  That compensation was pointless because if you recall, when November came, you refused my check. You stated you would only accept twice the rent due to YOUR "billing error". Providing no grace or payment plan that I could do on behalf of YOUR error and began charging me late fees which swallowed up that minimal compensation for the broken utilities . After speaking with my attorney, he confirmed my responsibility and lack thereof regarding these charges. Considering my request(s) to clear the mold, fix the leak, and assist with pest control, were not properly handled within the 5 day period granted by Statute ARS 33-136, you breached our lease agreement. I have documentation of the deliberation which gave you well over a month to complete my request(s). This placed you in violation of the AZ Law Section A, for Material Non-Compliance. I notified you with plenty of time to get my unit up to code or I will terminate; as it was within my rights to do so without repercussions.  Furthermore, you placed a charge of $2,086.87 labeled as an “insufficient notice penalty” which is not supported in the language of our lease agreement. Lease termination and litigations are noted in clause 33-A and 35-C. Consequently, this is an invalid charge. I can provide you with a copy of all transactions including saying I was ahead of time on my rent as well as the lack of supported speech in the lease if you wish.rate times. Section 33-1341 protects my rights but they were non-compliant. I legally should have been able to terminate my lease based on Article 4, but I still was charged "miscellaneous fees". When I left, I gave them my security deposit to keep and left the space extremely clean, and they still wanted to charge me for Novembers rent, which they issued as twice the amount of normal rent.

  Ms. ********,
  In response to your complaint, we would like to clarify
  that along with the replacement of a new washer, a total of $400 Customer
  Service Credit was given, $180 on 11/2/22 and $220.00 on 11/14/22.  We
  also informed you of a past-due balance on your account in November due to a
  billing error. Our Lease clearly states that if you terminate the lease before
  the expiration of the agreement and proper written notice is not given, you
  will incur additional charges. We can provide documentation of these credits and
  charges and a copy of your signed lease if needed. We regret that you have not
  had a positive resident experience and wish you well in your endeavors.

  So when me and my husband moved in in February the dishwasher was busted so we called and filed a maintenance order in March since it was the end of February when we moved in. Maintenance came out and took a look at it and then around the end of March they came out again to look at it again. That was when we were told that they had to order a part for it which should have been figured out in the first visit. The second visit should have been to fix it. When maintenance left we called the front office to see what was going on because that part should have already been ordered and they told us that the head of maintenance is the only one who can order parts and he probably forgot. They told us they would put a rush on the part and work order so that we can get it repaired quickly. So we waited and waited and didnt hear anything from them for the whole month of April until we called the second to the last week for an update. They said they needed to speak with maintenance and that they would call us back that day but didn't do i called again the next day to get the same response and the day after that to get the same response again. We never received a call back so the next monday my husband and I went up to the office to get answers and were told the work order has been closed out April 7th and they had to open a new one and they would put a rush on it again. I called earlier this week to get an update and they said they would call me back and I called Monday of this week and was told they would call me back but never received a call back so i called again today and was told they are aware of the issue and if i haven't received any answers then they dont have anything for me which is why im not getting called back. This is their customer service. We just want our dishwasher fixed.

  why did it take over a year for things to be addressed and taken care of. he old outdated appliances and lack of care and effort from maintenance to fix things it is not worth it at all. The new manager is awful. This place has been through 3 managers in a year and employees. ****** is by far the worst she is rude and snooty and just all around nasty she made nasty comments about us not having money to pay our rent when in fact we did. We have paid our rent 4 months in advance and have never been late not once. HSl is a horrible company and I will NEVER rent here again. i highly recommend you don't either. Its not worth it.

  I have lived at Riverstone an HSL property for 5 months and every single time I need to contact the office for maintenance repair I speak to **** in the office and he will say one thing and something else happens. For example, I worked from home and asked to be called 10 minutes before the maintenance came because I have meetings and **** said he would let the maintenance know. But of course I get an unexpected knock at my door(4 weeks later) and when I tell the maintenance man I cannot let him in as I am busy he was dumbfounded when I told him I requested to get a call in advance. Another instance Our roof was leaking and it took 2 weeks for someone to actually come look at it and another 3 weeks for them to go in the roof and “fix it” not really sure what they did up there if they even did anything. Guess I will see when it rains again. The office says they will be over and never show and never call to exactly the situation. every time they no show I call and ask why they haven’t come and it’s always a sorry excuse. The office really needs to learn to follow up on their residents request as well does the maintenance. I see the maintenance driving around talking to each other meanwhile i’ve had work orders waiting to be repaired. the lack of communicating with each other is just awful and communicating with their residents. I mean living here is not free and I would think HSL properties would care about their residents.

  I am writing this complaint in an effort to advocate for renters who live in Encantada facilities.
  Our experience at Encantada National while renting for over 12 months has been generally good, however, their onboarding and outboard processes are not consumer-friendly and renters should be aware because there are financial implications.
  
  We recently completed a 13-month lease, and worked with the employees in the front office to explain that we were leaving Jan. 21st and were speaking a four-month lease. They demonstrated an understanding of our intent to vacate end of January.
  
  As a renter, you seek guidance from the business regarding outboarding processes.
  Transparent processes are important. For example, checklists, clear explanations, etc.
  At this point, Encantada relies on renters reading contracts to navigate the process rather than providing assistance in their front office. The contracts are not clear to educated people.
  
  The contract that we signed stated that we would give formal written notice.... OR, or "intent to move out as required by paragraph 33(A)",
  
  33A states that the "Lessee must deliver a signed, written “VACATE NOTICE” as provided
  below", however there is no vacate notice included in the 15-page legal document. Therefore, as a consumer working with the company representatives directly- we misunderstood that our "formal notice" had not been received (even though we effectively terminated our original lease and signed a 4-month lease- effectively giving 4 months notice).
  
  At this point, from a legal standpoint- the business is "covered," and as consumers, we have no rights. We didn't follow the contract terms- which are written in legalese. However, as an advocate for renters- I would like it to be formally acknowledged that the COMPANY is not customer friendly. When we asked, "what do you need from us"- they DID NOT provide the form that needed to be signed when we gave our four-month notice. This comes with an over 3,000 penalty.

  Thanks,
  ***** ******* tio closet. The carpet guy came at 12:00 pm to extract the water again. He said he will be back Monday to check, which is another day I have to take off of work.

  Initial leak was called in that started from upstairs
  apartment 217 on Saturday, Dec 3. The source was a supply line in the wall and
  residual water intrusion was found in 1st floor apartment, 117.
  Carpet cleaner came out Dec 3 and completed first extraction of water from 117.
  The first available plumber came out Wednesday, Dec 7, to fix upstairs unit
  217. Resident of 117 had been told that the plumber would be scheduled for
  first available but was not required to be present. On Wednesday, Dec 7, 2nd extraction was called for in apartment 117, after repair to apartment 217, and
  completed the following day of Dec 8. On Friday Dec 9, minimal water was again
  found in 117 and extracted. A new plumber was contacted for additional
  inspection on leak/water intrusion. First available plumber was scheduled for
  Monday Dec 12. A new issue was discovered on Dec 12 for apartment 117 inside
  the water closet on patio, with a broken connection requiring cut out and
  reseal in the wall. This was causing a small amount of water along the
  baseboard and carpet to be wet. Repairs to water line and pipe cutting
  completed on Dec 12 and drywall repairs are being scheduled and will complete
  repairs in 117. Air flow fans were placed for dry out between extractions as
  well to eliminate any growth potential. We are in contact with the resident of
  117 for the steps being completed and any further resolution that may be
  needed.

  Hello, 
  I have been in contact with the apartment complex. They have had the carpet company come and spray the carpet. I still haven't heard what they are doing about the mold in the wall. I have requested to be transferred to a new apartment with hopes of keeping the same rent and only keeping the remaining 6 months of my current lease. 
  Thanks, 
  ***** *******

  My 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT vehicle was stolen off of HSL Property/parking lot on October 23rd, 2022 (cost $15,590). My vehicle was vandalized two times prior before it being stolen and the leasing office or security was unable to respond. My vehicle’s windscreen was broken the first time my vehicle was vandalized on May 14th, 2022 (reparation cost $280). On June 21st, 2022, my vehicle was vandalized a second time by damaging the drivers side door, handle, and window (reparation cost $530). HSL Sycamore Creek leasing office and Cactus Security were notified of both incidents. Their response was that they were unable to do anything and that the situation was out of their control, verbatim. On October 23rd my vehicle was ultimately stolen and I have received the same response as when my car was vandalized. Police reports were made on all respective dates. I have been living at this complex for three years and ten months, now, and I have never felt more unsafe. I work hard to pay off my rent on time ($830.00/monthly) to avoid HSL’s inexplicable fees. I am a responsible and respectful tenant and deserve the same in return from a complex I am giving my money toward. Sycamore Creek remains with unopened gyms, damaged washers and dryers, unresponsive maintenance repairs and horrible customer service from their leasing office. HSL property/ Sycamore Creek has done nothing to protect me and other tenants from danger. I am now at a great loss with my vehicle being stolen from HSL property and am unable to cancel my contract until June 2023. HSL property/Sycamore Creek’s conduct towards my safety has been uncalled for. My experience living at Sycamore Creek apartment complex leaves me in a depriving situation.
