      I applied for an apartment with *************** in ****** *****. After I paid $215 which is normally non refundable I inquired about submitting my bank print outs from my credit union which were signed, stamped by bank manager and he provided his business card for verification. *************** statements dont look like regular bank statements this is why O went the extra mile to see if itll be any issue with documents because who has money to burn. I tried to explain to the leading agent this but I felt uncomfortable and transfer money from the account I used to another account. I was going to search for another apartment. Three days later I got email stating it was a return check. I honestly didnt care and was still searching for an apartment. I got an email 4 days later saying congratulations I was approved. I was happy. I contacted them and advised about the return payment anc was told its a $75 fee but if I brought in $290 thatll be fine. Long story short after I paid the $290 I was ran in circles. Snappt advise the complex they would have to manually review documents but when I advise complex they said they dont do manual reviews. I loved the unit so I was very patient and attempted to get them to review bank printout printed by bank manager. They started ignoring me and my messages. I must admit Snappt was very professional and responsive and they backed me up about the leading complex needed to manually verify my bank print outs. By this point I reached out to Avenue5 in ******* as well as the complex and Snappt on the same email anc the only person responsive was Snappt. I gave up and applied for another complex and was approved and they accepted my bank documents and verified with bank manually. Now Im realizing the complex pretended to approve me just to trick me to bring the $290. Im requesting a complete refund and I can provide documents proving emails.

      Hello,

      We understand the dispute on your charges upon move-out. Avenue5 Residential no longer manages ***************, so the associates you spoke with are no longer employed by Avenue5.

      This company has given me and my roommate nothing but problems. They assigned and charged my roommate for a parking spot that was already filled by someone else THREE TIMES, and her car was towed this last time. When we got the car the towing company said this was the third time THAT WEEK, that they had towed a car that was in a double sold slot.I couldn't stand to stay there my whole lease when we were NOT getting our money's worth, I gave them a 30 days notice to get my name off the lease in December of last year, paying them $500 to do so; they did not take my name off. My roommate paid $1000 to change units, and they are still trying to charge her rent for the previous unit that she no longer lives in. My credits score is suffering because of their negligence, and they are trying to profit for a service they are not providing.

      I am owed $500 dollars from this company, due to them not providing the service I paid for, ( Removing my name from a lease.) 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 03/08/2023

      I contacted the ******** apartments about having my name removed from a lease that me and my then roommate shared, I was advised that I would need to give a thirty day notice and pay a $500 fee. So, I gave my notice on December 14th and moved out January 28th. I just recently noticed that the apartment is still charging me for the now un occupied unit. (My roommate transferred to a one bedroom.) I have called them 8 or nine times and have spoken with the property manager once. She advised me that they never received my check or any communication about taking me off the lease. I then sent them the email with the inquiry about removing my name, and their employee advising me about the 30 days notice. The property manager then told me that their policy was 60 days, so in addition to the rent they were charging, they are trying to charge me a skip fee which is equivalent to two months rent. Added together it would come to around $5700.00. I have missed work and lost sleep over this, Im not paying them another cent. This is the location at *********************************************

      Run, don't walk from this property management company.My husband and I moved into ******************** in 2020 and this company and its management team have been a disaster from day one. Amongst our many grievances are misrepresented unit amenities, insane rent hikes, and lack of competent management. We are now two months post-move-out and are still having to deal with their unprofessionalism and mismanagement.The most recent issue weve encountered is moving out. We had a walk-through with the maintenance manager and he said our place was in excellent condition and didn't anticipate us getting hit with any charges - just make sure we cleaned well. To us, this meant the standard deep cleaning of the entire house, and appliances, patching, and painting the nail holes. When we got our final move-out paperwork we were shocked. They sent us a final invoice that we owed them a total of $1,026 for "deep cleaning" (no breakdown), carpet cleaning, carpet stretching (in rooms there was no carpet), pressure washing of both decks (only had one), and a bleach and grease stain. One of the two invoices for $395 from a third party WASNT EVEN OUR UNIT, it had a completely different unit named on it. When my husband called to clear up that they had sent us the wrong final invoice, the manager simply responded "Ya that might not be your unit, but I would expect to have similar charges on your final one. Which makes absolutely ZERO sense! It would be like going to a restaurant and saying you got the other tables bill and the server says Youre right, you didnt order that but Im sure yours is a similar total. He said he would get back to us in a couple of days, but that was two weeks ago and we have not heard anything or received our correct invoice. They are illegally holding our $500 deposit since it has been over 31 days since we moved out and have not received our correct final move-out paperwork. This company is crooked, greedy, and will find a way to steal your money.

      I paid $322 total, $22 for the application fee and $300 to hold the apartment, to Avenue 5 Residential for leasing at ******************** Apartments. I was approved and sent a Welcome letter stating my move in date is 2/11. I completed all of the necessary steps to move in. I got there on 2/11 and they stated the apartment wasn't ready. They were unable to tell me when the apartment would be ready. They stated they will contact me on the following Monday, I was never contacted. I tried calling, and got their voicemail. I took off work on 2/14, waited for nearly an hour, the leasing rep stated he was waiting on a call from maintenance. The leasing rep never heard form maintenance, so it took me to the apartment, where it was clearly not ready. There was a hole in the wall, the carpet was filthy and there was still food in the refrigerator. He stated they will get on it, I have been constantly calling, always get the voicemail. I contacted the corporate office (Avenue 5 Residential) on 2/24 , they stated they will have the area manager check to see what was going on and contact me Monday 2/27. I haven't heard from them. I would like my full refund back, I moved out of my apartment with the promise I would be moving in on 2/11 and I haven't heard from them.

I do not show it as cashed so I am happy to get the check canceled and reissued via our accounting department today.  Can we get confirmation that the address is correct before I request an expedited payment to him?

      Hello, I am the property manager here at Ridgeate Apartments. Unfortunately, ******* Pack is stating that she did not apply for any **************, when in fact she did. Please look at the documents that she signed an online application and such on 9.09.2022. When she decided to cancel her application on 9.14.2022, she was already charged an application fee as well as a holding deposit for the unit. When someone cancels and the application did go through, they are still charged these amounts although they cancel their application. As a curtesy I did remove these charges and send her screenshots that she had a $0 balance. When this happens it could take 5-7 business days to get to our collection agency to show that this person does not have a balance on their account which she did not give the allotted time to have that show. Please take a look at all the attachments.

      The past resident does in fact owe the following items listed on their move out ledger.

      Move out final charges are as follows:

      Finial rent and utilities charges.

      Deep clean due to the unit was left is a dirty state. Photographs and notes are on file and can be provided.

      Damages left in the apartment from shelf's glued to the drywall throughout the apartment which resulted in damage when removed. Damage to sliding glass windows. 

      Trash out of items left in the home.

      Keys were returned (2/6/2023) after said date which caused the charges on the ledger to reflect a late fee that will stand.

      Also DEEP cleaning was NOT performed as this unit was GUTTED and REMODELED after our move out.

      Also, the DEMAND LETTER WE invoked on this Company for CREDIT CARD FRAUD was not deduced from their INFLATED STATEMENT.

      Attached is the Lease contract from our current MOVE IN on 02/02/2023.

      The other attachment is the FILED DEMAND letter we submitted for the Credit Card OVERCHARGES with evidence that NO service fee for using credit cards in the 7 years prior were implemented until 10/01/2022, without notifying us of the fee implementation.

      My partner and I moved out of an Avenue5 property (************************, "************") at the end of September. We had the apartment cleaned prior to move out (for $200) and there was no damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. Avenue5 proceeded to charge us $400 for a move out "cleaning fee" because we did not hire the cleaning company they recommended. We were actually asked when handing in our keys if we hired ****** specifically. Spruce is the name of the cleaning company which must be associated with or owned by Avenue5, although they don't share that information with residents. They give residents' information to Spruce upon move in (without their consent) and you receive spam marketing emails from Spruce throughout the time you live in an Avenue5 property. They do not tell residents that they will be billed $400 if they don't hire Spruce. After the surprise bill, they hounded us for months and never provided an explanation of what in the apartment was beyond normal wear and tear. They sent us photos of a locked HVAC closet that we did not have the keys to and charged us for cleaning that. In December, they arbitrarily knocked half the bill off and continued sending us requests to pay. When we refused, because we couldn't get any straight answers from their billing department, they offered us a "settlement" of $144. When I went online to pay with a credit card (because I am exhausted from 5 months of this) I was charged a $13 processing fee (paying $157 in total). This is an absolutely predatory company that should not be able to own residential buildings. They know they're dealing with less sophisticated parties and they take full advantage. Their employees have no idea what they're doing and can't answer basic questions about the charges.

      Hi, 

      What exactly is requested to be refunded? $137.22 of the move out statement was for used utilities alone and $151.55 was invoiced and charged back to the resident for the carpet cleaning with pet treatment. We do not control the banking fees that cards charge for payment so that unfortunately us out of our control. Stated in the complaint, there was a settlement agreement completed already.

      Thank you,

      I resided for one year at ******************************************************. It has been problematic the whole time. It is a non-smoking community, but people smoke and unfortunately I had several smokers in my building. The grounds were also great in the front and horribly dirty in the back of the community, where I lived. I decided early to move out after one year. The complaint is about my move out process. I hired a cleaning company and they cleaned my apartment for 4 hours for roughly $ 170. Avenue 5 also suggests scheduling a walk through, which I did. I had a walk through with a new Maintenance Manager. They had their 2nd day when we did the walk through. They told me that my apartment was really clean and that the only thing they found wrong was a set of blinds in my living room. They were non working from the beginning, but I did not claim that on my move in inspection and since leadership changed, I can no longer prove that it was broken from before I moved in. I was charged $45 for that. The contract states that if I cleaned reasonably, I will not be charged for more cleaning. However, I was charged for another $ 145 cleaning fee. If you add this to the amount already paid, it is about $ 324. *****************************, Assistant Manager, told me that this is standard. (It is not what the contract says) However, it is not what the contract stated. (I also had cats and paid a non refundable $300 and I was told that this was going to be used for damages or cleaning when I move out.) **** told me via email that I need to take this up with billing. I should not get the runaround for this. Instead of getting a refund, I am looking at paying more money to Avenue5. I do not want to pay for cleaning twice. Please help me with this issue!

      To Whom it may concern, 
      Regarding the complaint below we do charge a standard fee of $145 to clean the apartment upon move out. This is a normal standard charge that is charged to everyone at move out before the next resident occupies the apartment. Management has graciously offered to reverse that fee as a courtesy after reviewing pictures of the cleanliness of the apartment. This has been submitted to our billing department and your charges will be updated within the next 30 days. Please contact our office if you have any questions. Thank you!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and I accept the response from Zone Apartments. 

      My hope is that my action will help other tenants, so they won't have to go through this agonizing process.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: I have filed a complaint about this business before. This is the old BBB Claim #******** They agreed to give me my refund of my security deposit and they claimed they mailed a check, but I never received it. I have been trying to get them to respond to me, with no luck. I appreciate your assistance with this issue.

      We'd be more than happy to clear up any issues with billing you may be experiencing. We no longer manage the property as of April 2023, so you will need to reach out to ******************************** for assistance.

      Hi there,

      I really appreciate the response. The fact that I now again am being asked to reach out to the email address I sent all my other complaints to, is raising a red flag. They simply won't respond. They can look up my emails and send a check. That would be an acceptable solution. 

      Thank you so much.

      Hello ******, 

      The Company has not gotten back to me. I have contacted them so many times, I am sure they blocked me. I got no more response. 

      It is obvious that the Company does not care if they owe someone money. In 20 years living in the US and moving frequently, I have never not have a landlord give me back a security deposit. 

      Not only did the outside look like h*** (which is why I moved), it was also a non-smoking property, where everyone smoked. 

      Thank you so much for trying. I love that people can see my never resolved claim for three years. 

      Thanks again,

      I was a resident of **** Apartments in ******* from June 19, 2021 to December 18, 2022. According to the lease, I have a $350 security deposit and a $200 animal damage deposit for a total of $550.After moving out on December 27, 2022, I received a call from Avenue5 billing telling me I still have bills regarding sewer, water, community utilities, etc. which was $295.32. I made it clear to the representative that I still had a $550 deposit and should be able to cover that cost. However, the representative told me that they do not process deposits and that it would be handled separately by **** Apartments and not Avenue5. I called **** and they told me that their system had not completed the process yet. However, the representative from Avenue5 called me again and insisted that I pay, despite what I told him **** told me. Therefore, I made the payment and received the receipt on December 27, 2022.On January 10, 2023, I called **** and asked about my deposit. They sent me another notice indicating that after the $550 deposit, I still need to pay $80.32. However, this notice does not showing the $295.32 which I have already paid on December 27, 2022. If this payment is taken into account, it means I overpaid by $215. At the end of the call, the **** representative asked my payment receipt back to investigate.In the meantime, there were several calls, but it is worth mentioning that on February 16 2023, **** mentioned that they did not have the permission on financial, which would be Avenue5 responsibility to handle. I did try to call Avenue5 three times on the morning, noon and afternoon of February 17, 2023, but there was no answer.I got a successful call on February 18, 2023. However, I was shocked by their reaction that they blamed me, saying it was my fault I made the extra $215 payment and hung up on me 3 times. Despite the evidence I provided, the answer they eventually gave me is Avenue5 don't do refund for what I overpaid.

      If you read my original message, I have already contacted both BEAM and BBB the only thing I got was procrastination and no action. And I was even blamed by BBB it was my fault. I am not going to let you humiliate me again. The business should just send me the check to reconcile this.

      As mentioned in previous comments, I have contacted the business but they are not trying ti resolve the issue but just not responding to me. It is kind of annoying that this business just keeps loop the same comment in this BBB thread but not replying to me directly which I have already reached out to them.
