      I began living at ************************* (owned by Morgan Properties) in Alexandria, VA in July of 2021. I signed a year long lease that was set to expire June of 2022. From the very first day, I experienced roaches. I attempted to have this resolved by requesting a pest control service to come in. They claimed they were "working on scheduling" and sent one in over a month later. I withheld rent up until a pest service was sent in, then paid. During this time, my apartment flooded multiple times and my carpeted living room floor was sopping wet. I did not pursue anything when the rain soaked the floor, but when the floor became soaked due to a malfunctioning HVAC I called emergency maintenance- maintenance corrected the HVAC but did nothing to fix the carpeting. A few week slater, the washer (I shared a wall with the laundry room of the building) malfunctioned and AGAIN, my carpets soaked. At this point, my TV stand, sofa and dog bed were destroyed. Shortly after, I began seeing mice in my apartment. I documented all of this and notified them that I had asthma and a dog, which placed me at increased risk. They made no attempt to fix the problem (I've attached video evidence of the exploded washing machine, and how their fix was to duck tape the door shut), so I gave 30 day notice under Virginia law for hazardous living conditions and moved out in December. Since then, they have claimed that I owe December-June's rent because they were not aware I had moved out. This amount totals $6,724. I would like this amount to be removed from my credit, and for Morgan Properties to cease contact with me.

      I lived at ******* ******* for 2 year and experienced continous problems the entire time. One of them being the company ***** *** that was contracted by Wexford came into our apartment while we were not home and moved all of our belongings in our kitchen and broke items. This was May 2021 and still do not have a resolution. ******* was supposably working on it with ***** *** but would avoid every time I followed up. We finally had enough stress from living there and moved out. They are keeping our deposit for repair charges of items listed on our move in inspection. One of the items is $200 to repair a countertop that I emailed a photo of to the leasing manager when we moved in. We moved in November 16 and I emailed the photo December 7 which I had been speaking with the leasing manager about and he asked me to email it in so it could be on file for move out. They will not honor this, nor the items that are clearly listed on my move in inspection. They are holding my money and need to send a check for the corrected items. We were caused so much distress while living there, we just want to finally be free from this nightmare but they do not care for their residents at all. I want to add that I called the "district manager" multiple times and left messages throughout our time there and she didn't return any phone calls.

      Hey I’ve been complaining since July of 2020 of the breaking and entering of my car and other cars for a good min. I even had to call the police out cause guys had guns but my biggest problem is I’ve been trying to get in touch with the office to give them my 60 day notice since May of 2022 and I couldn’t talk to nobody nor see because they was never there and now they charging me over $2,000 that I don’t think I should have to pay. They took my $300 deposit and I should have to pay the rest for July bill. Nobody won’t talk to me and when I go up there nobody is still there. This is not professional at all. Somebody needs to call me ASAP

      My biggest a scariest concern is maintenance will let themselves in with out my permission or any heads-up. Also, Recently money has gone missing from my place. I'm constantly afraid that someone will bust in my place unknowst to me. I have never lived in any place where maintenance is allowed to jist let themselves in my place. What most upsetting is I have told management that I would like notice and this keeps happening. Little increments of money has gone missing and I was unaware that they'd been letting themselves in my place. I need help.

      The resident is referring to our bi-annual filter changes. She was notified that we would be coming to her apartment on November 29th, but due to a misunderstanding with the maintenance department, her inspection was done the week prior. Her adult son was home at the time our maintenance team did her filter change. Apparently he never mentioned to his mother that maintenance had come out to complete the filter change so when the 29th came and maintenance didn't arrive she called the office to find out why. The office explained that maintenance had been out the week prior and the resident became very upset saying we hadn't given her proper notice. The office staff member she spoke with admitted she was correct, that our maintenance team should not have gone in on the day they did and profusely apologized to ************ repeatedly. ************ continued to be upset but after a lengthy conversation with the office team member the discussion ended on a friendly note. ************ did mention money being missing during the phone call, but it was during a heated part of the discussion and the office team member was not able to get into the details with the resident. ************ has never before mentioned that money has gone missing from her apartment and again, her adult son, who is a lease holder, was home at the time that maintenance was in their apartment. The property does not use master keys. We use a system called Key Track. All apartment keys are locked in the Key Track system and can only be accessed with a team member logging out the key. They need either their fingerprint or password to log into the Key Track system to get the key out. So anytime someone has taken a key out for **************** apartment, there is a record of when it was taken out and returned and who took the key. All other times that maintenance has entered **************** apartment she has been given as least 48 hours notice barring any emergencies as is our policy. She has been upset in the past when maintenance has unlocked her door when she is home, but these were times when she was notified that someone from our maintenance team would be coming out that day and she did not open the door after repeated knocking and did not answer the phone when the office called to say maintenance was at her door. The leasing office would be happy to discuss **************** concerns regarding missing money with her or with a police agency should she choose to contact one. She is correct that maintenance entered her apartment on the one occasion when 48 hours notice was not given but that is the only time it has happened since ************ took possession of her apartment and maintenance was there with the other lease holder the entire time they were completing the filter change. Thank you.

      I was a resident at Morgan Properties for a very short time (2/22-7/22). In my time there I was lied to (they lied about certain things they would fix in my appartment to get me to sign a lease then didn't complete them), maintenence requests took forever to complete (some never were completed), my car was vandalized, my HVAC unit leaked and flooded my appartment on 4 seperate occasions (one was from my washer when they did maintence and didn't put something back right) and they did not completely dry my appartment causing mold to grow and made me very sick which they ignored, and they are now saying I owe money and turned my information over to a debt collector. I have sent countless documents proving I do not owe them any money (they are trying to charge me for months I was not even in the appartment) yet they still handed my information to a debt collector. When the mold issue first arose I was belittled by corporate as well as local office managers. I never missed a payment nor was I late. I left the appartment in perfect condition yet they still kept my security deposit. I am attaching the debt they say I owe as well as recipts showing where I paid the rent as well as my new lease proving I was not in the appartment for the months they are charging for. The reason I did not pay the termination fee is because I was FORCED to leave due to health conditions. I have a mold test that was completed as well as a doctor note telling me to vacate the appartment. I cannot express how angry and disgusted I am with Morgan Properties. I want my information removed from the debt collector before this affects my credit and to NEVER hear from Morgan Properties or their associates EVER again. Thank you for your help. I truly pray this place gets closed down one day.

      Good day, BBB.

      Please be advised that **. **** was advised on multiple times that per the terms of your lease Buyout Agreement (attached) the buyout fee needed to be paid on the same day you executed the buy out option. The fee was not paid leaving you rent responsible until 10/2/2022. Also, that per her Utility Addendum, Morgan Properties was not your utility service provider, that was ****************************.  Moreover, as they have always invoiced their charges two (2) months in arrears. Her ledger also shows that on Aug 11th a partial payment from chk# ********** in the Amount of $50.85 was received. Then on 10/16 a partial payment made via her online account portal in the amount of $52.41 was received, leaving the current balance of $1,712.90. 

      As a friendly reminder that MP filed & was awarded a Warrant of Restitution from the Macon-Bibb County, District Court for nonpayment. Please note that the District Courts would have reported these filings and recorded balance to the three National Credit agencies & to your Rental History reports as required by all applicable laws. Morgan Properties has a third-party debt collection agency that was also given your account. They would have furnished or have scheduled to furnish your information on our behalf to ********, *******, and ********** as well. They are current seeking to take further collection action as per all applicable laws in the state of GA.

      For **. **** have her account satisfied of her outstanding balance & to be Discharged from any and all liability arising from this lease. She may use her online resident portal to make her payment if one was created before you vacated? Or complete the attached credit card authorization form and e-mail it back to this e-mail address only when you would like your payment to be processed. You may fax it to the number below, and the transaction will be run manually for you.There will be no additional fees added upon completion of this manual transaction. A receipt will be sent to your e-mail address. Or you can mail a Cashier Check or Money Order to Morgan Properties at the address below.

      Prior to moving in me and my fianc asked the property ******** ***** in Harrisburg Pa to see the unit upon moving in and the property employee that was attending us his name was Joe his attitude was really nice once we first went to apply and after we applied it went downhill. So they never let us see the unit before moving in because they weren’t done with it. And then they failed to send us the welcome letter after we made all of our payments for the property and on the move in date they called us an hour before we were moving in to tell us about information that they needed about documents. Our move in date was November 11th and it is November 14th and they have not given us our mailbox keys. The one that we received was cut wrong and I went into the office and spoke to Joe that I needed my mailbox key because I was waiting on important medical documents that needed my attention and it was time sensitive and he said to put in a maintenance request for it. I asked him how long it would take and he said he wouldn’t know that they are completed in order that they are received.

      Business Response

      Date: 11/28/2022

      Good Morning ********,

      Thank you for letting us know about your concerns. I am sorry if the move-in process did not go as planned, but please know you can always reach out to our office directly with any questions/concerns/complaints and we will address them directly.

      Regarding your concern with not receiving the welcome letter, I see *** sent it out via email on 9/15 and on 11/9. If you did not receive these emails, please check your spam folders/ensure the address provided to our office is correct. The email addresses we received for you were " *********************" and "**************************".

      I do see that there was an issue with your mailbox keys, and sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. It looks like the request was put in on November 14th and the new keys were delivered to you on the 14th, but if there is still an issue, please contact me directly so we can get this taken care of for you.

      Again, if there are ever any questions/comments/concerns/complaints, please reach out to our office directly so we can address in a timely manner for you.

      Sincerely,

      Kelly V*************
