This letter is in response to the complaint submitted by Mr. **** ******* concerning the final accounting of his recent transaction. We sincerely apologize for the delay and any frustration this may have caused. Please rest assured that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and care.
At present, we are conducting a detailed and comprehensive review of Mr. ******** final accounting.

A key component of this review includes a meticulous examination of the security deposit, which requires reconciliation between the designated security deposit bank account and our general liability account. This step is essential to ensure a transparent and accurate final accounting statement.
While we understand the importance of resolving this matter promptly, our priority is to deliver a final statement that is 100% accurate and clearly documented. ******* this process could lead to further confusion, which we are committed to avoiding. We anticipate completing the review and providing Mr. ******* with a finalized, itemized accounting statement within 30 business days. Once the review is complete, we will reach out to Mr. ******* directly to share the statement and walk him through each detail, addressing any questions or concerns he may have.
We appreciate Mr. ******** patience and understanding as we work diligently to finalize this matter. Our goal is to resolve this issue to his complete satisfaction and uphold the standards of transparency and accuracy that our clients expect.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:By law the Company is supposed to respond within 30 business days.
They have not responded in over 120 days.
I can only view this as a delay tactic.
Please allow this case to remain open for another thirty days to confirm a response.
My next step is a court of law and I do not want that, but Homeworks is forcing my hand.
Sincerely,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We take all concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the rent income and account balance for the property in question.
Upon receiving your complaint, we thoroughly reviewed our system records to ensure accuracy and transparency. We've confirmed that the $1,400 security deposit has been released to the bank account we use for tenant payments. The funds are now available and ready for disbursement to the client.
Additionally, we identified an issue with undeposited funds. Specifically, a payment from *******, dated June 17, for the property at 619 McKewin, hadn't been properly deposited in the system. This discrepancy led to an inaccurate ending bank balance. We've since corrected this error and cleared the undeposited funds from the system.
After these adjustments, the final ending bank balance now accurately reflects the account's current financial status. We've attached the updated documentation for your reference, which outlines the corrected transactions and the reconciled balance.
Please note that the disbursement for these funds will be sent out next month.
We understand the importance of timely and accurate financial reporting, especially concerning client funds. Our Accounting team has taken extra steps to ensure all future transactions are properly recorded and reconciled to prevent similar issues.
We're committed to resolving this matter professionally and transparently. If the complainant has any additional questions or would like further clarification, we're more than willing to provide supporting documentation or schedule a follow-up discussion.Customer Answer

There has been very many issues since I moved into this apartment. Firstly, they left an old fence behind the shed in the back yard and caused one of my kids to suffer a deep scratch on his shin because of it.
In January 2024, I made the company aware I'd be a little late on rent and asked if there would be any sort of action taken against me as a result. After being guaranteed in WRITING that i would only receive a late payment charge. I paid the late payment charge but they still filed in court after emailing me in the middle of the month clearly forgetting the convo we already had (which I sent back to them to remind). They not only sent the paperwork but also charged me $95 for court fees. Also, the main bathrooms shower in the house, could not be used FOR MONTHS because they didn't want to fix the pipe. No reimbursements, nothing. We had countless plumbers come out and tell us the same exact thing, that the shape of the pipe was bad and not allowing water to flow and had to be replaced. I had to follow up incessantly to get fixed. Now, in my last month here (july-August2024) , a pipe burst in the basement and I requested emergency services because my basement was flooding. Not only did it take them 4 days to finally send someone out to fix, but they charged me for the water that was leaking. These people are crooks and have done nothing but rob me since I lived here.
Ps I have more pictures and snapshots of emails but it won't let me upload anymore

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We take your concerns seriously and want to address them thoroughly.
Regarding the old fence behind the shed, we understand the seriousness of the situation and took immediate steps to resolve it. The fence was removed three days after the incident to prevent any further risk.
For the delays with the main bathroom’s shower and the burst pipe in the basement, we acted quickly by dispatching a technician as soon as these issues were reported. While the technician faced challenges locating the source of the leaks, every effort was made to address the situation as efficiently as possible. We made sure to keep you informed during the process.
Your feedback is important to us, and we’re committed to resolving any outstanding issues. To address the inconvenience you experienced, we’re applying a billing adjustment of $177.45 to your account.Initial Complaint

Biohazard issue/ loss of property/constructive eviction
***DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PPL!!! HOMEWORKS PROPERTY MGMT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE***
I signed a lease on June 7th 2024 for a one bedroom located at **** ********* *** Baltimore 21216. from day one I've had nothing but issues. July 3rd I reported by email and text that there was a dead carcass smell on the property, they never responded everyday after that. I complained every single day by email and phone. The 8th of July I could not sleep and I sent a very long email describing what was happening. Flies were forming on the right side bottom window of property. June 9th they emailed me at the end of day to inform me that the tenant downstairs passed away a few days earlier and that there is a potential biohazard issue. That same night of the 9th I went to a hotel to stay. I reported that. Homeworks properties will not tell me what the next steps were, all I hear are apologies. The owners threatened me July 12th on another property that wasn't even ready for moving said if I reported to police they would sue me. This has become a "constructive eviction" Im unable to retrieve my stuff, i have nowhere to live, I cannot get answers from these ppl about when or how or who is going to rectify this mess. I want my security deposit $1698 plus $849 and my July rent and the loss of my property( furniture, mattress, mattress toper, TVs, monitor clothes , linen and more since I haven't been living there since July 9th. All my stuff smells like death and decomposing flesh. Very disgusting situation. No clean up. Less than one month and this has been an unhabitable environment. Flies are all over my stuff laying eggs, the heat makes it worst. They refuse to pay for my hotel stay. These people are scammers and should not do business they have no knowledge on how to take care of tenants that pays their rent. All is documented. They breached the contract. Nobody I repeat NOBODY should trust or do business with these people. BEWARE!!

On July 2, 2024, you reached out to us via email regarding a mice infestation issue in the property, prompting us to create a maintenance request.
By July 3, 2024, we had officially logged the maintenance issue.
On July 5, 2024, we contacted you via email to schedule pest control, proposing July 10 as the date. You confirmed this date through a text message on the same day. Following your report of a dead carcass smell, we continued with the scheduled pest control to address potential rat infestation concerns.
On July 9, 2024, you sent another email describing the ongoing issue and provided a photo of a dead mouse. We informed our pest control vendor to address this issue during their visit on July 10.
Later on July 9, we received confirmation from the brother of a tenant in another unit that the tenant had passed away. We promptly notified the landlord and focused on securing the deceased tenant’s unit.On July 10, you contacted us seeking guidance on next steps and mentioned that you had already relocated to a hotel. Our property manager, Christine, worked late to coordinate with the landlord and provided you with updates. She offered a complimentary hotel stay arranged by our company, which you declined, citing concerns about the quality of the hotel. We then suggested the ****** as an affordable alternative, noting that its monthly rate was comparable to the cost of your stay. We also offered you the option to stay in another property we manage, but you declined this option due to its distance from your current location. Meanwhile, Christine contacted your renters' insurance provider, Hartford, to verify coverage for your hotel stay. Hartford provided a claim number and the adjuster's contact information and advised you to retain receipts for potential reimbursement.
In parallel, we arranged for biohazard cleaning of the affected property to ensure it was properly sanitized. You later visited the property and met with the owner, after which you reported feeling threatened and yelled at. We are currently investigating this situation. Link here are the relevant screenshots, emails, text messages, and call recordings documenting these interactions.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
Not only did I reported the smell of dead carcass by email also by text. The mouse issue I had take care of with mouse trap which took place right before the overwhelming decomposing smell invaded my air space.I've lost all my property in that unit because it's now all infected. The lack of responsibility is beyond me. HomeWorks Property said owner would not pay for no hotel room then Christine trying to "help" offered a room at the ****** for only one night when I clearly wasn't going to able to go back to the biohazard environment. The refund offered is nowhere near what I am owed for this nightmare that has ruined my life and security.

I was suppose to have my security deposit by May 15. They sent my check to an address that I lived at over 3 years ago. When they asked me for my address I told them I will give it to them after I find out what happened to a $500 check they was suppose to get from social services. For a late rent payment. They said they sent the paper back to social services but social services said they got it after the deadline. They only did that because they knew they could just take it out of my security deposit. Then they charge me over 2,000 dollars for repairs when they was nothing wrong but closet fixes and painting. They took my money to fix things that they never fixed before I moved in the property. They charged me $75 to cancel that check and I still don’t have it. My security deposit was suppose to be ready for pick up on June 24,2024. The check is still not ready and this was over a week ago that they told me it would be ready. I called yesterday they said the check will be ready by today which is June 25,2024. Now they are saying it will be ready by the end of the week. They aren’t trynna give me my money back. As everytime I call it’s something else I have to wait for.

I ************** woke up on Monday 11/14 nothing on my entire upstairs was woo. Lights or electrical outlets. This has happened before on October 09/27/22 and I was without the use of my entire upstairs for 2 weeks but only difference is in September It was an electrical fire, the fire Department, and County Electrical department code inforcement was notified but Homework's Properties did a quick fix and replaced the outlet and never hired an electrician as their own vendors (4) said they needed to fix the problem because it would be an reoccurring problem and here we are . So I went on my meld for the first time and just read where they have fraudulently indicated that they added an circuit in my main breaker panel which NEVER HAPPENED and they also notified County Code inspections that they did this also which is so far from the truth. The only thing they did was replace the outlet that burned out and they said was my fault for plugging a tv and my ****** camera plug in (so if two things plugged in a two thing outlet caused the problem they synoptic have an outlet there for 2 things to be plugged there. Homework's Properties Never hired an electrician every vendor they sent said they were not an Electrician because I was told to ask and they all reported the problem could not be handled by them because they were not electricians and Homework' s Properties was aware of the problem that exists and was not going to pay an electrician to fix it . I was present 2 of the 4 times that they sent out their vendor and witnessed them telling them they needed to hire an electrician, my mother was there on another time and my cousin and a friend of mine the last time. Now today 11/14 I am having the same exact problem PLEASE HELP, I am so disappointed with this company they are slum lords and liars they do not take care of there problems they just lie and do quick fixes and make up excuses and accuse their tenants for their pre-existing problems . God please I pray to expose

To set the dates right, the first report regarding the maintenance issue regarding no power on the 2nd floor was on Sep 15th not on Sep 29th. When the issue on the 2nd floor was reported for having no power, we immediately called one of our electricians to schedule their visit however we were advised to call BGE first because there may be a Phase wire from the pole outside to the property that is not working properly.
We contacted BGE, and indeed there was an electrical issue in the area and was advised that it would be restored the same day. The tenant also received a text notification from BGE while on the phone with us with regard to the ETA of the restoration of power in the area.
The following day, the tenant reported that there was still no power on the 2nd floor and the tenant agreed to the electrician's visit on Sep 16.
On the day of the scheduled appointment, we received a report back from the vendor saying that he wasn't able to complete the repairs needed and that an incident had occurred.
Details of the incident are as follows: A child (the tenant's son) was following our vendor around the property. Our vendor was concerned about the child's safety, he advised the child to stay away because it was dangerous.
He was afraid that he might run into him while he was repairing the electrical circuit, which would be dangerous for both the child and our vendor. At that point, our vendor stepped outside for some additional tools and materials. When the vendor walked back towards the property he was confronted by the tenant on the doorstep. He was told that she had two guns that she knew to use them. Out of fear for his safety, he had to leave, did not finish the job, and didn't want to come back.(see the screenshot vendor's text messages.) Due to this instance, we had to find a different vendor and were scheduled to visit the property on 09/23/2022, which the tenant confirmed.
On the day of the repair, Inspector ** of Baltimore County called and informed him of the current situation and was given until Sep 26 to fix it. (see attached call recording with the inspector) The issue was fixed(please see attached invoice) and according to the assessment of the electrician, the tenant is currently using too many appliances at one time, causing the tripping of the breaker. The outlet is being overloaded, causing the breaker to trip. The tenant reset the breaker multiple times without remediating the overloaded outlet, and this burnt out some of the wiring. (please see attached file for the Electrician's assessment as well his electrical license)
The most recent maintenance request of having no lights or power again on the entire 2nd floor was on November 14 this was deemed an urgent issue. Our representative tried calling the tenant but was routed to voicemail. We texted the tenant and she is only available on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to accommodate our electrician. We want this fixed for the tenant as soon as possible, but it's the tenant's schedule that's holding it back. (please see the attached screenshot)
Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/11/17) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The reason I do not except the response is because everything is exaggerated that they stated, my grandson is a teenager and he was only following the vendor because he was a stranger in our house and he was not in his way and the vendor left because he asked my grandson would he be following him the entire time he would be there and I said either he would or I would because your not a guest and he got upset and left. Homework's Properties has not sent an certified electrician to my house at anytime because each vendor that arrived was asked there positions and they all said they were not electricians and told me that that's what I needed to get the problem fixed and when I asked them to please put it in writing they said they worked for Homework's Properties and they could not because that's their employer an Ty was the inspector that I called and had he didn't do nothing, nobody cares.
Business Response /* (4000, 10, 2022/11/21) */
As mentioned in our previous response, We could have scheduled the electrician's visit sooner, however, the tenant is only available on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday when asked for their availability last week(please see the previously attached document). Given the incident during the previous electrician's visit (please see the previously attached document), and the report provided by the electrician sent by the Home Warranty Company that denied the property owner's claim due to tenant-caused damage by overloading the outlet causing the breaker to trip, we have to assign this to a different electrician. It would greatly help if the tenants can make a more open schedule(not limited to only weekends) so we can get this matter resolved as soon as possible.
