At the end of November I received a call from my apartment complex, they told me that the apartment I was going to be moving in to had a pipe burst and that they needed to move my move in date. They assured me that they would still have my apartment ready before December and that there were no other issues. After I had moved in I went on a trip for a week, when I got back from my trip, I noticed a horrible smell in my apartment and started looking around. It was December 20th when I found black mold in my apartment. The next day I went down to the office to let them know what I had found so we could start working on the problem. They sent someone over that day to take off the shelf as well as put a hole in the closet to look inside the wall. They maintenance guy who was working on the closet told me that there was only mold on the shelf and no where else. He also brought a dehumidifier to help clear the air. I took a video of the inside of the wall and noticed a lot more mold. I went back to the property manager to let them know what I had seen and showed them the video I had taken. I also had decided that since the was bad, I wasnt going to stay in my apartment. I didnt stay in my apartment for 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks, they had taken out the wall, brought in. 2 more dehumidifiers, and sprayed it down. I would come home to drop off my dog before work and to check on the progress they were making. During this time I had also noticed that the mold would continue to grow back, it was also looking like it was growing on the structure. I went back to the office to let them know the update of this issue one day before I went into work. One night I had come home to pick up my dog and noticed a horrible smell in my apartment, I then noticed there was a tarp thrown on my floor, stuff moved around, and that my closet had looked like it caught fire. I called the non emergency number and had the fireman come out and they told me it was just spray paint. Theres moreBusiness response

After vacating the property I was advised that home was in perfect condition by ******* who I then returned the keys to on January 25, ****. Once I received my move out ledger I noticed I was being charged for days that I did not occupy the property. When I asked to have the documents corrected management gave me issues about doing so. Then in return to me requesting property management to reach out to the corporate office to correct my documents. I received a bill stating the carpet need to be replaced due to stains on the back side of carpet. When I asked the office manager what was the purpose of pulling the carpet up her response was we have our third party company lift the carpet to see if it is clean underneath, and from the stains on the bottom he concluded if he attempts to clean them they will come to the top of the carpet. When I asked her isnt that what is supposed to happen when you clean carpet the stains come to the top and are henceforth removed? She responded by saying we are removing the carpet and thats why you got the bill. At this point dealing with this company has been a stressful situation, *** called the main office numerous times and never got through, ******** the office manager closes the office early and gave me incorrect names for her managers. I am in disbelief with the amount of trauma this company is causing.Business response

Good afternoon, ********************,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out and I apologize for the confusion with the ledger. I logged into our system and it looks like the site already made adjustments to the Final Account Statement on 2.5.2024, please see attached. They entered a rent credit as requested for $229.00 and there are not any damage charges on this. The only charges owed are the water/sewer and common electric charges that are prorated through your actual move out date.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Thanks,

Hi, having some issues at one of your complexes that I am unable to solve via the onsite staff. I have tried calling into your main line twice over the last few months and figured this would be a good next step to try and reach someone to discuss the issues I am having. Hoping to work something out for an unusual scenario and would like to continue living at your facility. No issues with payment or money in any way but I need help accommodating a living scenario and discussing options available to us. ThanksBusiness response

Our son moved to ***********, ** to attend ********************. We opted for him to have a roommate, and he was able to find a roommate. The roommate resided at ***** apartments. Our son moved into ***** apartments August 27th, 2022. The previous tenant graduated from ******************** and moved out of the apartment Sept 2, 2023. Our son has since found another roommate; however, ***** apartments denied the new roommate claiming that the roommate release form needed to be completed and a fee of $250 per person would need to be paid prior to our son getting a roommate. This is unreasonable, and ***** should not be holding our us and our son liable for a charge that is actually someone else's responsibility. We just found out about the fines of $500 on Dec 15, 2023, when we finally were able to speak to a leasing agent at ***** apartments. I then contacted the previous tenant to inform her that she is responsible for the fee, and she has flat out refused to pay the fee. ***** apartments should not be holding us liable; they should seek payment from the previous tenant, and allow our son to either get a roommate, move to a 1-bedroom apartment, or release us from this lease completely. I no longer feel comfortable dealing with the agents of ***** apartments.Business response

Hello BBB Team and anyone else of interest related to this claim.
We have been in direct contact with *******************************, and settled all of her concerns presented to your organization under complaint #********. Unfortunately, this claim escalated too quickly and did not give the on-site management team time to assist and attempt to resolve before it made it to this stage. We have ensured that ********* and son are happy by agreeing to waive the one-time transfer fee of $500 and additionally, the one-time fee of $500 from the current lease modifications to remove two other lease holders. They are in agreement to transfer to a one-bedroom apartment home effective January 3rd, 2024.
Please, let me know if anything else is needed from us at this time.
Best,
***************************

This business has been in contact with me and has removed the $250 per person roommate release fee and has also agreed to transfer our son to a 1-bedroom apartment without the transfer fee of $500 and will return our $1000 deposit upon move out. We are satisfied with the agreement.
Thank you for your assistance in the matter

The initial report of the malfunction was made on September 11, 2023, and despite diligent follow-**** the involvement of the fire marshal, and interventions by the ***************, the **** alarm remains unaddressed. Despite assurances that repairs would be completed between December *****, no discernible progress has been made to date.The persistent malfunction of the **** alarm has resulted in random activations during the night, causing significant inconvenience, stress, and disruption to the daily life of the undersigned. Despite repeated attempts to contact ZRS management's corporate office, there has been no response, leaving the undersigned feeling unheard and neglected.In light of the ongoing issues and the adverse impact on the quality of life, the undersigned is formally requesting a rent reduction for the duration during which the **** alarm has remained unrepaired. This request is made in good faith, recognizing the inconveniences and stress caused by the unresolved matter.Business response

Thank you for bringing your concerns regarding the persistent malfunction of the **** alarm to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, stress, and disruption this issue has caused you.
We understand your frustration and want to assure you that we are actively working to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we are still waiting for the vendor to schedule and complete the necessary repair. We share your disappointment that the repairs, initially promised between December *****, have not progressed as anticipated.
In the meantime, we have been in touch with the fire marshal and the *************** to expedite the process, but we are still awaiting the necessary approvals and interventions to move forward. We want to assure you that addressing this issue is our top priority, and we appreciate your patience as we work through the challenges.
Regarding your request for a rent reduction, we are unable to approve a concession until we receive guidance from our legal counsel. We have engaged our attorney to provide direction on how best to handle this situation, and once we have their input, we will be better positioned to address your concerns.
In the interim, we understand your desire to terminate your lease, and we want to accommodate your needs. We are willing to extend the lease termination option with no penalty until the **** alarm is fully repaired and the situation is resolved to your satisfaction.
We sincerely apologize for any lapse in communication from our corporate office. We are committed to rectifying this and will ensure that you receive timely updates moving forward.

Moved out of ********* in July, left the apartment in great condition, took pictures for proof, have been waiting for my security deposit for 6 months now. Theyve had a number of excuses, first saying they already sent it but they never did. Then they said it has to come from the corporate office, call back in 30 days if you didnt receive it, no answer. They said that corporate sent me a check but that Im not supposed to cash it because they are sending a new one to the ********* office with the correct amount owed for my security deposit. *** called the ********* office several times over the last month but nobody answers phone calls, responds to emails or responds to voicemails. This is illegal, ******* law requires security deposit be returned to residents within 30 days of move out. Its been 6 months of back and forth.Business response

Good afternoon,
We completely understand the frustration with this situation and we want to make sure to get your refund as quickly as possible. We can see the second cut check was mailed on 11/9/23 but the site hasn't received the check yet so we are submitting a support ticket to see what is going on. I will be emailing ************** directly so she has access to my email and I can keep her updated until I ensure the check is received and in hand.
Thank you,

I’m currently a resident in the Avenue on Oakland. I have had a constant mold problem in my HVAC system. I have been completely informed and neglected. It’s been six months since my first complaint in three weeks since I’ve sent in a complaint about the mold growing now nothing has been done. I have been asked to be released of my lease, and I cannot seem to get a straight answer from anybody. I have a five-year-old daughter who has since developed respiratory infection since moving into the unit.Business response

Spoke with tenant today and provided instructions on how to vacate the premises as she is terminating the lease early. Mold inspection was completed prior to this complaint, and provided to the tenant from a licensed, trained professional - none present. Tenant would still like to vacate the premises, and has requested a rental verification to be provided from the property prior to receiving this complaint indicating that there was never an intentional window that would have been awarded to the site for resolution, and it was her intention to vacate prior to this complaint. An email outlining the estimated move out charges including termination fee, deposit offset, and estimated final utility bills will be delivered to her tomorrow for review/discussion. Additionally, the site did offer to set up a payment plan for the additional amounts outside of the deposit offset in 3 payments prior to sending to collections.Initial Complaint

I moved out of my apartment in June 2022 when my lease expired. On my intent to move out form I gave my forwarding address of my current house I am living at. Along with other contact information. After I moved out I never received any communication from the apartments. I never got an itemized statement of any charges I owed. Under law they have to send me that information within 30 days of me moving out. Fast forward to Dec 2023 I receiving calls from a collection agency for a debt owed to the apartments for $750. The collection told me the only address they were given by the apartments was my old address from another state that I lived at before I moved into the apartment. Even though on my intent to move out form I gave them my forwarding address. That shows the apartments never tried to collect the debt from me before they sent me to collections. How can I pay a debt I know nothing about? This is 100% the fault of the apartments for not following the law and I also intent on filing a complaint with the Attorney General since this goes against my renters rights under ***** law.Business response

Good morning, ***********************
My name is ***************************, and I am the Regional Manager that oversaw The **** at *********** (MAW). I read through your complaint and then took a moment to look through the files that pertained to your lease at MAW. I was able to see that the forwarding address in our system did match what was listed on your notice paperwork, and that a Final Account Statement was emailed to the emails on file back in late August of 2022. Attached you'll find your FAS, notice paperwork, and supporting photos for the cleaning and damage charges. If you have anything further you would like to talk through, please email me directly at ****************************.

My Husband and I lived at the *********************** Apartment complex, operated by ZRS Management, for 2 years. We recently moved out in September because they wanted to charge us over $1600 for our 1 bedroom, unrenovated apartment, a price that would drop to $1400 for a new tenant after it was completely renovated. We initially looked at another ZRS Management Apartment complex- ****************, but after being approved for an apartment and signing a lease, we were told that the renovated apartment that we had signed for WAS NOT and WOULD NOT be renovated. They tried to get us a to sign a new lease for the same unit, unrenovated and the price for the apartment would go up by $200 a month, but since they'd already violated our previous lease before we moved in, we demanded our Application fees and deposits back. ********** gave us back all the Application Fees and Deposits that we paid, but it took over a month and repeated calls and e-mails to receive it. We were hoping this was the last experience that we would have with a ZRS property but we were wrong. After moving out of ***********************, we received our Final Account Statement by Certified mail four days after we moved out. Though we don't agree with the convoluted deductions from our Security Deposit, we didn't argue any of it, and were supposed to receive $293.02 of our $500 security deposit within 30 days. We moved out on September 11th, received our Final Account Statement on September, 15th, and waited until October 14th for our deposit to be returned. We waited the 30 days, but never received our deposit back. We have now tried calling them once a week since October 14th, but have not received even a timeframe of when we can expect the check. Please help us get our security deposit back.Attached our Final Account Statement below, and have more documents, pictures and e-mail correspondents from both the **************** and *********************** Complaints noted above if needed.Business response
