      Latest NOTICE OF ENTRY spanned three calendar days (4/3 to 4/5) from 10A to 4P. This was for "planned maintenance", although residents were only given roughly a week's notice. This created a problem for me as I work 12 hour night shifts at a local hospital. When I contacted the property manager (after 4 tries) to attempt to ascertain an approximate time of entry, I was told that "no exceptions would be made". Please note that I did not request an exemption but merely a rough estimate on time, as I have a dog that would bark at anyone entering my domicile, thus waking me up. Three straight days breaches what I believe to be "reasonable", and under the circumstances: borders on harassment. Also, trying to reach the corporate office to have a rational discussion with someone in upper management is a joke as the voice recognition system DOES NOT WORK, and they have yet to respond to my voicemail.

      *******,

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during the recent scheduled maintenance. While we regret that we were unable to return your phone call within the requested one-hour time frame, we promptly reached out to you at our earliest availability and left a detailed message. Unfortunately, we have not yet received a response.

      At Redwood, we prioritize transparency and effective communication. We provide ample notice in advance of filter changes, utilizing both email notifications and hand-delivered communications. Our commitment to proactive communication ensures that residents are well-informed about upcoming maintenance activities.

      We understand that accommodating individual schedules can be challenging, especially given the nature of our work. Despite these constraints, we strive to minimize disruptions. During your phone call with the Neighborhood Manager, we estimated the entry time based on your home’s location, and we proceeded accordingly to complete the necessary work.

      Your cooperation and understanding in facilitating preventative maintenance are greatly appreciated. We value your feedback and remain committed to enhancing our services. Should you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

      Thank you for being a valued member of Redwood Findlay.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      There is absolutely no reason why a "planned" maintenance event cannot be posted somewhere, The filters are a planned quarterly event? There are a hundred different options on getting these timeframes to your residents. I would suggest the option to self schedule during a larger ranges of dates on your portal. (Just so they are done 3 months apart). I would point out that there were more issues than just mine with this last round of filter changes. As later communication indicated that several of the units had HVAC units that were inaccessible due to items being left in front of the access doors. This issue could have been addressed in real time if the resident were home at the time the work/inspection. Use of technology may not only make the experience less intrusive to your residents but may also save staff time and frustration as well. 

      Your approach to management needs to be more geared towards serving the paying resident and less towards what is the easiest for the employees and vendors. Excellent customer service is often what makes people choose one company over another. They tend to vote with their dollars and endorse businesses that best serve their needs. It really shouldn't need to be said.

      Regards,

      ******* ******

      I have lived at Redwood for 22 months. Before signing my 24 month lease I specifically asked Lanie what the renewal would be. She specifically told me 3%. Otherwise I would not have signed the lease. Now I was given a document on Feb 14th and had 14 days to renew. This is not enough time to find another place to live, make moving arrangements etc. my average monthly rent including pet fee and water etc. does not include electricity and gas is currently approximately 1,950.00. Now the increase is 2010 which does not include pet deposit water fee and curbside refuse. With those included it should be approximately 229.00 more a month. I asked for a redwood higher up I can talk to and was not given one.

      I, *** **** ****** moved into Redwood Apartment Neighborhood; also known as Redwood Living on September 28, 2023. I had a difficulty with the neighborhood manager, ****** *********, ie, unprofessionalism speaking about me in front of other people, arguing with me, telling me bits and pieces of pertinent information needed to submit everything at once while applying for residency; just to name a few. I had to go to her office 3 different times; 40 miles one way, 240 miles.Since my move in, she badgered my guests almost as soon as they got out of their vehicle, which was parked, just in front of my driveway. I have made every effort to avoid her because stress and disrespect is not what I need! The most recent issue has my nerves frazzled! On 12/13/23 she emailed me telling me to take down my camera from the garage door. On 12/ 19/23, she sent me another email regarding the camera referring to lease violation. I checked my lease. There is nothing in my lease pertaining to cameras. Dec 27,2023 she sticks a letter in my door, regarding the camera. My neighbors car was stolen out of their driveway on November 10, 2023. If I had had the camera up prior to that date, the car thief could have been caught on camera. I am a single senior and need to feel safe at all times at any cost. The cameras help me to feel safer. As I say, there is absolutely nothing in my lease stating anything about cameras. I attempted to inform the main office. The office sent the complaint to her and she called me. She stated that whatever issues are going on the company would inform her, and I would have to deal with her directly.Therefore, I would like for Mr. ******* *********, who is the founder, CEO and executive chairman of Redwood Living. To be informed . I would like this taken care of taken as soon as possible. Please tell me what my next step should be. I should not be harassed, nor evicted because I have cameras up for security. This is 2023. I need to be safe!

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience at Redwood Charlotte Harris Houston Road. We’re sorry to hear your living experience isn’t meeting your expectations.

      With regards to your guests parking in the street in front of your apartment home, street parking is strictly prohibited in your neighborhood, as per your lease agreement.

      10. All vehicles are to be parked within marked spaces only, and no parking shall be permitted in access ways or in any area that would prohibit or impede the free flow of traffic throughout the neighborhood. Parking is not permitted in any areas designated “No Parking” or on the lawns, walks, curbs, stoops or patios of the Apartment, the neighborhood or any of the common areas.

      Unfortunately, security cameras of the sort you have installed are also a violation of your signed lease agreement. You may install a Ring doorbell, but nothing else may be permanently affixed to the exterior of your home.

      III. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations 1. No screws, anchors or plastic mollies may be placed in the walls, woodwork or any part of the Apartment. 2. The Tenant shall make no alterations or improvements to the interior or exterior of the Apartment without written permission from Landlord, including, but not limited to, affixing, hanging or displaying lights or decorations, cameras, or satellite hardware to/on the exterior of the Apartment. The foregoing does not apply to smart doorbells that have a camera (e.g. Ring and similar).

      We strive to provide a comfortable and peaceful living experience for all of our residents and we hope that you will find these rules are in place for these reasons. We've shared your concerns with management and will reach out to you shortly.

      RECEIVED VIA EMAIL BY BBB STAFF MEMBER:

      I was unaware of the email dated Jan 5, 2024, until today when I saw the one that I am responding to, dated January 19, 2024.

      NO, I AM NOT SATISFIED! This is 2024 and crime is escalating daily.  I need to feel safe. 
      There is nothing written in my lease about cameras.  I do not have anything permanently fixed.  Safety should be a concern.  I am not comfortable nor do I feel safe. 

      On October 31, 2023, the garage door opened and shut 3 times without any assistance from me or the openers in my possession. Dogs are constantly running loose in my backyard without any owner or leash attached. November 10, 2023, the neighbor's car was stolen out of their driveway. On January 6, 2024, at 8:07 am I found my garage door open and it had been for a while because rain was in the garage.  I have no idea how this happened.  
      Yesterday, I thought someone was trying to break in when I heard a noise, and when I  looked out the garage door and saw a man on a ladder.  Management should have informed me that someone would be working on the garage door.  They did not
      So safety is a concern for me.

      Business response

      01/26/2024

      ** *******

      We understand that feeling secure in your home is of utmost importance. However, the lease does state that you may not affix anything to the exterior of your home, with the exception of the camera at your front door, which is allowed.

      "The Tenant shall make no alterations or improvements to the interior or exterior of the Apartment without written permission from Landlord, including, but not limited to, affixing, hanging or displaying lights or decorations, cameras, or satellite hardware to/on the exterior of the Apartment. The foregoing does not apply to smart doorbells that have a camera (e.g. Ring and similar)."

      Regarding the garage door opening on its own, our service team does not have any record of you reporting this issue in the past. Please submit a service request ASAP so that our team can address this immediately.

      Each unit has a floating floor; recently the flooring has been dc’d. My office is set up in the den; it's listed as a den on the floor plan. I bought polyurethane wheels for my office chair to protect the floors, but I've put my foot through the floor in my den twice now. Aug being the second time. The floor guy came out & was going to pull a piece of flooring out of my bathroom to replace the bad board & then replace the bathroom floor w/ new, but none of the boards were long enough...so he GLUED it. He said there's only a few options (A) replace the whole floor in my den, but there will be a strip across the middle of my floor where the 2 different types of flooring in my living room & den meet (B) get RC to replace all the flooring so it matches (C) put down a mat/rug to cover up the hole. Shortly after he left, the glue gave way & the hole was back & bigger. Last week I was told that ****** ****** **** **** said they would not be repairing my floor because I refused a maint request & that I never put a mat down, which has made the floor worse. I should not be blamed for a hole from normal wear/tear because they've ignored me since this happened. For ****** to say I refused a maint request is an absolute lie! That it's my fault the floor is worse because I never put a mat down like they told me to. NO ONE ever told me to; it was an option the floor guy gave. I’ve been waiting on a response from ****** for months on what their plan is because the floor still needs repaired; you can't just cover up the problem. If I moved, they would have to repair the floor before someone new moved in. The floor guy told me that anywhere 2 boards come together, if you walk/sit/stand enough, eventually that lip will break and the floor will cave, so it could happen where my couch is, my counter stools, my kitchen table & chairs, and even my walking path from the patio to the front door. I shouldn't need to put mats all over my house. I am not the only one w/ this flooring issue.

      *********,

      We understand your concern with the damage your office chair is doing to the floor in your flexible space. Our documentation shows that on October 11, 2022, and again on October 19, 2023, the onsite service technician, as well as a representative from Sherwin-Williams, recommended a protective mat, as the frequent stress on the floor continues to damage the planking. On October 25, 2023, the regional manager, et al, personally inspected the floor and concluded that replacement of the floor cannot be made without cooperation on your part. Our team is working on potential options for a flooring repair with the possibility of additional cost to you, conditionally based on adding a protective mat from this point forward. 

      We hope you find this solution beneficial for both parties. Please reach out to your neighborhood manager with your decision.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      It was not my office chair that caused the damage to the floor; I bought rubber wheels made specifically for hard floors. On 10/11/23 they came in & took a look at my floor. No one said at anytime that a mat needed placed down. They only said they’d be back to fix it. On 10/19/23 when the flooring person came to repair the floor, they were unable to. The flooring person told me that the slab was not poured evenly, and that it WASN’T my chair that caused the damage. He told me anywhere the two pieces come together could cave when walked on enough; that I could put a rug down to COVER the hole…not that I “should” put a mat down to prevent further damage. He tried repairing it with glue! The regional manager that inspected my floor did NOT give me a conclusion while here. I was told that I would be notified of how Redwood would proceed. I was told mid-December that Redwood would NOT be repairing my floor.


      There are other units with flooring damage, as well as the rental office. Based on my conversation with the floor people, this is most likely why this flooring has been discontinued.


      Regards,

      ********* ********

      Coal - We always want our residents to have a great experience and it looks like that didn’t happen this time. We do appreciate your residency at Redwood Wadsworth and previously at Redwood North Ridgeville Bagley Road.

      If we are understanding correctly, you are requesting a refund for the one extra day you were in your apartment home. We're sorry you misunderstood that when our previous manager allowed you to stay one extra day, it would come with a charge. Regardless of the misunderstanding, any resident who stays beyond their expected move out date will be charged per day that they are in the home. We abide by Fair Housing laws which necessitates all residents receive the same treatment for moving out.

      Regarding your comments about our onsite team, we will not tolerate disparaging comments toward our staff, past or present. Our team is required to follow policy when it comes to move outs, charges, and other procedures relating to your residency.

      We were done early with the Cleaning and Ready to hand in the keys , there was no manager to give them to,   We also asked to have a small hole repaired and offered to pay the fee , thus being 1 day late moving out because the New Manager LEXI , just kept saying over and over 

      that whatever that other manager told you was irrellavant, :  So it does not take a Rocket Scientis to understand that everything that went wrong was becase the other Manager Was LET GO !      and we got the butt end of her leaving.     IT was not about the $76 but the way we were treated so poorly .

      You keep your $76.  but no that the end was a MISERABLE eperience for us and were never coming back.

      In May, 2023, I informed ***** at the office (Lebanon, OH location), that I was beginning to look at houses and wasn't sure if I was going to end my lease a little early (lease was until mid September), or I may go over depending on the crazy housing market. On June 30, 2023, I gave written notice that I was vacating by August 30th, and gave my forwarding address. Turns out I was out of the apartment by the middle of June, but still paid my full rent for June and August. I turned my keys in with my payment on August 2nd. As you can see with the attached email, there are a number of inconsistencies by ***** and Lisa at Redwood . They fit whatever narrative when I catch them in a lie. I've tried calling the corporate office to speak with someone there but all you get is voicemail and when you leave a message, they have ***** or Lisa call me back. At the end of the day, I gave 2 months notice, paid for those 2 months and they had possession for a month. I should be given back my security deposit because they didn't list the correct room that needed done, and even then, there were no spots in the den like they said (again switching it to their narrative). Then they say I owe for the rest of September, but then later said it is a termination fee??? I believe they rented my apartment shortly after I gave my keys, and yet they are still charging me. There is always a waiting list. I also believe they are saying there was an issue with the carpet so they can keep my security deposit.

      Hello ********* - We're sorry to hear that your move-out experience did not meet your expectations. Our records indicate that your keys were turned in on August 21, 2023 and the unit was not rented until September 19, 2023. Due to Fair Housing laws, we cannot adjust move-out dates based on the volatile housing market, but we appreciate your payments for July and August. With regard to your security deposit, photographic proof of the carpet damage is attached, which is the sole reason you will not be receiving a refund. We do apologize that the move-out statement was originally incorrect, and have adjusted it to indicate the den is where the carpet damage occurred.

      They stated they didn't receive the keys until mid August.  I dropped the keys off on August 2nd when I gave my final payment.  ***** didn't want to walk through the apartment with me.  I see getting billed for the damage to the carpet close to the slider, because I told ***** about it.  But how do I know those pictures are from my apartment or the person before me didn't do the damage?  Also, in Ohio, a landlord has the duty to mitigate damages, which requires that a landlord make reasonable efforts to re-rent the premises rather than charging the tenant for the remaining lease.  When the premises is rented out, the tenant is only responsible for the amount of time the unit was vacant (***** * ***** *** ***** *** *************).   I do not think Redwood attempted to lease this out early.  There is always a waiting list, so it should have been re-leased way before 9/19.  My resolution, is to get my deposit back, and I want to be sure I'm not getting billed for $997 for September.  I gave the 2 months notice that is listed in the contract.  Again - in the email it says it is for rent, then they said it was for terminating the lease.  The lies they tell to get me to pay this and take my security deposit is ridiculous when I have been upfront and honest from the beginning.

The regional manager ***** at the redwood commerce location was the one who signed and agreed to this and a lower level management sent me the bill for the remaining month payment and won’t respond to my calls or texts. Attached are the documents and the error they made but it won’t let me remove my payment method from their payment center and they charged me at their will and will not provide me with corporates phone number. Please help … on a separate note I have documented instances of their employees entering my apartment on days that they said they wouldn’t because my dog was home, floods inside the apartment from not licensed plumbers, radon test results , electric problems for three years straight and failure to provide me anyone at corporates number to help me.

      I lived at Redwood ********* for 3 years with a lease expiring on 9/11/23. In June 2023 I notified the manager, Lisa, in writing that I was not renewing and that I had someone who wanted to move into my specific apartment on 8/15/23. We were told that person could not move in until AFTER my lease ended on 9/11. So we (myself and the potential new tenant) pushed the issue and were finally told, by Lisa, the legal department said that she could move in if I paid the balance of my lease through 9/11 when I paid the August rent. Then, once she took possession I would get a refund of the overlapping days (Aug 15 – Sept 11). So, I paid the balance on 8/1/23 to finalize the full balance of the lease. Then I moved out on 8/6/23 and returned the keys to Redwood on 8/7/23. Meanwhile the new tenant signed her lease and took possession of the apartment on August 16, 2023. Redwood has now collected rent on the exact same apartment from both me and the new tenant. I received a full refund of my security deposit (less the expected sewer/water which is billed in arrears) on August 21, 2023. However, I have not yet been refunded the rent monies for the days in which the leases overlapped - which I am due. My calculations show that amount to be: $1,418.50 (Rent: $1568/mo, + Pet Rent: $30/mo). I have reached out to the new manager (*******?) multiple times about this and she has told me she “can't get an answer” from anyone. There has been significant turnover in ********* Redwood management since this process started - Lisa was fired before I moved out, Katie took over and assured me she understood the situation, then I moved out and they now have a new site manager, ******* (sp?) who doesn't know or seem to understand the situation at all. After calling MULTIPLE people MULTIPLE times last week I was told that it was a “communication issue” but that has been their only acknowledgement of the situation. I want my refund immediately.

      Hello Mr. ******,

      We understand that the regional manager approved your refund check on Monday, September 18, and that this complaint may have overlapped with your communications with her. While we technically have 30 days to close out your account and issue the payment, it's been confirmed that your check was mailed this week. The regional manager will also reach out to you today to confirm. We hope this meets with your satisfaction. Thank you.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that the facts provided by Redwood Living are very obviously incorrect.  However, I did receive a refund check on 9/16/23 and am satisfied that this solves my issue.

      I would like to state, for the record, that my complaint did not "overlap" with Redwood's communications, as there was absolutely NO COMMUNICATIONS from Redwood whatsoever. Despite my multiple calls and voicemails to the site manager, regional managers, and Redwood legal team members, I did NOT receive any communications from them, whatsoever. Had they communicated with me regarding the process, as they claim, I wouldn't have had to file a complaint at all. A simple phone call to let me know they overlooked it and that it was being expedited would have prevented all of this.

      Yes, Redwood has 30 days to close my account. On August 20, 2023 I received a check with my security deposit. THAT was Redwood "closing my account" - they simply FORGOT about the refund for the rent. So, this was NOT a matter of them "having 30 days". Those 30 days were past. I moved out, returned the keys, and was considered a "former tenant" effective August 7, 2023. Thirty days later was September 7, 2023. I filed my complaint on September 12, 2023.

      In their response dated September 12, 2023 they claim that the refund was approved by a regional manager on September 18, 2023. Read those dates again. The whole scenario is farcical and their response is laden with mistruths. But I have my refund and we can close this matter.

      I moved out from Redwood Living on 7/18, I sent the leasing office a move-out notice on 6/20, and my lease was supposed to end on 8/14, since my lease requested 60 day notice period, I was charged month to month rate for 8/15-8/19 and this is paid off on 8/1. I received my security deposit today and it's only $188.2 while it's supposed to be $500. I checked the bill, there's a water bill from 6/25 to 8/19 while I've already made the payment on 8/1 for the period of 6/25 to 7/25, the statement is attached as evidence. also, there's an insufficient notice fee showing that I noticed them on 6/29, which is wrong. I want to get my money back.

      We appreciate your inquiry regarding your security deposit refund and are sorry that you've experienced anything other than our high standards of customer service. We have reviewed your move-out statement and confirmed that you submitted a move-out notice on June 20th, which is within the required 60-day notice period. You were also charged a month-to-month rate for the period of August 15th to August 19th, which is correct. Therefore, a refund check in the amount of $233.33 is being issued today. We hope this meets with your satisfaction and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      They only responded to one request while I also requested the refund for the water bill they double charged. I need they full refund of the amount they overcharged. This business is sneaky, always overcharged when you don’t pay attention.

      After careful review of your account, we can confirm that you were NOT in fact charged twice for the water bill. Please see the attached copy of your ledger to show your last water payment was for the dates 5/25-6/24. The statement you provided covered the dates 6/25-8/19. Respectfully, at this time, the charges of $85.47 are valid and due. Thank you.
