      I returned my keys and forwarding address to the drop box on the last day of my lease . 20 days later I had not received my deposit so I decided to call the company and follow up . They stated they did not have my forwarding address . I told them I included it with the keys which they received. I followed back up on the 22nd and they said that my deposit was mailed out the 19th . Before 21 days . I received my check on the 25th which was ultimately not mailed out until the 22nd based on postmark and check date. They lied in their email and I requested the full amount of my deposit per ********** Law . If they refuse to comply again I will be pursuing in Small Claims Court

      Leased during covid. Utopia refused to show property before paying. Paid top dollar rent. Upon move in: heater not operational in ********* electric panel shorts and shocks, doors do not operate or open, garage door safety hazards unable to open when power fails, sinks rusted holes through to see the cabinets, lead paint peeling without disclosure, sliding galvanized track bent and slider inoperable. After 20 calls and three months, get heat. Month 10 roof in unit pours in rain and garage leaks and floods. Utopia blames the *** and fails to act for 20 more months which causes hazardous mold. 4 five gallon buckets filling and dumping, ceilings soaked, electric problems, and Utopia staff {*****, ********, *****} no call back/ pass the blame. After I was forcibly evicted by Utopia refusal to bring to health and safety codes, I give notice but my rent is paid on time and perfect. Staff says I have a lease in perpetuity - until I die in tiny print. Illegal, mean spirited employees who fail to respond to hundreds of maintenance requests. Corporate office in *********, same pass blame. Landlord claims Utopia charged him for repairs which were never completed. Run from this unscrupulous company.
