  Sundance Property Management LLC is forcing homeowners in ********** ******* Manufactured Home Community to sign a lease that is written for rental homes and apartments, or we have to pay an extra $75 for MTM. We do not rent our homes, only the land lot. Whether we sign the lease or not, we are being forced to waive our legal rights. Not only is Sundance shifting the cost of upkeep and repairs of our park facility onto the residents (street lights, patios, driveways, concrete pads, utility meters, sidewalks, etc.) but the rules in the lease are arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable for homeowners. We were not given 30 days notice on the new lease or the new $75 fee. We're lucky to get 2 weeks notice, if any at all. Sundance has also refused to give any of us a hard copy of the new lease, nor is one one posted in a conspicuous place within the park. Everything is done on Sundance's online portal, where many of us have suffered the issue of being double charged for rent (the portal is not reliable). We have been asking Sundance to provide us a lease written for homeowners since they took over our park in 2019 but they keep trying to make us sign leases written for their rental homes and apartments. We WANT to sign a lease - no one wants to live here without rules, but we shouldn't be forced to give up our rights. For example, in the 5 short years that Sundance has managed our park, we have been through 5 park managers and 4 regional managers. In this new lease, we're required to "get permission" if we're leaving our home for 10 days or more. We don't know anything about their employees or their backgrounds, so why should we have to let management know when no one will be in our home? It's not just a violation of privacy, it's a matter of security. All we want is a lease that abides by ORC chapter 4781 and is delivered to us in writing, either by certified mail or delivered by hand. This shouldn't be too much to ask of a property management company.

  The lease you hold is specifically for the lot, and as per
  the agreement, we are allowed to include additional fees provided they are
  clearly stated within the lease. For your convenience, a digital copy of your
  lease agreement is available in your resident portal. You're welcome to print a
  copy for your records directly from there.
  
  Regarding park management, we have experienced some
  turnover. However, our current Manager, who has been with us for over a year
  now, continues to do an exceptional job. Additionally, one of our Property
  Managers has been promoted to District Manager to help oversee the community.
  Furthermore, our Regional Manager who has diligently overseen the community for
  the past two and a half years, has been promoted to Senior Regional Manager.
  I'm pleased to inform you that they still maintain oversight of this community.
  
  We appreciate your cooperation in keeping us informed of any
  extended absences on your part. This is simply a precautionary measure to
  promptly address any unusual occurrences that might occur while you are gone.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ** ********* and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

  I'm disappointed (but not surprised) in the lack of effort applied by Sundance toward my complaint. I attached a copy of the 36 page lease from my portal and I clearly pointed out multiple issues on the copy but Sundance only addressed one single issue. Please allow me to elaborate a few parts of the lease agreement:

  1.6 OBLIGATIONS OF RESIDENT

  pg. 3 (g) “maintain in good working order and condition any furnishings and other contents, if any, in or on the Lot, which are supplied by the Management, all of which shall be maintained at the sole cost and expense of the Resident”

  ***Maintenance of sidewalks, driveways, concrete pads under homes, water hydrants, electric meters, gas meters and water meters are the responsibility of Sundance (part of the lot), unless damage is due to abuse or negligence by homeowner.

  ***Columbus Ordinance Code Columbus Ordinance Code

  (A)All manufactured home park roadways shall be lighted at night by no less than three-tenths footcandle of artificial light and all wiring shall be of the underground type.(B)Street light poles and luminaries shall comply with the standards for residential street lighting on file in the office of the Division of Electricity

  **we were recently told the street lights are now our obligation to maintain or discard by park management

  1.7 REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
  pg. 5 - “Without the prior written consent of Management, resident shall not make any repairs or alterations to the Lot or the Resident’s Home.”
  *** We own our homes. Management does not control maintenance/alterations inside the home, as long as community rules and state codes are being followed.

  1.10 LANDLORD'S LIEN
  pg. 5 - “For any unpaid Rent or Additional Rent, a lien is hereby reserved upon the Lot and the interest of Resident therein in favor of Owner, prior and preferable to any and all other liens thereon whatsoever.”
  *** According to ORC 4781.49

  6.1 REQUIRED LIABILITY/RENTERS INSURANCE

  The property in which you are renting ********** ******* at *** ********** ****** ********* OH 43207 "does require to be a secondary insured on a renter's insurance policy"
  For the duration of the Lease Agreement dated 07/01/2023 , if property requires to be a secondary insured on a renter's policy Resident has agreed to obtain, at his/her/their expense, general liability insurance (the “Insurance”) from a qualified insurer in an amount not less than $100,000.00 per occurrence covering the Resident for maintaining contents of, fire, theft, water damage and general liability insurance for the Premises and Resident’s acts therein, as the Manager is not responsible for any personal property or Resident liability. The Insurance shall provide for the real property Owner, who is ********** ******* and the Manager, both as additional insureds or as interested parties to the Insurance.

  ***Sundance is not insured by our home insurance policy. Sundance does not own our manufactured home and is not a beneficiary of our insurance policy. Sundance is only listed as "interested party", as instructed in 2022.

  Throughout the lease, we are called "********** ******* Apartments" and "Lakeshore Estates". The words "tenant", "renter", "renter's insurance" are also used throughout the lease. In the State of Ohio, we are recognized as "residents" because we own our home.

  There are a lot more errors in the lease but I'm only allotted 30 mins to reply. Please refer to the edit lease I attached to my original complaint. All we want is a lease that is legal for homeowners in Columbus, OH to sign. I cannot legally bind myself to the terribly written (and confusing) lease we were given.

  I have reached out to the Regional regarding your shower tiles, and someone with be in touch shortly with a plan. In regards to your rent, your total monthly rent is $1,137.50, this includes rent, MTM fee, and the waiver fee (liability insurance requirement). Rent is due no later than the 5th of each month. Since you have paid after the 5th, you are also incurring a late fee.

  When we moved into ***** ******* ****** **** ****, I submitted a letter from my doctor for a ESA Service Dog along with any information they requested. Fast forward a couple of years, I was late on my rent. I received a late notice via email and my payment history was attached to the notice. It was then I seen I was charged a $200 deposit along with a monthly fee of $25 with the sum total being about $500. I have gone back and forth with management to have the issue resolved. She is nearly impossible to reach and you an forget about getting a phone call from her. She did finally respond to a text message stating "******* I can not remove fees for the charges of the pet that are from 2020-2021. We did not have an ESA at that time for you pet.
  
  Sundance Property Mgmt
  Reply STOP to unsubscribe"
  
  I had to include this letter before we moved in.
  
  
  I have received a couple of emails saying they could not find the letter and it had been resubmitted.
  Management also lost my renters insurance letter and stated they didn't have one on file. Again, this letter was given/submitted to Sundance before we moved in. I had to resubmit it twice. I don't know what's going on with the staff but it seems like there is a communication barrier.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and it is unclear if the Sundance plans on refunding the charges from move in to current? A ESA letter was provided prior to move in ($200) along with a recurring "pet fee" charge every month thereafter? The total reimbursement should be $600.

  During our 2 year stay at ****** ** **********, we dealt with several areas of the home leaking and started documenting on May 8th, 2022. These leaks consisted until we moved out April 16th, 2023. We had a leak in the main hallway from the AC unit, 1 in the master bedroom closet which spread to the main bedroom/vanity, 1 in the spare bedroom closet, and one that occurred when their contracted siding crew damaged the front window, the wall around the window, and damaged an interior socket so badly it was ripped from the wall, creating a large hole to the outside. We had placed multiple work orders about the issues, two work orders were marked complete without the maintenance ever showing and several were deleted by management. Since we could no longer trust their management/maintenance team and their online site, we started to call the office, management, their answering service, email, text and meet the management in office to resolve these issues. Most phone calls, ALL emails and ALL voicemails went unanswered. The times maintenance did show up, the leaks were never repaired and we were told that cleaning the mold and water damage was the tenants responsibility. We received a bill from ****** ** ********** stating that the water and mold damage would be written off as pet damage since their was pet hair present and that we would be charged $1100 to replace the carpet and charged an additional $150 to paint over the damage their crew did to the window, wall, and outlet.
  I first spoke to the property manager, Eric Engle, on 05/03/2023 about the charges and explained that the water, mold, window, and wall damage was due to their neglect. He preceded to insult us and complain that we had a dog in the home, which we signed for on the contract, paid the $300 deposit for and $40 monthly pet rent. We followed up the call with an email and a certified mail/letter, both of which have been ignored.
  My fiancé had to go the doctor to treat his irritated eyes due to mold.

  After reviewing the resident communication file, and move out pictures, it is likely had the carpet not been damaged by pets we would not have had to replace it. However, since the resident did experience a number of issues in the apartment, we have agreed to only charge half the cost we charged to replace the carpet. An updated move out statement will be issued this week.

  We disagree that the carpet needs to be replaced due to pet damage. However, we are tired and simply want to move on from such a horrible experience. We will pay 50% of the fee as Sundance offered. As of today, the bill has not been amended. Once the bill has been amended, we will pay.

  Sundance bought out our apartment complex around November. I turned in my lease renewal 10/27/2022. (I have made copies & a photo of the renewal). A few weeks later, I receive a call from ******** who is now the location manager, asking if I wanted to renew my lease since my lease was almost over. I explained I turned it in weeks prior. She said she could not find it, in order to continue living there, I had to sign another one. The copy and photo I had was not sufficient enough. The first one she gave me listed the rent at $960. My rent that I agreed on the original renewal was $775. I told her I would not do that. After going back and forth, She then said she had it approved by corporate to list my rent at $775. However, they snuck in $65 in fees in the new lease. And this new lease was only a 6 month agreement, whereas my original was a year. at the end of April i have to move out due to personal reasons. I tried calling every day, leaving voicemails &sending emails to ******* for weeks. No one would ever return my calls or emails. I finally get someone on the phone, and they said I could move out no problem and to turn my keys in on May the first. My rent and fees are taken off the resident portal. On April 28 (the Friday before May 1), the rent is put back on the portal. I email ******* immediately, no response. I finally go up to the office, the lady took my keys & said she would get another girl to take it off the portal. A few days go by, it's still there. I call again, no answer. I finally find another number and was able to get ******* on May 10. She would not listen to me, spoke over me, & called me a liar about EVERYTHING. I had enough of not being listened to and said can I speak to someone higher up, I don't feel heard. And she said, "no this ***** didn't" and hung up on me. I call back in tears and left a voicemail for someone to call me back, no one did. 6 days later, there is a $2500 charge in my account that has to be paid by the end of the month.

  We believe this is taken care of now. Our Property Manager charged a lease
  break fee when her lease ended on May 31st. Our Senior Regional spoke to the resident
  and had this corrected.

  I am a previous tenant of ************ ***** Apartments which was under management of Sundance Property Management a few months before my lease ended, on 01/31/2023. Upon move in, I paid a deposit of $250. For several reasons, I decided to move out of the property I was residing in. I sent my vacate notice to the property on 11/28/2022, which constituted the 60-day notice period. On 02/11/2023, I received a letter regarding the security deposit return. Sundance Property Management charged me $127.37 for an electric bill. I knew this couldn't be correct as I had paid the final electric bill of $119.25 on 02/13/2023. The final bill was not due until 02/14/2023. I have been requesting a refund since receiving the letter from Sundance and have not been reimbursed. I have also contacted the electric company and they have stated that they have not received any payment other than the $119.25 that was paid by me on 02/13/2023. I am now being told by Sundance that ************ ***** is under new management and to reach out to the property directly. However, the property manager is telling me to contact Sundance. As you can expect, this has been a frustrating experience. Neither Sundance nor ************ ***** will take responsibility for this and issue a refund. I am, once again, requesting a full refund of $127.37 that was taken from my security deposit.

  We have confirmed the final water bill was paid by both the resident and the Management Company. Since the management of the property has changed, ******* ******** Management is the one that will need to issue the refund since they are the ones who now have the owner funds. Sundance does not have those owner funds any longer. I will send an email to ******* regarding this issue, so they can issue the refund.

  I did send an email to the Regional with ******* ******** Management, and they did confirm they will get this taken care of and issue the refund.

  I received a response from the Accounts Receivable Manager on 05/23/2023 that she had reached out to the Regional Manager at ******* ******** Management and I have yet to receive a refund or hear anything from *******.

  The deposit refund was made out to your mothers estate, which is how we have to address it. You should be able to provide documentation to the bank showing you are handling her estate matters.

I received a check but it's not in my name it's in my deceased mother's name I'm her beneficiary I showed you her death certificate you know exactly what you're doing for some reason you want to make this difficult I came to the office and spoke with the manager she contacting me by email to speak with her section 8 caseworker to close her case she knew I was over everything that concerned my mother and there were charges y'all charge her for in the apartment when we never did a walk-through after I gave her the keys so I'm not sure if the $500 is correct

  You need to take the death certificate and beneficiary to the bank for them to cash the check. We cannot make the check out to you, only to her Estate. If you provide the bank the documentation, they will cash the check.

  I took the check to the bank and showed them the death certificate and the proof that I was her beneficiary they said I will have to go to court to cash it or for me to contact the property manager to put it in my name I'm sure you knew that that is the reason why you put it in my mother's name to begin with the property manager had no problems  contacting me to clean my mother's apartment out and to speak with her section 8 caseworker so she could get the last month's rent but now you can't put her security deposit in my name even after I showed you her death certificate with my name on it and proof we had a joint make account at the time the check came from the same bank if it wouldn't have took you two months to send me the check the bank account would have still been open I'm sure that's why you waited so long to send it this is ridiculous and horrible business and property Management

  We've never had anyone not be able to cash the check made out to the estate. You were not a lease holder, so it must be made out to the estate.

  Regards, I would have been able to cash the check if it was sent out in the normal 30 to 60 days you were supposed to send it but I closed the joint bank account I had with my mother but the first conversation we had you asked to send proof I sent death certificate with my name on it you still have a problem with sending it I have no other choice but to contact a lawyer with all the stress this has caused me and doctors visits with this unnecessary stress I've had because of this and have this conversation posted publicly for everyone to see how stonebridge apartments does business I'm done going back and forth about it
