgusting. Theres roaches under the sink, behind the stove, crawling in the fridge, in the cabinets. I cannot use my kitchen at all. They are crawling in the tub and out of the bathroom sink. I dont know how to live in this place if I can shower, cook, or eat!I was told on Saturday when I reported the issue that maintenance would come out to assist me that day but they never came. I was told pest control would come out on Monday but they havent showed. Now Im being told that maintenance will be coming out on Wednesday. That is was too long to wait for a problem this bad. This place doesnt care about their tenants!

      I signed a lease for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment on 06/05/2023. It was evident the apartment was not cleaned or prepared before we moved in, and management had not done a walk through. The unit looked nothing like the pictures from the property website that we were shown by by the leasing agent. We were never allowed to tour the apartment. The pictures looked very modern and new but the actual unit was very outdated and looked completely different. There was a strong stench of cigarettes and mildew throughout. The ** filter was absolutely disgusting and had clearly not been changed in a very long time. There was a ****** kleenex left on the bedroom floor, and rotten dog food was found in the master closet. There were belongings left behind on the balcony and socks left in the dryer. The dryer lint trap was packed full of lint. The washing machine was full of buildup and grime. It also didn't drain, so my clothes were soaking wet after the cycle was over- even though I did small loads. There was lots of mold on the ceilings and walls of both bathrooms. The shower head in the master bathroom sprayed water all over, including over the top of the shower door. This made it unusable. One bathroom door did not have a lock. There was trash behind the toilet. The drains in both sinks and showers were very visibly clogged and full of hair and other trash. There were no lights in the bedrooms and living room. The master bath door doesn't shut. The master bedroom door lock is broken. The cabinet under the kitchen sink was trashed and looked destroyed. The blinds were destroyed. I reported this immediately to *******, the property manager, and she failed to remediate the situation. Our move-in date had to be pushed back for only a surface level clean, and there was still mold on walls and ceilings. All other issues previously listed were still there. The apartment was not properly vacated or move-in ready. I want a full refund for everything Ive paid: rent, fees, etc.

      I have been dealing with roaches for months. Pecan creek apartments in ******* ***** has violated my rights and has isolated me they reply to others but not me and one of the other women of my color. This is discrimination. They have refused to reply to me regarding the roaches. I haven't heard from anyone in weeks. I don't want then just spraying to get rid of roaches temporarily I need my apartment treated in a way that kills the roaches. They are not using a pest control company that is known for actually kills roaches. Maintenance is lazy and doesn't want to fill the holes.This has also lead to a decline in my overall health.For this I want 2 months in rent refunded NOT CREDITED but refunded and I want them to finish the job.

      We have been charged a month to month rent as if weve moved out on top of our normal rent. We were un able to sign a lease renewals due to issues with your resident portal and now were being penalized for it. We have screenshots. This isnt the first target issue weve had with one of your complexs. Along with surprise eviction notice saying we had a week to vacate, trying to charge us extra in initial fees tho we got in under a special. And moving 9 people into a 2 bedroom, losing our proof of insurance on multiple occasions along with our walk thru photos and claiming they still dont have access to them. I can provide documentation with business contact

      The roofs of the apartment complex are not closed off for whatever design reasons, which allows for birds and other critters to crawl through and inhabit the insulation. I live on the 3rd floor, which is the highest floor, and have put in multiple complaints about the disturbance of pigeons in my roof (which had been causing me to lose sleep as I expressed to them. I finally scheduled a time that worked with my schedule for them to remove the pigeons from my ceiling insulation. I had to remove everything in my room for this. The work was complete, but then surely enough, the pigeons came back. I scheduled another request and was told by the Property Manager (I have a voicemail he left) on 7/20 that the work would be completed 7/26. I called in the next day on 7/21 to confirm this appointment since I missed the call at the end of their day the day before. When I called to confirm, the Assistant Manager, ****, told me that he thinks they may be able to do it 7/27. I explained that the Property Manager told me that he had it scheduled for 7/26. He said okay, he would put it as confirmed for 7/26. When Wednesday 7/26 came around I had a feeling that they wouldnt come (due to my every communication effort being disregarded and not followed up with previously), so I called the office at 11am to confirm once again. I asked when I could expect someone to come out, and the office attendant said he wasnt sure if they would have time that day. I had to argue with them to get maintenance out to remove the pigeons. Maintenance didnt finish the patch work & the maintenance man told me they would be back tomorrow (7/27) to finish painting. Again, I had to remove everything from my room, so I couldnt sleep in my room. To make matters worst, they didnt come the next ******* once again had to call them for answers. After 2 days of being disregarded, I went to the office & spoke with ****, who was very dismissive & interruptive. I gave up & told him to forget about the painting.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments and feedback about your experience at Mercer Crossing.

      In follow-up to our phone conversations, we will continue our best efforts in getting this taken care of, we have scheduled a contractor to take additional measures in getting this resolved.

      Our A/C went out in our unit a little over a month ago. Today was the 4th maintenance request i have filed for the same issue. I kept being told that the issue was fixed when in fact the issue was never resolved until today when i had to personally go down to the office and complain just to make sure it would get done today. My unit was set at 70 degrees and would barley get below 75 degrees. The last few days my unit has been 80 degrees and miserable. I have all timeline proof and pictures. My electric bill is through the roof due to the A/C trying to constantly run. After being told it was fixed the last 3 times i was told by the office why didnt you call and tell me it wasnt fixed? Why should i have to do that when multiple work orders have been filed for the same issue in a months time. Either my rent or my electricity bill needs to be compensated for. This is ridiculous and out of line. Its been over 100 degrees outside this whole month. i had to deal with extreme temperatures while my A/C didnt work but according to the office it was. Finally as of today it is now fixed. That doesnt make up for the month worth of charges i feel i shouldnt have to pay due to this not being my fault by any means.

      Hello,

       

      Kindly refer to attached work orders, and the chronological sequence of events outlined below.

      ************************* submitted a work order on March 21, 2023, stating that the A/C or heat was constantly running and would not turn off. We addressed and resolved the issue on the same day.

      On June 20, 2023, ************************* reported a work order indicating that the A/C seemed to need Freon, as the apartment was taking too long to cool down. We addressed and resolved this matter on June 21, 2023.

      Another work order was submitted by ************************* on June 27, 2023, reporting that the apartment reached 80 degrees for two consecutive days and would not cool down beyond 73 degrees. The thermostat had been consistently set at 70 degrees. We conducted an inspection and found that the cooling was functioning properly again, considering the outdoor temperature ranging from 100 to 103 degrees.

      On July 18, 2023, ************************* reported another work order, stating that the A/C was not cooling and the temperature was set at 70 degrees, but the apartment would not cool down past 75 degrees. We checked the Freon levels and found them to be normal. Similar to the previous instance, the outdoor temperature remained high, between 100 to 103 degrees.

      On Saturday, August 5, 2023, ***** called our office and spoke with *******, the temporary leasing agent, reporting a possible A/C leak. ******* assured ***** that a technician would be dispatched within an hour, as part of our on-call service. Our service manager, ***, promptly arrived, cleaned out the drain line, and resolved the leak issue. Residents confirmed their satisfaction with the resolution.

      On Sunday, August 6, 2023, we received another call about an A/C leak. *** attended to the matter in the morning and rectified the issue once again. As of today, August 10, 2023, we have not received any further reports of A/C problems.

      We understand that the recent weather conditions in ***** have been exceptionally hot, with temperatures ranging from 100 to 103 degrees over the past two months.

      For your reference, we have attached all the work orders that were submitted for your review. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.

      A contract with Arden Overlook Apartment in ***** **, was signed on 6/16/23, a Deposit of ******* was provided that same day in order to move in the next day (6/17/23). On the moving day 6/17/23 we had to call an employee from the office so they could walk the unit with us since it was infested with roaches. Video and pictures available. I requested an immediate cancelation of my contract, and we were advised by the manager (***************************) that she was going to talk to her Regional Manager in order to cancel contract and return the deposit fee. This never happened. I had to call everyday since and also visit the premises to talk to ***************** and see what resolution she found on my case, and she never showed her face to me. Her assistant kept giving excuses that she was in meetings, calls, or out of the office. During those days I went to the unit and this was never cleaned so a Health Inspector was requested by me to visit the unit and they found roaches and mouse excrement in the kitchen and inside the oven. A report was filed and they advised the unit was no place for a 3 month old baby to live (or anyone else until it was thoroughly cleaned and fumigated.Finally on 7/29/23 ***************** had time for me, and she went ahead and cancelled the contract and the keys of the unit were returned to her. She again advised that she was going to talk to the regional manager for the return of the deposit. Me and my mother had been calling Arden Overlook and Valiant Residential (the company that manages this complex) to get a hold of anyone that has an actual answer on where is my money. They never answers the phone nor the voice messages. I need the return of the deposit in order to be able to pay the new unit I have been approved to rent. They will hold this unit for a couple of weeks only. This is urgent.19 business days to find a solution on how to return funds to a customer, whose money was taken from the bank account the same day without any issues, is enough.

      I am inquiring about refund of security deposit of $565. The apartment at Skyline at Farmers Market **************************************************************************** was vacated on April 27, 2023. On June 2nd I learned they did not have a forwarding address I provided that address.

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.
