  We were without hot water approximately 5 days, and no water for most of a day. There are ongoing rodent issues in my apartment and their only resolution is to send a weekly exterminator.

  Timberlake Apartments - A building - Intermittent hot water service.

  The hot water boiler went down on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at approximately, 6pm. The contractor was called out immediately which they responded within the hour and was able to restore the hot water. It was later identified that the boiler had a leak and needed to be replaced. The new boiler was ordered immediately and upon delivery was installed on Wednesday, January 22nd. With the holiday weekend and the snow event, the install happened as quickly as we could make it happen. The building has a secondary hot water boiler that did provide residents with warm to hot water until the install was competed and hot water was restored. The issue was not preventable, and the on-site team worked endlessly to restore the hot water. The lease does stipulate that we are not responsible for a disruption in utility service therefore a credit will not be issued.

  a significant issue about the rodent infestation in the neighborhood.The rodent menace has become unbearable, and I am concerned about the health risks associated. on 1/3 a rodent climbed under the hood of my car and bit thru the essential operating ********* damaged my car, costing me an ample amount of money in repairs. Due to this infestation the damages weren't visible and as a result placed me and toddler child at risk and compromised our safety.On 1/03/25 I contacted the rental office requesting to speak with Karind was told she was unavailable and left message to have her contact me back. The leasing consultant *****) he informed me that minor treatments were being executed, but l major treatment had yet to commence. I understand that it takes time to start the treatment however, this has been an ongoing issue, which has not only affected me but others in the community. I never received a follow up call to address my concerns.On 01/13/25 There was a second occurrence involving the infestation in my car, where the electricals in my car were tampered with. This caused me to contact the leasing office again to address the health and safety concerns due to this infestation. Although Karind was unavailable she did follow up, however when she called back, she was very dismissive, rude, unprofessional, and argumentative. Due to the horrendous and dismissive nature of management, and the lack of safety in this community I asked that my lease be broken without penalty, within the next 60 to 90 days, and she rejected my request.Aside from the infestation issues, there have been a plethora of other safety concerns in the community, such as Broken A/C for weeks during the height of summer (with an infant in the home) and two onsite shootings, and bedbugs. I've been a resident at this property for 5 years, with no violations or complaints. I've paid my rent on time with no delays, yet my loyalty and positive promotion of the property has been in vain

  Hello,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to share the residents concerns. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, and we take all reports of pest activity very seriously. Please be assured that we are actively working with our pest control provider to monitor and address any potential rodent activity in the community.
  
  As discussed previously, our exterminator has been completing preventive treatments in the area, and during their most recent inspection on January 18, no rodent ******* were observed near your building. However, as an added precaution, additional bait stations have been placed closer to the building to further mitigate any potential rodent activity. Additionally, we have scheduled a preventive treatment for the entire building on February 3, 2025.
  
  Regarding the residents specific concerns, we understand that they primarily relate to the exterior areas of the property, such as parking lots and dumpster areas, rather than inside the apartment home. As a proactive measure, we have offered to relocate their reserved parking space at no cost to help address their concerns about vehicle damage. While we understand rodents can vary from mice to squirrels, we cannot guarantee that wildlife activity will never occur in any area. We are committed to working with the resident to find the best possible solution.
  
  We would like to recognize the residents long-term residency and appreciation for her time as a valued member of our community. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge all the other concerns mentioned have taken place over the course of their five-year occupancy, and each one has been addressed when they occurred. While we regret that these issues may have caused frustration, we remain dedicated to providing a safe and well-maintained living environment for all residents.
  
  While we are unable to waive the early lease termination fees, we do have an established policy that allows for early termination with a 30-day notice and a one-month penalty, should the resident wish to proceed with that option.
  
  Rest assure we will continue to work diligently with our extermination team to monitor and treat any rodent activity in the community, particularly in the residents building area. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any further questions or would like to discuss available options.
  
  Best Regards,

  After I left a ****** review about bugs and barking dogs, the manager said she was not renewing my lease due to her false claim that I said I didn't want to live in a pet-friendly building. I've lived next door to several residents with dogs in my 18 years here, with no complaints. Since August 2022, I've lived next to a 1 BR unit with 2 large labs that loudly bark when anyone enters or exits my door. I asked to transfer to another unit in the building to get away from these 2 dogs. I sent several demand letters and emails to management. The last time was November 2022, after the neighbor allowed the unrestrained dogs to peer out the door and startle the maintenance tech. After management refused to act, I came to accept it. In August 2023, I asked the office to do a welfare check because the dogs were in distress. They were yelping and scratching at the door for several minutes. The manager also accused me of neglect when I posted photos of the bugs. Since November 2023, I have put in 12 work orders for pest control. Staff closed 2 work orders without completing them, and 1 was canceled without explanation. I had to contact Codes Compliance for help with getting the shoe molding caulked after that work order was canceled. I left the review in November 2024, but it stated the photos were taken in August 2024. I took them the night of August 24 when dozens of roaches crawled under my front door and invaded my apartment. There was an infestation in the apartment across the hallway. The residents lived in ***** and abandoned a litter of puppies. I've been in my current unit since 2019, and it was bug-free for 4 years. The exterminator always says it's too clean to have bugs. My rent has never been late. I've never violated my lease. My neighbors have never made any complaints against me. I've tried talking to the manager, but she has refused my calls and ignored my letters and emails. The leasing agent threw me out the office when I tried to calmly speak to her.

  Hello *** ********, 

  You are at the end of your lease, and much like you (the resident) can terminate the lease with proper notice, so can the landlord. Please rest assured, your manager non-renewal has nothing to do with you placing a review online. You issued a 3-star review which we can respect. You have expressed your dissatisfaction with your living environment on several occasions, not just this one time. You have expressed concern with pests but fail to allow entry, youve called code compliance-and theyve closed your complaint because you failed to report your concerns to the office, and more concerning is your aggressive communication with the staff-most recently during your last visit to the office based on what was witnessed on the surveillance recording. We believe this is the best decision for all parties involved. We thank you for your tenure and wish you nothing but the best.

   Complaint: 22813918
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Yes, I have expressed on several occasions my dissatisfaction with living with roaches for over a year. I have never had roaches before in my other 17 years here or when I lived elsewhere. These roaches came from an infestation in a unit across the hallway, not from my neglect. I have never failed to allow entry into my apartment. When pest control came late afternoon on December 3, 2024, I did not hear the exterminator knock. I WFH and had my bedroom door closed so that my 4-5 pm virtual meeting would not be disrupted by the two barking dogs next door. I emailed the property manager at 6 pm the same day and apologized for missing the exterminator. I apologized to the exterminator when he returned to treat my apartment on January 7. I called Codes Compliance because the *** staff canceled my December 5, 2023 work order requesting caulking around the baseboards and countertops. At the Codes inspectors urging, I resubmitted the request on October 9, 2024. When maintenance finally completed the work order on October 11, they admitted mistakenly believing I was referring to the top of the baseboards. I have never failed to report these concerns to the office. The Yardi portal shows the over dozen extermination work orders I have requested between November 2023 and now. One was canceled and two others were incorrectly marked completed, even though the work was never done. I sent the same photos from my November 24 ****** review to the manager on August 24 when I first noticed dozens of roaches crawling from the apartment across the hallway into mine. I have submitted nearly monthly extermination requests for over a year. Does the surveillance recording show when the leasing agent repeatedly talked over top of me, refused to allow me to speak, aggressively stood up from behind her desk, and asked me to leave the office twice? Does it show when she said that it was pointless to discuss my concerns and sarcastically remarked, Do you want us to tell the neighbors to muzzle their dogs or use a shock collar? After being treated so disrespectfully, I exited the office and said the agent was rude, unprofessional, and very unhelpful. I never was aggressive. I am attaching copies of my work orders, the ****** review and property response, a timeline of events, and two of my community bulletin board posts that were denied by the moderator.

  It is unfortunate that we are ending the relationship under these circumstances.  Our offices have tried to work with you since July 2024, when the initial filing took place, to get everything situated to be paid on time monthly.  There were specific deadlines that were imposed during the court case, that all parties were aware of, and unfortunately the balance was not paid prior to the final deadline to file the writ of possession.   Again, this was not the outcome that our offices were anticipating and we did try to work with you as best as we could.

  Recently I had my leasing contract terminated by this property because of some emails/reviews my partner (who I am no longer with) had sent them. Emails regarding his unhappiness because of getting his car towed etc. So I tried to plea with them to give me more time/stay/anything. No response back to this. Fast forward to, I left by the date that was listed dec 27, actually gave them back keys the 26th. 4 days later on the 31st I received an email from leasing office explaining what I have left to pay is on our online portal and I can head there to see it. I log on, see they are trying to charge me $259 for damages in addition to the utility fees for that month from the 1st-27th which I will pay and understand Im responsible for. But as far as damages go, there was minimal wear and tear damage considering I lived there almost 3 years. I asked them immediately on the 31st for a detailed list of damages and photos and explanation why my security deposit wasnt going towards this, and no response. Automated email says theyre closed til the 2nd, so I emailed them again January 3rd asking again for a detailed list and no response. They have a rule where if you dont pay your rent/fees from previous month by the 5th they charge you late fees so I wonder almost if theyre waiting for this? This place has time and time again done things that were questionable. I have more instances and issues but I really would like to just be done with this place. Pay them their last months utilities and be finished in communication for good.

  Good Day, 

  Your final charges were calculated based upon blinds in the home requiring replacement due to damages, as well as carpet requiring replacement (you are charged the pro-rated carpet life, not the full cost of replacement) due to resident damage.  You also have final utility charges (water/sewer) through the date you turned in keys on your final charges, as your utility charges through ************** have always been billed two-months behind. 

  There are no late fees assessed against rent or other charges after move out after the fifth of the month, as can occur when you are a current resident paying late rent so you need not worry about "late rent" concerns after vacating.

  We will send a follow up email with a breakdown of charges as well as the move-out inspection photos that led to the charges in question.

  If you have any additional questions regarding your account we are happy to assist.

  I have reported mold growth in my apartment to the leasing office multiple times. They have only addressed the concern one time, but I keep finding mold in my bedrooms. Its mostly around my windows and just recently started growing on my bedroom wall. The windows leak very bad causing excess condensation and the maintenance team said theyre replacing the windows but I need to keep bothering the office about it. The office told me I need to bother maintenance about it. The complex was bought by a new company, so they said all my previous work orders about it were lost in the transition. With the new owners, they still havent done anything. The replaced my thermostat because I thought it was reading wrong, but all of the heat is just leaking out of our windows. I have a 3 month old who really cannot be cold or inhaling mold constantly. Im concerned with the mold randomly starting to spore on my walls with my baby in my room. The mold also grows in her room on her windows, so we dont put her in her room because it is also always cold. Ive reached out to the leasing office multiple times with work orders and messages but no one ever responds or they just tell me to bother a different department.

  Hope this email meet you well ,just want to let you know its inacceptable to be paying so much money for an apartment like this and be struggling with parking. I had to miss work due to the kind of standards set up by this management in regards to parking which let to the towing of my car .I came back from work on the 29Dec breaking morning of the 30 of Dec i could not find parking in the entire complex then i decided to park in the visitors parking like i normally do when i don't see parking ,woke up the next morning i found out my car was towed. I call the complex to find out the reason why, they told me i parked in the visitor parking. I explain i could not find parking reason why the visitor parking was my only option because i normally get off work at midnight .i was told parking is first come first serve which make no sense because management need to make sure every resident/lease owner has a parking space before giving out the rest to the Tango for visitors parking. To fair this management need to make sure parking's are equal to the resident for each complex before giving out the rest for visitors/tango pay rather than keeping lease holder stranded late at night and I'm also requesting a refund for the towed payment . NB :it's their duty to make sure every lease owner has a parking at all time rather than first come first serve base with less parking space at the complex

  Hello,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to share these concerns regarding the recent towing of a vehicle in our community. We understand how frustrating this experience can be and always strive to provide the best customer service within our guidelines.
  
  Our parking policies are designed to ensure fairness and consistency for all residents. As outlined in the parking addendum signed at move-in with a recent copy provided as of December 28, 2025 parking for residents is available on a first-come, first-serve basis throughout the community with a valid permit. While spaces may not always be directly adjacent to every building, overflow parking is available across the property.
  
  Visitor parking spaces are reserved for guests and require payment by the hour. Unfortunately, residents are not exempt from this policy, and vehicles parked in visitor spaces without proper payment or authorization are subject to towing, as specified in our agreement with the towing company.
  
  For residents seeking guaranteed parking near their building, we do offer reserved parking spaces for an additional monthly fee. This option may help prevent similar issues in the future by ensuring a designated spot is available for use at any time of the day or night.
  
  Regarding the request for a refund of the towing fee, I regret to inform you that all lawful tows, as outlined in our contract with the resident and the towing company, do not qualify for reimbursement.
  We also appreciate the resident's feedback regarding the number of visitor parking spaces. This feedback is valuable, and we will certainly consider it as we evaluate whether adjustments to the allocation of visitor spaces may be needed in the future.
  
  We regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused and are happy to assist the resident in exploring the reserved parking option or addressing any other concerns they may have. Please feel free to contact our office if further clarification or assistance is needed.
  
  Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
  
  Best regards,

  At about 1644hrs today* 12/26/24* I worked into one of your Rental offices located at ************************************************ seeking assistance to update my automatic payment information* hence I had changed to a new bank. A customer service lady by name of 'Shae' in this office rudely and in the most disrespectful manner said " you can do it yourself'. I explained that I attempted to do it myself but was encountering some difficulty and that I wanted to ensure it was done properly so that I won't be in payment default. Ms ****** seemingly pretended to wanna help me with great reluctance while at the same time disparaging me and I quote "You are not reading the directions". At the end of the interaction* it was clear she wasn't going to of any help. Ms * ****** then asked me to move to an adjourning room so that we will continue the update there. I complied. Then she came back to me and shouted " we are going to continue outside where you can do it yourself* here is the door to the exit".. I was utterly taken aback by this manner of rude* inefficient and disrespectful type of customer service

  Hello,

  I did speak with ****** (leasing professional) and she said that Mr. ******* came to the office at approximately 4:45pm on 12/24/2024 and stated he needed assistance with the resident portal.  She told him he could have a seat at her desk.  She asked if he had the ********* app on his phone and he said yes.  She asked him if she could take his phone so she could better assist him by showing him the bank account icon.  She gave him his phone back so that he could enter his account information.  She said that he was getting frustrated because she could not enter his personal information for him.  She asked him if he wanted to come back with his bank account and/or debit/credit card information and he said, "I am a busy man, and I don't have time to come back.  You need to help me now."  ****** said at this time she was confused because Mr. ******* didn't have the necessary information for her to continue to assist him.  I was not present during this interaction, but ****** said that if she offended Mr. ******* or made him to feel uncomfortable, that was not her intent, and she sincerely apologizes.

  Thank you,

  I am filing this complaint on behalf of my disabled brother, F. ***** ****** as I am his legal representative. My brother was residing at an apartment in the ************* (**********************) neighborhood in *********, ******** (Property owned by Morgan Properties). We received his final account detail and found he was charged $500 for rust that formed on the outside of a stainless-steel refrigerator. When asked about the charge, we were told the charge was put into place because he didn't submit a "ticket" about the rust; further, we signed off that the unit was in good condition upon move-in and we acknowledged the terms about notification of any damaged and repairs. While it is true that the unit was in good condition on the move in date, the refrigerator still had delivery plastic on the appliance and the removal of plastic did not appear to be an issue of complaint. Months after removing the plastic, the refrigerator began showing rust and while cosmetically it was unappealing, my brother was only concerned about the operation of the refrigerator. The refrigerator did not rust due to anything done by the residing tenant. This charge is unfair and needs to be removed.

  Your apartment was inspected prior to move in. The item of concern was found due to the negligent cleaning chemical you used on the appliance prior to move out. Photos were sent due to this damage to both Residential Leaseholders for follow up concerns. At this time the charge will stand due to the damage found for your move out inspection. We did check prior records of appliance concerns, a complaint was not entered into our site portal for concerns of your appliance at move in. Please understand this would have been documented on your move in inspection sheet. You can contact your final billing statement through collections to set up payment arrangements if need be. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  I am rejecting this response because: this damage was not due to anything that was done by the tenant. I will get this complaint resolved thru the district court of Maryland or even thru HUD if necessary. I have complaints about bugs, rodents, floods, and security doors that never locked so we can air this matter legally. 
  Thank you very much for your attempt to resolve this matter. Morgan properties is being totally unreasonable.

  Hello,

  A walk through of the apartment was handled with the leasing agents prior to move in with no damage to the appliance. In addition, the damage that was found with the move out inspection was not reported prior to the Resident moving out.

  My brother lived in this apartment and he passed away over the weekend. I do not have the energy to fight with this company anymore so I give up. Morgan properties and this property manager both know the history he endured with the floods, the bugs, the mold, and the fire in which he lost everything.  I will pay the bill with whats left after I bury him.
  thanks for your efforts.

  On December 18th 2024, Morgan Properties had maintenance/contractors come to my apartment to do a rewrite ******* project. I wasnt home from the morning of the 18th through the 20th(the night of the 20th); I came home and my balcony door was left wide open with the blinds to the side( you could see clearly into my livingroom, as I live on the first floor). Items were stolen out of my apartment, I notified the police, my insurance and Morgan Properties leasing office and I am still waiting to be contacted by someone from corporate or their property manager. My insurance company is expecting me to pay a $500 deductible for my items to be replaced. Based on legal advice from my attorney, I was advised to have Morgan Properties pay the cost of my deductible as it was complete Negligence on Morgan Properties behalf. Im simply looking for the best resolution to my issue / immediate attention to my issue as Morgan Properties has continuously lacked expeditious responses in the past.

  Morgan Properties has been saying for the longest that theyre still investigating what transpired. My insurance has already somewhat compensated me for my items etc, but Morgan Properties is still been dragging their feet.
