I have not lived at this apartment complex since August of 2021, yet this complex keeps harassing me about my ex husband's power bill (he is still living there). They admit that he has been paying rent on time, but that I am still responsible as well, even though I did not sign a lease for the 2022 rental period and they were served the final separation orders, signed by the judge and certified by the ****** County courthouse, which they themselves requested, so they could "verify" I was no longer responsible for anything where they were concerned. They called me to harass me one more time the very day after I delivered the orders to them. I am now trying to rent an apartment in town, and the management has tried to reach out to them to verify my rental history, but have not received any call back and they are hampering my ability to rent somewhere new with this behavior. If the power company has a problem with me, then they should be the ones calling me for due payment, but they're not because I notified them I was no longer living at that apartment and paid the final **** that had my name still on it with the final meter reading. I need them to respond to the request for rental history promptly and to stop harassing me and letting me rent somewhere else without a blemish in my background.Business Response

Had to complain to my city health department because there is consistently p*** in common areas of the building that mgmt barely does anything about. I also left a review about this problem. Sometimes Im not even sure if its animal or human. Its disgusting. Unlivable. The mgmt does not update amenities included in rent so I feel between the lack of cleaning and the useless amenities I should not be paying full rent on this horrendous situation.Business Response

I am trying to urgently move into an apartment, and they are pulling up that I was evicted from ** Hampton Villas LP 6/14/2019. I have never been evicted. I put in my 60 days notice. The apartment complex is *********************************** **** ************************* *********, **. I feel like I was discriminated against due to having issue with *********, which was the manager at the time. She was very rude, and I attempted to contact corporate regarding her behavior several times and no one ever got back with me. I feel this was done out of retaliation. I left the residence on the scheduled date. I had another issue when living when she told me what the where charging me for when moving out. Things that were very minor like ceiling fan was unclean and she charged a cleaning fee for that and the stove. This is wrongful eviction on my report. It is affecting my ability to get a place to live. I contacted **********************, they said they are under new management and did not have any of my records. I contacted corporate today 2/8/23 she said she will forward and attempt to find someone to help me. She said they no longer have records either.Business Response

My mom and I went in for a tour on 1/8/23 (at their ******** Apartments located at **************************************************************) and we were not completely sure about me moving in just yet because I just moved to **********, but then an employee (*************************) reassured us that we would only be out $50 for the application fee and that if we change our mind about moving in, we would still get the $250 holding deposit back. I decided on waiting to move in because I just moved from ***** to ********** and decided to finish paying off my moving costs instead of moving into an apartment so quickly. I told them I wanted to pull the application because I wasnt ready and they told me I wasnt going to get any of my money back. I paid $300 and was supposed to get $250 back. Now the story changed and they said I was only able to get the $250 back if I was denied. ******* did not mention this when we went to tour. I did the application and deposit to hold the unit, hence the holding deposit. They try to tell me that it mentions this on the last page of the application and it DOES NOT. It says that the APPLICATION FEE isnt refundable which is the $50 I already knew about. There is ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of the $250 DEPOSIT not being refundable. They were completely misleading and I would have never even applied if i knew I was going to be out $300 instead of $50 like they told me. Also, right after they tell me Im not getting the money back, they go silent on me and ignore me for a week. They stopped returning all of my emails. I cancelled my application 1/25/23 and sent them my first follow up email on 1/28/23 and my last follow up email 2/4/23. I sent 5 follow up emails in total. They didnt respond back until 2/5/23. I was still considering this property but after all this, I just want my $250 back and to be done with them.Business Response
Date: 03/27/2023
To whom it my concern,
I am writing to confirm **************** is not entitled to the refund due to her cancellation. While we should have definitely followed up sooner, the reason for her non refund was because her application was approved onsite and as part of the **** affordable housing program. Per Fair Housing regulations we must treat all applications the same and any applicant that is approved and decides not to move for their own reasons is not entitled to a refund. I have attached the breakdown of costs which is handed out to all prospects on tours which shows that the $250 deposits are only owed in the event applications are denied as well as her signed screening criteria and emails in which the approved application was discussed.
Let ** know if we can provide any more information.

One of my neighbors smokes a lot of weed which I don't care however it comes into my unit making the majority of my unit smell like weed. My girlfriend and I have told the office numerous times and it's continued to happen. I really wish they'd correct this as it is stated in the lease this isn't allowed which is one of the things that attracted me to this complex with me being in recovery I don't particularly want to smell someone else's pot. Multiple emails, phone calls and in person office visits and all of my clothing is starting to smell like pot. This us unacceptable and needs to stop. My employer has officially smelled the pot on my cloths and I got sent home. Thanks again for upholding the terms of your lease to the tenants around us.The office refuses to do anything about it. The terms of lease are a bowl they get to pick and choose from.Today marks one month since asking for service with a shower mix cartridge that is stuck on cold with very sad follow up. The part is at Lowes in ********** on the shelf currently and they've claimed they've been waiting for parts.Update 3.0 ******************* changes seemingly monthly. Maintenance is a joke. Took a month to replace my frozen mix cartridge in my shower and installed it 180 degrees off so cold is hot and hot is cold. Replaced a worn out outlet in my bedroom and the light switch doesn't work. He told me he would fix that issue and drop off filters for the **** system the following week and AGAIN had me sitting around all day waiting for him all day. They will not respond to emails or phone calls when addressing anything you may need to reference in the future. No paper trails to hold them accountable I'm assuming is why. Several abandoned vehicles on property that haven't moved in months. Now mail service stopped over a month ago. **** notified them weeks prior to ending service. 16 mile round trip and over half of the amenities are unavailable to us.Customer Answer

To whom this concerns,
This is regarding the complaint above. We have spoken to this resident multiple times and have asked for a unit number they believe it is coming from but we have not received this. Miantenance did try to determine where they thought it was coming from but unable to do so until we got a unit. We sent out a community reminder hoping this would address it as well as paid attention while completing work orders to smells in this building but still unable to determine. The shower cartridge was replace by a vendor in November with no updated work orders and no pending work orders for any other issues. We have daily email chains and calls every 3 days or so upset about cars parked in the free parking and which ones have expired plates that we tag to be towed. We have had multiple vendors out in hopes to repair our mailboxes but unfortunately we have to replace the entire boxes. I have a backdated proposal from our vendor and they have been ordered with a date of 5 weeks until we recieve and 1-2 weeks for the install. Until then **** has agreed to hold all mail and not send back to sender. I did speak to one of the resident this morning from this unit and we did agree to let them out of their lease with no fees or notice needed, I am pending a move out date with a email reiterating our conversation over the phone.

My apartment has been flooding since Nov 6, 2022 . It started off as a small leak and a few weeks ago turned into a huge problem . Several times maintenance has came to my apartment and could not find the root of the problem . I did ask the manger for something off the rent which she would like to do but the regional manger wont agree to it . I believe if I was not a woman of color my issue would have been solved promptly and a deduction would have been taken off my rent .Business Response

On December 16 2022 an amount of $675 was debt from my account to Forty 200. The amount was for $75 application fee, $100 admin fee, and $500 deposit for an apartment. However, the apartment was not approved so management at Forty200 said $600 out of the $675 was refundable to me. As of February 2nd I have been told by Forty200 that I should have received a refund but I have not received my funds back into my account. I have worked with my financial institution to try retrieved through funds but as of now no luck.Business Response

Hello,
We'd like to revisit this issue. Were you able to work with the team at Forty200 and have the refund issued correctly to you?

I moved out of Avenue 5 owned ******** Apartments in **********, ** in mid-Sept 2022. By ** law, they have 21 days to refund any deposit and money owed to residents. While deployed for six weeks, I waited to receive payment and nothing was delivered to the ship. When I returned, I asked that the refund get mailed to **************** since I would be away for months again with Navy commitments. The leasing agent said they would hold it for me and I could pick it up. On Dec 8, 2022, I contacted the office asking where the check was. I was told it was mailed to the ship again, despite me verifying with ***************************** (asst ******** manager) that it would be mailed to ****************. On Jan 5, 2023, I went to the office after sending a legal demand letter, giving them a new address to mail it to. I was told again by ****** that a check would be sent. It is now Jan. 31, 2023 and Avenue 5 LLC has yet to deliver on their promise to give me what I am owed. Its not been four months since I moved out. Looking at other complaints against them and my own neighbors having similar issues, it seems like this company does not want to refund tenants. Their ******** in **********, ** is primarily occupied by service members and their families. Its a shame to see a company doing this to patriots. I want my check. It should not be this difficult getting what is owed to you, especially when I paid on time and held up my end of the agreement. Avenue 5 makes it impossible to contact them directly. They dont answer the phone, call back after messages are left, nor respond to emails and the same can be said about the ******** management office at Ridgetop. If they respond with a lie, I will continue to post reviews.Customer Answer

Hello,
Ridgetop values all of its residents and are grateful to our service members. The refund check in question has now been issued three times, most recently on 1/27/23 after ************ again updated his address with the office.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Alas, the business did not send the refund check to the correct address the second time it was requested- as stated in my original complaint. Also, during the entire process, along with the entire time resident complained of rat infestation, Avenue 5 has never responded to emails nor returned phone calls. One email or phone call with a status update could have prevented my complaint and I believe many of the complaints here. The company has no customer service in place and does not have any method of communicating disputes. Although my refund has been received, the emotional toll and frustration this ordeal has put me through can never be resolved. Until they retool their response system and see their residents as people not just customers, these complaints will continue.
Sincerely,
