    I am filing this complaint due to PURE Property Managements negligence, unresponsiveness, and failure to meet basic property management expectations, resulting in financial losses for my rental property ****************************************************************. I request reimbursement of the following:Refund of Three Months' Management Fees PURE failed to provide essential services, including proper communication, billing, and lease enforcement. Their mismanagement caused significant issues, warranting a refund.Reimbursement of Cleaning Fees PURE charged me for cleaning services without proper justification. Given their lack of oversight, I request a full refund.Reimbursement of Lease Break Fee When my tenant broke the lease, PURE improperly charged me the lease break fee, stating I would be reimbursed only if the tenant repaid. As the management company, PURE should have enforced lease terms without shifting financial burdens onto me.Issues with PUREs Management:Billing Negligence: Utility bills went unpaid due to PUREs inaction, leading to late fees and even a bill going to collections.Communication Failures: My tenant contacted me through the *** multiple times due to PUREs lack of response. My own calls and emails were frequently ignored, and different staff members gave conflicting information.Negligent Property Management: PURE lost my keys and garage opener but dismissed the issue, despite documented proof of what was originally provided.PUREs mismanagement has caused undue financial and emotional stress. I expect a full refund of the requested charges. If unresolved, I will escalate this matter to regulatory and consumer protection agencies.

    I rented from this company Oct 2022 up until march 2024. We requested maintenance from them upon move in, never fixed the problems. Would get brought up at inspections, saying theyll fix it and never did. This November I was trying to rent from another apartment complex and they said that we owe them over $1300 from damages on top of the $1550 they kept from the deposit. They never reached out about us having to owe anything to them. The damage left was easily fixable, ex broken blinds, bifold that needed to be popped back into place. We spent a long time cleaning the place before we moved out. We tried to get in contact about why theyre charging us that much but they havent answered any calls or emails from us. The one time I got to talk to someone on the phone she hung up on me. The one time my partner got an answer the guy had an attitude and didnt answer any questions and hung up. All damages left were easily fixable. The damage they say there was doesnt match with what was actually done.

    On July 2, 2024, PURE Property Management turned off the hot water supply to the building in which I live. My unit was without hot water for 14 days. The same issue happened earlier in the year (April 2024), and it was resolved fairly quickly. In that case, there was a total ************* for two days. PURE compensated me in the form of rent rebate the following month ($50).This time, in July, not one staff member acknowledged my queries as to compensation. I was told that my property manager had been fired and they were in a backlog of transition. I called again a couple weeks later and was told they were awaiting the property owner's response. When I gave notice to move out, I inquired once again and was told there would be a credit. There has been no credit. In August, I spoke to a receptionist about move out procedures; I mentioned the water refund issue, and she said she would get back to me with an answer. She did not. In September, I spoke on the phone with my new property manager (**** ******) about move-out procedures, and I mentioned this unresolved issue once more. He said he would immediately email me a response that day. I have not received any email. Since moving out (Sept 30), I have called the office and left a message for him no less than three times. His phone always goes directly to voicemail, and he has not called me back, to date. I would like to know how and when PURE Property Management intends to compensate me for the dates without hot water. RCW 59.18.060 part 11 states: Landlord duties "provide facilities adequate to supply...hot water as reasonably required..." This is a simple request, not complicated. I have not appreciated the lack of professionalism on the part of PURE Property Management. I expect to see a refund forthcoming of no less than $350, which is a simple multiplication of 7 (2days times 7=14 days) if we use the April incident as precedent.

    Pure was managing my property when an elevator repair was needed. They scheduled a time with the elevator maintenance company to make the repair, but no one from Pure showed up. This incurred a trip and wait charge from the elevator company. Everyone I have spoken to at Pure, including the CEO ****, accepts responsibility for this charge, yet they only reimbursed me $968 for the $1185.60. I have been requesting this payment for almost two months. Most recently, I was assured by **** that I would receive the $217 difference owed "within a few days" when we spoke by phone on Tuesday, July 9th. I contacted **** again by email over a week ago, on July 24th, to follow-up, but he has not responded. I am simply asking for Pure to keep their word and for the difference to be paid as soon as possible.

    I saw the message just now that the complaint (ref # ********) was closed. I did receive a response on Friday, Aug 9 from them. They did not reference this complaint.

    They stated, "Accounting is processing a $217 credit that should be transmitted to you early next week."

    I was waiting for the amount to be received before closing the complaint. I waited all last week and as I expected, no funds were received nor any further communication from them. I wrote to them yesterday saying no funds were received and have not received any further communications from them.

    Thank you,
    ****

    We were leaving a property and the owners switched from Orange property management to NRB property management. Then in the middle of our lease they changed to Pure Property Management. When our lease ended we were unable to turn in the key due to no one answering the phone. When I pulled up to the office I saw I was literally a storage unit in the middle of an abandoned parking lot. No one was there. This was the first thing that tipped me off that this company was sketch.Then a few weeks after moving we finally get an email detailing the work that was going to be done along with the final bill. It took a few days of back and forth but I was finally able to confirm that we would be getting a $175 deposit back. Well, we still havent received it. Its been 3 months. No one has answered my calls or emails.

    I went to rental company in ****** to set up my rent payment and with the help of someone in the office it was set to pay automatic on the 6th with approval from office. About a year later I receive notice that I owed money on my rent. I tried calling the office several times, but no response. I went to the bank to check the automatic payment and bank confirmed that my payment was still set up and they were paying the full amount as scheduled. The notices I received was for failing to pay rent and or utilities and or recurring or periodic charges that are past due. I went to ****** office and I spoke ***. I explained to her that a year ago, with the help of an employee in the office, I had set up automatic payment on the 6. I stated that I would not pay the fine because that was the agreement in place for months and had been approved. She told me that my due date needed to be changed to the 5th of the month. I told her fine, the date can be changed, but I will not pay the late fee because that was not my fault. She changed the payment date to the 3rd of the month. *** then said that she needed to check with the owner about the late fee and would let me know. I emailed again because I received another notice and no word about the status of my situation. *** told me that she had emailed the owner and let me know. I received an email asking me to pay the fine. I have $600 in late fees. I started getting late fees in October or November up until March. The letters they sent me, didnt say my rent was posting late. It took me months to figure out what the issue was and all this time I was accruing late fees. I have paid my rent every month. and once I learned that I should change the payment date that was approved by them over a year ago, I did. I would like to file a complaint for the property management-Their mailing is ***************************************
