Before submitting this formal complaint, I read the other comments regarding this agency, and I too have experienced all of the same instances of mishandling. Me being a 3 year resident with consistent on time payments did not make a difference. I have been terribly mistreated and even plotted on by the management agency. Excessive fees, ignoring many of my maintenance requests, staff being cruel and disrespectful. I'm not even sure where to start or stop with all of the issues.
I accepted an apartment "as-is" for deficiencies of the previous tenant including a broken cooktop which is clearly a fire hazard. By accepting, I was not liable and it was agreed on by both parties. There was a staff change and all of a sudden the charges are assessed again? This is unacceptable, unjust and probably illegal. I am currently renting another apartment in the complex and it seems like a pattern of mistreating tenants nationwide. There is also a class action lawsuit pending with Greystar in different states.
I truly hope something will be done about this, because people can’t continuously be treated this way by one agency, when we are all just doing what we can.Customer Answer

I am a current resident in the Asher community of Fremont California. I experienced a severe breach of security and would like to terminate the lease immediately without buy-out fee.
While I was away in July 2025, the apartment's maintenance team entered my unit for a fire alarm inspection. On July 13th, a key was discovered left in the exterior door lock. A torn fire inspection notice was also on the floor. The fire inspection was scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of that week, meaning the key was left exposed in my door for at least 4 days.
Requirement:
I am requesting to be released from my lease agreement without penalty.
1. Egregious Negligence: Leaving key in the door is a severe security lapse that put my personal safety and belongings at extreme risk, making the premises unsafe and therefore "uninhabitable" in a broader sense.
2. Loss of Trust: This incident fundamentally undermines my ability to feel safe and secure in my own home. It's difficult to continue a tenancy when I can't trust the landlord.
3. Community's Lack of Awareness: The fact that no one noticed the missing key for nearly 2 weeks highlights a severe lack of proper procedure and oversight on the community's part.
Key Legal Principles:
1. Breach of Quiet Enjoyment
2. Negligence and Security(California Civil Code sections, such as 1941.3.)
3. Landlord Entry Rules (California Civil Code 1954): The fact that the fire inspection notice was "torn apart on the floor" and the key was found on a Sunday could indicate a violation.
I tried to contact with community team but it was extremely difficult to communicate with regarding this serious issue. They has sent repetitiveemails to decline my requirement.
they has also made statements like: "Are you going to end the lease every time it happens? I have seen many of those incidents happened."
Due to this severe breach of security, the resulting loss of trust, I am requesting to be released from my lease agreement without penalty.Business Response

I lived at Santal Apartment complex in Thousand Oaks California from March 2023- August 2024. We were billed for a charge that is completely false. We were charge after we moved out of the apartment an extra day. We were unable to turn in our keys to the office due to the office being closed due to a water leak at the time and we held onto the apartment keys until the following day when the office opened back up. The manager refused to waive the fee even though we did not stay in the apartment an extra day. This extra charge is unethical and i'm requesting for this to be fixed,Business Response

I’m a tenant at Bellrock Summer Street and am filing a BBB complaint due to unprofessional property management and unsafe living conditions.
A damaged bathtub was reported to management on July 21, 2025. Two failed repair attempts were made without notice, using hazardous chemicals that left the tub unusable and caused me to slip and come into direct contact with uncured materials. My health was impacted, and personal belongings were damaged.
I’ve submitted formal lease termination based on Texas Property Code § 92.056. The complex has offered no assistance or accountability and has failed to maintain a safe, habitable unit.
I am requesting the BBB intervene in this matter and ensure no further harm comes to future tenants.Business Response

I am filing a complaint against Greystar Property Management related to an improper charge of $275 and an unjustified $385 penalty that I believe is retaliatory and legally unfounded.
Key Details:
Date of application (occupant): May 19, 2025
Property applied for: The Winnifred (Charlotte, NC – managed by Greystar)
Amount paid: $275 total (including a $75 non-refundable application fee and a $200 administrative fee)
Application signed. No lease was signed.
Date dispute initiated: June 2025 (exact date unavailable, initiated through my bank)
Date of retaliatory charge: July 23, 2025
Dispute status: Still under bank investigation; neither I nor Greystar has been awarded the funds.
What Happened:
On May 19, 2025, I submitted an application to rent at The Winnifred and paid $275. The process required my guarantor to complete a separate form. However, the guarantor form was never delivered due to a technical issue on Greystar’s end.
I contacted Greystar management by email and was told that either the form would be re-sent or I would be refunded. Neither happened. Despite multiple follow-ups by email and phone, I received no response or assistance for an extended period.
Due to the lack of communication and failure to render services, I disputed the $275 charge through my bank in June 2025.
Then, on July 23, 2025, Greystar attempted to charge me an additional $385, claiming it was a result of the dispute. However:
I never signed a lease or agreed to any such penalty.
The application documents provided by Greystar contain no mention of a $385 "move out fee" which is what they attempted to charge because of the dispute.
This charge appears to be retaliation for a lawful dispute under the Fair Credit Billing Act. At the time of the $385 charge, the dispute had not been resolved and no party had received the funds. I consider this a deceptive and abusive practice.Business Response

Moved out of apartment 7/21/25, provided move out notice via email and in person. Greystar did not pro rate my rent during this month as stated in the lease. Grey star is trying to charge me rent for the month of August even though they gave me move out credit on my account. Have called both the local apartment and corporate office several times and left messages at various times of the day. No response from either.Business Response

I am submitting a complaint against Parc at 21st and Rock regarding excessive and unfair move-out charges. Our lease ended July 29, 2025, but we turned in the keys on Monday, July 28. My husband personally handed them to a staff member in the office. However, management later claimed we never returned them, likely due to the employee failing to document the handoff. We were then charged a total of $843.36, which appeared in the resident portal. Charges included: Carpet cleaning: $75, Full paint: $250, Drip pans: $40, Full cleaning: $175, Blinds: $100.
We dispute most of these charges. Aside from the blinds, the unit was left clean and in good condition. We have video evidence from our move-out day showing that the walls and carpets were not damaged, and the unit was cleaned thoroughly. The apartment was already in a run-down condition when we moved in, with visible wear and tear throughout.
We did not pay a direct deposit to the complex; instead, we used Jetty, a third-party deposit service. Despite this, we were charged excessive fees without justification or the opportunity to review or dispute them in advance. Attempts to resolve the issue with apartment staff have been unsuccessful. We were met with indifference and no explanation for the high charges. We are requesting: A detailed, itemized statement with photo evidence of all claimed damages or cleaning issues and Removal or reduction of any unjustified charges from our account. We are prepared to provide video proof of the unit’s condition and hope the BBB can help facilitate a fair resolution.Business Response
