I fully own a Mobile Home in Yes Communities - ***************** Farms MHP, and I applied for SAFHR rental assistance in June of 2022. Since then, I have completed my portion of the very involved application, and I meet all the eligibility requirements to receive funds. I was notified by the ** SAFHR application department that they were waiting on proof of ownership documents from Yes to disperse the funds allocated. It has been over 4 months, and after several requests and contacts, I have received no further information from park manager *****************. I have been told by her that there is no available contact information for upper management that I can reach out to, in regards to clearing this up. The hotline for Yes resident relations also failed to respond within the promised 48 hour period. ***************** has said that she is unfamiliar with the process, even though I have direct knowledge that this company has been awarded funds for tenants in the past. I'm running out of avenues to get this resolved, and in the interim it is impeding my ability to utilize a government program that has already approved me.Business Response

After speaking with local management they have informed us of how the following update and how they are getting ************************* issues addressed.
"Good afternoon,
I have spoken with ***** again today and informed her of the latest updates on this issue. Below you will find the details of the situation.
***** came to me about 2 months ago, just after my OA, *****, left and inquired about the ***** program information we (YES!) needed to provide. At that time I had no idea what she was referring to and let her know I would find out. Through my investigation, I was sent an email from the ***** team stating that we needed to upload a long list of documents, some included information from the state and county. I began the inquiries for this information and documents and have been waiting for some time for them. ***** has been in multiple times inquiring when "our" side would be complete. The only information I could give her was that I was waiting on documents myself to complete "our" section.
***** came in again last week and again inquired of the information and completion date, also asking for "upper management" contact information. I again let her know that I was still waiting on documents and a phone call from ***** to explain to me what documents were needed. I also let her know that the contact information that she already had, was the only information I had to give her.
Today, ***** finally returned my call and it appears that the emailed information I had was incorrect. I was able to log in, and update/upload the information and documents needed to complete *****'s application for assistance.
This should all be taken care of and ***** should be ready to go."Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I do think it's important to note that a company as large and profitable as Yes! Communitites should avoid having such uninformed staff members be the only contact for tenants. I feel that would have prevented this 4 month long "investigation" from taking place.
Sincerely,

On 10/29/22 - at 4pm I signed a lease to move in on 11/19/22 Crystal ********* gave them a security deposit of around $1966.00. In less than 48 hours later.On 10/31/22 in the morning at 9am I called and asked for a refund. I want to get my security deposit back and cancel the lease over the phone I was told I could cancel. I drove into the office and I was told my check was scanned and I could not cancel the lease. I requested information for management they did not give it to **** left multiple messages/phone calls and contacted corporate no one responded from ***** - to now.On 11/8/22 they did a ACH transition of $1706. This bank transaction was NOT approved by me. It was suppose to come out 12/8/22. Crystal ******* made a mistake, they admitted the mistake and charged me early on 11/8 and also didn't apply credits via email. I contacted them multiple times on how to resolve it the told me to contact my bank. No one has fixed the issue or problem. After talking to current tenants they are not responsive, they don't clean up and don't fix the mobile homes and raise rent.This impacted my bank current lease/rent and the ability to move budget on 11/19. I am not able to move in because of the transaction that they did on 11/8. They didn't reverse it or refund me. I do not want to move into the NO response and unprofessional nature of this company. I want my money back. My security deposit and my $1706.00 that they illegally processed before I even moved in.Business Response

In April of of 2022 yes communities hire ** lawn to cut residents lawns, at which point, we as residents had the option to opt out to have lawns mowed. I opted out from the start. MY REQUEST WENT IGNORED 4 TIMES. Since the lawn company didn't listen to my request. Damage was done to my property. The lawn company put holes in my skirting , siding, broke lawn decor along with mower kicking up wood which in turn busted my headlight cover off. NOW, the car won't run due to water getting in and fried the electronic control module. I have emailed and called the main office here at 5 seasons and still nothing has been done. I have also called /EMAILED the corporate office NUMEROUS times and I still haven't heard from them. We are rolling into winter and I need my skirting fixed. This is getting out of hand. NOBODY will own up to any of the damage down to my property that I own outright..I don't lease or rent to own. When I said something to the the park manager about he damage he don't seem to care. If this don't get resolved. I'll have no choice but to file small claims to recoup my money for the damages.Business Response

Since the date of move in to one of the yes Communities, the staff especially ******************************* and maintenance have been nothing but unprofessional about handling repairs (especially one in specific) on the home. They have been dishonest and uncommunicative about how they were going to get the repair handled. Again this was repairs that's been due since the date of move in that have not been completed. My family and I regret moving to this community paying our rent each month and not being treated equally as we're supposed to be I'm not sure if all tenants are treated this way but either way I'm looking for a resolution to a problem.Business Response

I've been living in **************** in ********* **** for 10 years. The manager last year didn't put the efts in right and I already fell behind because of miscommunication in the months prior due to covid. I got help to get my rent paid at that time. Then in January she left and never turned the paperwork in from the courts to take off legal fees because they lost in court. In February of this year I talked to corporate and they said they were going to help. Nobody called me back. I tried for months over the phone, emails,etc. To get in touch with them. In August they finally got a manager. I was approved through the **** finance to get my back rent paid because it kept accruing because they were the cause of me losing my 2nd job I got last year in October after losing my job in August because they kept taking me in to court every week in December. The new manager refused to fill out the paperwork and then she lied in court and said she been here since June. The lake is disgusting there. There's mattresses,dead fish,sewer drainage in to the lake, bikes, and I don't even know what else is in there, the residents drink this water. This business needs to be shut down.Business Response

Complaint: 18349085
I am rejecting this response because:
First it was **** you stated you have been in the office to the courts and now you want to say July. When I spoke to you finally in August you reflected anything that was sent to you. Also I was evicted because you rejected to fill out the paperwork per your lawyer. The rent would have been paid if you hadn't rejected payment from the **** housing authority. I won in court last year. The legal fees are to be taken off.... and NEVER happened. Also get me off of your email address because you are emailing me about rules that have changed our giving me a *******************. What about the nasty, disgusting lake you have in that park? You didn't say anything about that. Why don't you look at all the emails that were sent to you from ******** from the Quad City Open Network? I have proof of all of this. And this email was to a girl that was there in ****. And she was there for 2 weeks. See attached

Per local management: "This was an eviction for non-payment of rent. This eviction was based on the previous Community Manager therefore I do not know if ****** did in fact reach out for assistance at that time of not and there's no recollection of her doing so in Manage American either. I have been in the office since July! The lake is being properly maintenance and cleaned. There are none of the sort in that lake as i did take a look after this ticket was created.

We have been attempting to purchase our home through Yes communities since July 2022. I have been calling in the office or stopping in person weekly. Our lease was up as of yesterday, 10/31. I was repeatedly told by management that I would not incur a month to month fee as we were attempting to purchase our home from Yes. Come to find out, no one at the office has a license to sell homes in ****. Not only am I still in limbo months later, but I have a ****** mtm lease fee on my bill that I keep getting told will be removed, and it has not. I gave up trying to buy the home and signed a new lease last week, and the fee is still present. This is unacceptable. I would have signed a lease much earlier had someone been honest and told me the company cannot currently sell homes. This charge needs to be removed on good faith.Business Response
