  My mom, 2-year-old son, and I lived in one of Greystar properties Lakeshore at Altamonte Springs AKA Cherishomes Altamonte, LLC. We signed our 15-month lease on July 4th, 2022. Upon moving into unit 283-104, we discovered a lot of maintenance issues had not been completed upon move-in. We filled out the walk-though attached to the lease that was requested by management (at the time Tyrone & Carol). We pointed out the following a list of issues (attached) and got no response.
  
  We eventually moved out, July 1st, 2023. We are now hit with a close to $3000 balance and in debt with Jetty deposit services for $854 due to all the negligent charges the management has thrown on top of the one time the rent.
  
  Not only did we incur all these charges but upon moving into our new unit we had to pay for pest control to service our new unit because the infestation of roaches in the building is out of control.
  
  May I also mention ***** **** who is disabled and my son who dwelled in the unit was declared disabled May 17th whose health and safety was compromised the entire duration of staying in this unit.
  
  From not being able to utilize our patio due to broken and wet conditions, to chipped paint, to dealing with roaches that carry diseases and infections, and many more issues that have affected our day to day living in your affiliate unit.
  
  We paid rent promptly every month, and we remained clean and quiet.
  
  We are disputing these charges that are incurred against us due to this property management company not holding up their end of the lease.
  
  I attached a more detail response and all documentation.

  Dear Ms. ****,

  We appreciate your patience as we reviewed your complaint regarding your tenancy and the subsequent charges.

  After a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding your move-out and the associated charges, we would like to provide the following conclusions:

  Vacation of Premises: Our records indicate that we were informed of your departure on July 6th, 2023. As such, prorated rent was charged until this date, aligning with our standard procedures.

  Carpet Replacement Fee: The charge for carpet replacement was assessed due to excessive wear and tear, including stains and traffic patterns in the master bedroom, which were beyond normal use.

  Cleaning Charges: The cleaning fee of $140 was incurred due to the condition of the apartment at move-out, including the bathrooms, oven, and other areas that required additional cleaning services.

  Water and Sewer Charges: Your final water bill covered the period from May 21, 2023, to July 6, 2023. The billing includes sewer charges, which is a standard practice for all residents.

  Trash Removal Fees: As items were left in the apartment, including a bed that needed dismantling, trash out fees were applied in accordance with our policies.

  Pest Control: We acknowledge your concerns about pests. The apartment was regularly serviced by pest control, and larger pests identified as palmetto bugs are common in the area, often entering from outside.

  We understand that some aspects of this situation have been frustrating. However, our review indicates that the charges applied were in line with our policies and the condition of the apartment at the time of your departure.

  Sincerely, 

  The Greystar Team

  I shouldn’t have been reported to collections if payment was still received by Jetty. They reported my balance to collections immediately after receiving payment from Jetty.

  We moved out Huntington King Farm November 2019 and did a full walk through with a property manager was completed before handing over the keys, mailbox key and garage key. Nothing was noted that was damaged since we do a full deep clean before leaving. ***** had a forwarding address of ***** ***** **** ***, Brookeville MD that was given to the property when we moved out so we can receive our mail. Fast forward to May 2021, 18 MONTHS after moving out, we received a MAILED invoice to the house. I called twice and left urgent voicemails to accounts receivable of GREYSTAR with no reply until email from Mr. G***** 6/24/21. It stated that we are being charged due to "damages" because the carpet expectancy is a minimum of 5 years, but normal wear and tear happens over time — in some cases, a year, and in others, over a period of many years. Carpet will start to wear down in high-traffic areas like between a kitchen and living room, or right in front of the main entry to the home. Damage is due to negligence or abuse in this case was none and none was documented by your property manager. Also stated that our carpet was only been 33 months old. Under the landlord/tenant law, "Maryland’s landlord-tenant law requires landlords to conduct a walk-through inspection. This inspection must take place within five days of tenant move out. The purpose of this inspection is to document the condition of the rental unit. The landlord must notify the tenant of the date the inspection will take place and of the tenant’s right to be present during the inspection." "A landlord may withhold all or part of the security deposit for unpaid rent, actual cost incurred to repair damage caused by the tenant in excess of ordinary wear and tear or for other actual costs incurred by the landlord if the tenant has breached the lease (including non-payment of utilities that the tenant is obligated to pay). If the landlord withholds any portion of the security deposit for damages, the landlord must send an itemized list of the actual costs incurred to repair that damage to the tenant within 45 days from the end of the tenancy. This itemized list must be sent by first class mail to the last known address of the tenant... If the landlord fails to do this without a good reason, you may sue for up to three times the withheld amount, plus reasonable attorney's fees." As of today 10/17/23, I get a COLLECTION BILL that hit my credit.

  There was evidence of black mold in my apartment and requested it to get properly remediated and requested air ducts get cleaned due to my severe allergic reactions that were sending me to the hospital. Property Management never resolved the issue and I was forced to vacate my apartment due to serious health concerns. Never received a bill from Greystar or the Retreat at my forwarded address and I reached out to property management at The Retreat (Owned by Greystar) about any bills and was not notified of any. Was notified of a collections 3 years later with a late fee.
  
  Greystar added a late fee where there was no communication sent of an existing bill nor deadline, from a vacated apartment due to mold.
  
  Greystar has been contacted numerous times to attempt to settle without late fee and they refuse to and fail to respond.

  Greystar Management of Cityscape at Lakeshore Apartments has wrongfully charged me for $826 for replacement of carpet in the living room, Apt ***.
  A) Apartment Manager, at time I was living there, knew there was severe plumbing issues in my apartment building and suggested that I move into apt *** so they could address plumbing issues (cut into drywall in living room to reach pipes AND renovate the apartment to include removing LR carpet and replacing with VINYL flooring.
  B) My Apartment flooded from the kitchen sink backing up, due to the apt above me putting grease/fat down drain. Had to send emergency plumber out at 10-11PM in the evening, meanwhile gallons of dirty water back flowed out of the sink. I carried ~20 buckets of water and to dump it over back porch while it was sloshing over the LR carpet (if I hadn't done that the entire carpet would have flooded). Hence water damage to the carpet. Note I had a put maintenance request in 1 week prior since the sink had been constantly gargling before the backflow flooding incident had occured.
  C) Chris Smith emailed me stating new carpet was put in the living room which is a flat out lie, they upgraded apt to vinyl flooring as they had intended to do so. He never provided the requested itemized breakdown of material used, cost of materials by square footage for the supposed carpet they put in (because it never did put new carpet in the living room.
  D) I am not responsible for and carpet that was damaged due to spilling of dirty backflow water from their plumbing issues and the upstairs neighbors causing the sink to backflow. They had to place huge fans in the apartment to dry the floors.
  E) They sent this WRONGFUL bill to collections and now my credit score has been negatively impacted!
  F) Please see attached email chain and photos of the backflow kitchen sink that kept flowing over and spilling more and more water from the kitchen sink.
  G) Remove these charges from collections & from credit report immediately!

  Dear BBB,
  I am writing to file a complaint against Ocean Air, Greystar, located at 10500 Sea Pearl CV, San Diego, 92130. I am a tenant in one of their apartment complexes, and I am currently in the process of renewing my lease.
  In June 2023, I received a lease renewal offer for a 12-month lease at $3,552 per month. After reviewing the rent rates for similar units in the complex, I noticed that they were significantly lower than the rates that I had been offered. I spoke to the managers twice in August to request a reconsideration, and on August 17, I received an offer for a 12-month lease at $3,224 per month. I accepted this offer immediately, both by replying to the email and by speaking to the manager at that time in person.
  The manager assured me that everything was set, and that I would receive a new lease contract shortly. However, after we had an agreement, the rent price was unilaterally increased without my consent. This is a likely violation of California law.
  I have tried to resolve this issue with the management team at Ocean Air, Greystar, but they have been unwilling to honor the $3,224 rent rate that we agreed to. The reason they gave me is that the offer of $3,224 was just a mistake and made it clear that we had no choice but to accept the current rent rate or move out. After negotiating with them numerous times, they modified the rent rate to $3482, which is still higher than the rent rate that we agreed to. This is concerning because I believe it is a rental scam.
  I have attached copies of all relevant documentation.
  I am requesting that the BBB contact Greystar, Ocean Air on my behalf and request that:
  1. They honor the $3,224 rent rate that we agreed to.
  2. They return the money that I have overpaid since the rent increase was implemented.
  I am also requesting that the BBB investigate this matter to determine if Greystar, Ocean Air has violated any California laws.
  Thank you for your time and consideration.
  Sincerely,

  Next door neighbor threatened my roommate with a knife saying he wanted to use it on her and her dog. The leasing manager said he violated the lease by harassing. But he still lives next door and we’re scared to leave our apartment. Continue cigarettes we have complained multiple times and our whole apartment smells like smoke, they add ridiculous fees to our bills every month that I have never had at any apartment. They said it’s normal. We have to pay a fee for “THE OFFICE lighting. Road maintenance fee etc. every apartment I’ve lived in is just garbage sewer water that was it. When we moved in our apartment wasn’t even move in ready. Broken fridge, window, washer , missing closet doors, roommates floor was warped, missing screen in window, broken window.

  On 10-6-2023 I moved from the Oak Crest Apartments Houston Tx. Because I needed a larger place. Before my lease expired on 10-4-2023, I attempted 3 times to stay at the location. The leasing agent shown little to none interest in assisting me with locating a larger apartment. However, during our conversation, I was informed all apartments were upgraded to hardwood floors. She stated, their records show my apt. was upgraded. I advised, my unit still has carpet. And she said, all the units should have hardwood floors. I received a billing statement of $360.39 for 10-1-23 to 10-6-23 by which I paid on 09-30-2023. However, via email I received a final statement on 10-17-23 stating I owe $511.81. Here are the following charges: Carpet cleaning $225.00 (all units upgraded to hardwood floors), Cleaning - Bath $45.00, Cleaning - Trash out $50.00, Cleaning - Kitchen $250.00 (this is outrageous), Final Trash bill for 7-18-23/10-6-23 $54.06. I stayed in the smallest 1 bedroom sq 635. This is ridiculous, Greystar Properties has very low ratings with luxury prices. Please note, when I leased my place on 4/28/21. It was under a different property owner. The property has only been under Greystar for a couple of months. Also, there were safety issues. The pedestrians gates are opened and anyone can have access onto property. I also, addressed that matter. And was told, it would be fixed…it never was. In addition, my mailbox was broken and my mail was gone. I contacted the leasing office. And was told, it would be fixed. It never was, I checked my mail on 10-5-23. I did take pics of my mailbox and the entry gates. I do not owe $511.81 as a final bill. Please be advised, in order to transfer to a new unit, it’s a $500.00 fee. I asked, what is the fee for?? The leasing agent stated “just to transfer”. However, if I was a new resident I would only pay a little over $300.00. Now they are expecting me to pay almost $900.00 for not renewing my lease.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I have never own a pet. Therefore, there was no need for a pet treatment. The confusion is, a charge was applied incorrectly. And Oak Crest apartments, appears to be telling lies.  It’s absolutley incorrect to charge the amounts in my final statement. I’m willing to take this matter to a higher level. Until, I receive a resolution to my satisfactory. This is becoming very stressful. In addition, I wanted to remain at Oak Crest. All I wanted was a larger place. And to learn, I was provided incorrect information on purpose?!?!?? Regarding the $500.00 transfer fee, which did not apply to me.  I asked the leasing agent 3 times, was she sure about the transfer fee. This caused a lot of stress having to find a new place to stay.

  Dear Ms. ***** ******,

   

  Thank you for your detailed response regarding the charges applied to your account. We appreciate your time in clarifying the situation and understand your concerns.

   

  Upon thorough review of your account and the circumstances surrounding your move, we acknowledge that your lease was not terminated early and that no early termination fee was charged. We also confirm that our leasing specialist had informed you about the $500.00 transfer fee for moving to a different apartment.

   

  Regarding the hardwood floors, we are currently not upgrading any homes upon move-out per Ownership.

   

  However, concerning the pet deep cleaning charge, we must uphold this fee. While we understand your statement of not being a pet owner, our records and the attached vendor invoices indicate that a pet treatment was performed in your apartment. This treatment was necessary due to the presence of fleas, as noted by the vendor. Unfortunately, in the absence of any contradictory evidence, we are obligated to rely on the reports and charges from our vendors.

  Around October of 2021 we were approved to rent an apartment from Domain at Town Center Apartments. My grandmother ****** ****** and myself signed the lease, before this we took a tour with my two kids. After signing the lease we were informed we need a larger apartment so the kids can each have a bedroom by law, the larger unit we were not approved for due to bad credit scores. They wanted us to pay the rent for 3 months until they found someone else to move into the unit and said we backed out of the lease, this is not true. They should have told us about the kids before we signed the lease, we were fooled into signing a contract under false pretenses. They now have reported myself to a debt collector for this amount, this is unfair and a scam. I do not owe this debt. We never moved in and signed a contract under false pretenses, we were scammed as far as I'm concerned. I don't want this on my credit report.

  Dear Mr. *********,

  Thank you for your patience as we investigated this complaint further. We were able to connect with the relevant Greystar teams and have concluded the following:

  Upon providing the resident with a three-day notice to pay or quit due to a past due balance of $10,000, we initiated the eviction process as no response was received. Additionally, the resident violated our amenities hours policy, prompting our concierge team to approach and remind them of our operating hours. Despite the reminder, the resident continued playing loud music on the 5th floor, leading to a lease violation.

  In response to the amenities space violation, we applied a standard $500 fee to unit ****. During a scheduled meeting to address these matters, the resident raised concerns about issues in his unit, such as water in the sink and HVAC system problems. Upon reviewing our records, no work orders were found for these complaints (attached you will find all work orders received throughout the residency). We offered to initiate work orders to address the issues, but the resident declined.

  Furthermore, the resident claimed to have requested a reasonable accommodation for using amenities spaces after hours due to a disability. However, upon investigation, no record of such a request was found. We invited them to submit an email detailing the request, assuring that we would provide a reasonable accommodation form for completion. Unfortunately, they didn’t fill out the proper reasonable accommodation form.

  After this investigation, we have found that the property has handled all matters in accordance with our polices.

  Regards,

  The Greystar Team

  Complaint: ********
  
  
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  The original maintenance report was submitted via rent cafe on December 7 2022 to former maintenance man Isiah. It was submitted under the issue listed as "interior inspection" This was before the current building team was in place. The original amenity request was also submitted to a team member that is currently. not on your staff. Regardless of GREYSTAR's policy, it is state law to give reasonable accomodations to disabled persons however when the original request was submitted 04/2023, NO FORMS WERE MENTIONED AND THE EMAIL WAS IGNORED COMPLETELY BY YOUR COMMUNITY MANAGERS ERICA AND SHELLY A******. I have plenty of customer reviews that talk about issues with this company and obviously you people only respect judges which is why I've already filed a civil case. Best of luck.

  
  
  Sincerely,

  I am a current tenant trying to renew my lease and the deadline is next week. I submitted all required paperwork, but I have received zero communication from the office in a month. Staff is actively dodging my calls and emails despite sending multiple through each medium over the past 2 weeks.
  
  Getting conflicting information from Maintenance and they are generally being unhelpful. Manager I was working with has mysteriously disappeared and I have no idea what I am supposed to do.
  
  Deadline is approaching and I am going to lose my apartment because of unresponsive staff? Please reach out to me IMMEDIATELY.
