In June of 2024, we moved to Charlotte, NC from Jacksonville Florida. In doing so, we applied to a few apartment communities. Residences at Brookline was one of them and they denied approval. This meant that per their rules, they would refund the Admin fee for both myself and my husband (***** ******). We never received anything. We called several times and sent many emails. They had me reach out to some company that was not able to assist and stated that they had no idea as to why they had us call them. I've attached the emails I do have. The manager requested that I email the updated address for us here in Charlotte, which I immediately did, yet we still never received anything. It will be a year in June and I'm shocked that a luxury apartment community would take one through so much for a simple refund. I've lost track of everything and normally think about this every few months or so and check in. I checked in with the community today but as always, I doubt I'll here anything. Can you guys please assist with receiving what is owed to us? If needed, I can be reached at ###-###-#### or husband can be reached at ###-###-####.Business Response

My husband and I moved out of an apartment managed by Greystar September 15, 2024. Greystar initially said that we still owed them approximately $80, this included after they made deductions from our $600 deposit. This included erroneous over charges & double charging from a utilities bill; there were no charges for damages to the unit. After a lot of getting the run around from Greystay, they have finally admitted (verbally over the phone) that my husband and I do not owe them money, they owe us money, in the amount of $251.24. However, they are now telling us that they (Greystar) no longer manage the property we had rented and that the new owners are responsible for returning our deposit. My husband visited the apartment complex and the manager said, no they are not responsible for returning our deposit, Greystar is responsible for the return of our deposit.Customer Answer

July 22, 2024 I paid a nonrefundable application fee of $180.16 and informed the Employee Heidi in person and over the phone that I would have additional pay stubs to add to my application after I began my second job within the span of 2 weeks. Our correspondence extended to August 3, 2024, when she unreasonably closed my application without fully processing the information provided.

I’ve been complaining about my upstairs neighbors since I’ve moved in. I moved in out here in December. Been calling the office since January complaining and most they say is to keep calling. My neighbors are ridiculously noisy. The times that they make the most noise are insane. They always start around 10 PM and carry throughout the night all the way through till 3 AM. Sometimes the noise stopped from there but picks back up around 6 AM. The Most office the office do is tell me to call, who’s getting up out of there sleep at 12 in the night at 2 AM in the morning to call about a noise complaint while I’m trying to sleep because I have to in at 4 AM on some days . everything is I have been calling almost every night and when I go up there to the office to complain, they say oh yes, I received your calls. Continue to call. What do you mean? Continue to call. Then they asked me wht do I be hearing and I tell them it sounds like dogs jumping around. They proceed to tell me the neighbors aren’t supposed to have any dogs record it and they will send them a violation. I record multiple videos email them and it’s still the same thing. I asked them how many calls does it take for the violation to go through they tell me “I don’t know” , but I thought you said you could send it through after I sent y’all the videos of the dogs. I’m just annoyed.. 4-5 months staying here.. not one late payment nor violations and can’t even get a peaceful night of sleep. Like I promise the noise is so loud some night I’m jumping out my sleep thinking someone is trying to break inBusiness Response

Our water smelled so bad when we moved in that it stained our body, dishes, and anything that it touched . We could not drink, bathe, or cook using this water and for the next 4 weeks we relied on water bottles. my water was not usable or drinkable water until October . 5 weeks after i moved in.
On the day of move in we were racially profiled. After less than 15 minutes of being there we were approached by Doug . he asked did we know another black family that was sitting on the completely opposite side of the patio because they were smoking and he wanted to remind us there was no smoking. We had no interactions with that family nor did we agree that we knew them so the comment about smoking was simply made because both families were black. outdoor parking is $30/ mo and garage parking is $125. After moving in we noticed the gate on the garage had been broken for months. we simply decided to remove the vehicles all together until the garage was actually fixed and we were using what we were paying for.I was charged 2 late fees (1 in jan. 1 in feb) although my payments were not late. There was a month where we expressed rent would be late. During that month i was charged 2 late fees for a one month cycle. After 3 weeks of emailing the property manager i didn’t get any answer… they take 1-3 weeks to respond to simple things like questions, concerns, and maintenance requests.My neighbor who lives to the right of me is extremely racist. The female occupant has called me racial slurs on several occasions. They have violated me in many ways including coming to my apartment late at night, calling the police for false reports (which have been proven) , and making false noise complaints. i emailed the property about receiving complaints on days when no one is occupying the unit. i was told that if the neighbor said it was my unit there’s nothing they can do about it even after i gave proof that i was out of town. my ****** review can be read for more details under The WestlynBusiness Response

Hello, Im in the military and was living at a Greystar apartment complex. I was given orders to deploy for the military for 6 months. I gave 30+ days of notice and a physical copy of my orders to the apartment complex. They acknowledged that and accepted that and when i moved out sent me a final statement of $74.47. Greystar then sent me a final statement of over $3000. I had called them and got into contact with Sharron J***** from Greystar, they said they were unaware of my military orders and she said i would stay have to pay a months rent even either orders, she then said she would call my apartment complex and call me back when it was resolved. It has been over 2 weeks, I have tried contacting her, greystar and my apartment complex through emails and phone calls and have not gotten a response or a update on the situation. Im trying to resolve the billing as this is really stressful especially with me being on the other side of the world in a different time zone.Business Response

In February I met with the business manager Daylon Z****** to break my lease. They agreed that I would have to pay my final month’s rent for March and a fee of $7,600 to break the lease.
I moved out on March 9th and provided the key to them on March 10th. So I paid close to $10k for my final 9 days.
Fast forward I thought all was good to go. On April 1st I get an email that I owe rent money. I just paid 10k so did not expect to pay more. Now I am being asked for like $91+ dollars due to prorated rent fees. How do I have prorated rent fees if I paid my final month and cancelled the lease?
I tried resolving this with the business since for their own account purposes they put April I would have been fine showing I paid $10k and the lease ended mid month.
The business agreed that information was miscommunicated but will just do right by someone who paid everything they asked.Business Response

On November 19th, 2023, I entered into a lease with Avana Tempe Apartments. This lease was then approved and stated that I would be able to move in and begin paying rent on December 29th, 2023. I paid Avana Tempe a security deposit of $750 ahead of our move in, obtained renter's insurance, and even cleared my ESA pet with their office. However, on that day when we arrived to the apartment, with a uHaul and family members that flew in to help me move, they told us at the last minute that our unit was not yet ready. I understood that the issue was unexpected, but Avana Apartments continued to delay my move in and failed to provide me with any proper update regarding the issues happening within the unit. I had already severed my previous lease with where I was residing prior to November 2023 and was temporarily displaced because of Avana Apartments. I decided to get out of my lease with Avana and pursue housing at a different complex. I reached out to Avana numerous times in an attempt to get my security deposit back, but these attempts have been futile. All I ask is that Avana Tempe refund me my deposit with interest.Business Response

I am filing a formal complaint against Vox Apartments (managed by Greystar) due to their improper and unjust handling of my security deposit refund. I moved into Vox on September 11, 2023, and moved out on January 10, 2025. At move-in, I paid a security deposit of $750, with Vox agreeing to return this deposit in compliance with California tenant law upon fulfillment of lease terms.
Vox has refunded only $195, claiming it covers a waived cleaning fee. I acknowledge minor paint damage on some parts of the wall, but this repair should realistically cost no more than $50. Therefore, I am disputing the unjustified withholding of the remaining $500 from my security deposit.
Additionally, the maintenance team explicitly promised me verbally, during their inspection prior to my move-out, that I would not be charged for the damaged sliding door. However, a Vox representative later unreasonably demanded written documentation of this promise. This request is ridiculous and unfair, as the assurance was given verbally by their own staff during an in-person inspection, and I have no means, obligation, or responsibility to provide written proof at this time.
Further, Vox processed my refund significantly later than the legally required 21-day period, clearly violating California tenant law. Despite communicating via email, I attempted numerous times to reach out to their community account support, Ragan M******, who has been intentionally ignoring my calls. Throughout our communication, Vox representatives have provided vague and evasive explanations, shifting responsibility and failing to resolve the matter fairly or transparently.
I demand that Vox immediately refunds the disputed $500 and complies fully with their legal obligations under California tenant law. I expect a prompt and clear response to resolve this matter.
Sincerely,Business Response
