I was a tenant at Berkeley Central apartments owned by Greystar, Apt 204, 2055 Center St, Berkeley 94704 from 10/28/23 until 07/27/2024. A security deposit of $1000 was paid on 10/28/23.
Berkeley Central was required to return the security deposit within 21 days after I had vacated the premises. A partial refund was provided of $596.22 on 8/22/24, past the appropriate time to refund the security deposit. The remaining security deposit was withheld, claiming it was for apartment cleaning, painting, and carpet cleaning. However, I cleaned the unit and left it in the same condition as move-in. I have made multiple attempts to contact Berkeley Central by email, phone, and have waited for a response, however, I have not received any response to my emails asking for the full refund of the security deposit.Business Response

I applied for an apartment with The Luxe with a friend of mine. They never got back to us and we ended up signing a lease elsewhere. We also tried calling them to dispute our application deposit, but never heard back. A month after applying, we were shocked to find an email charging us $25 for a unit we never moved into, and never even signed a lease for. We were appalled and demanded to speak to a representative but never got a call back, and they even hung up on us. We find this appalling, since many college students live in the area and this company seems to take advantage of that. I have also sent countless emails trying to dispute the charge, but got no response. I am thinking of taking legal action if I never get a reply.Business Response

Was informed for refunds that I must use a 3rd party they have contracted, the contracted 3rd party informed me the Folio Apartments - Greystar have to authorize this refund, after nearly 2 months, no phone calls have been returned nor an update on my $500 deposit. When going to the physical location of the apartment complex, I'm redirected to speak to their contracted 3rd party, in which they have not been given authorization to process a refund as they are waiting on the accounting team at the Folio apartments - greystar.Business Response

I was a tenant in Apartment 2712 of Avana Lexington Apartments in Nashville, Tennessee. I was living there since February of this year, 2025. I had noticed water damage on my ceiling and black mold both on my ceiling and my wall by the patio door. I sent in a maintenance request on July 3, 2025. I had received an email saying the request was acknowledged. Days had gone by and I heard nothing from anyone, so I decided to go in person to the leasing office where I spoke with a leasing agent at approx. 10 am, July 7, 2025. She told me she would have someone come out and look. 1 exact week went by, and I had still not received any acknowledgment that anyone had STEPPED FOOT in my apartment. I was symptomatic from the mold. As per Tennessee state law, they had 2 weeks to fix the issue, or I could break my lease and leave. They fixed it at exactly 15 days, over the legal limit. So, I have since moved out, and now I am owed my security deposit back, which they have not given me. It has been more than 30 days which is the legal limit for them to have given me the money.Business Response

Complex waived fees and I was ready to move in but wasn’t able to because of issues on their end. Pushed back the date because it was bug infested and said they needed to fix cigarette smoke smell. I made the woman aware that if that’s why it’s getting postponed I didn’t care to stay somewhere dealing with those issues and updated her on my decision. Just recently found out there was a collection account on my rental record.Business Response

I was a tenant at Vert Los Angeles (a Greystar property). My lease ended on August 14, 2025. Beginning on June 27, 2025, I repeatedly emailed management asking whether I could extend month-to-month or needed to vacate. Despite multiple follow-ups, I received no meaningful response until August 21–22, after my lease had already expired.
Because management failed to respond, I was prevented from giving proper 30-day notice before lease end. My notice should therefore be considered effective August 14 ? September 13, 2025. Instead, I was:
• Charged $2,550 for August when my contracted rent was $2,340 (an improper $210 fee).
• Billed through September 21 instead of September 13, an 8-day overcharge ($624).
• Given incorrect bills that ignored credits, making my account show overdue when it was not.
I acted in good faith with multiple emails prior to lease end, but was ignored until it was too late.
Total overcharge = $834. I acted in good faith, but management’s failure to respond caused this issue.
• Refund or credit the $210 improper August fee.
• Correct September rent to $1,014 (Sept 1–13 only) instead of $1,638.
• Confirm my 30-day notice effective Aug 14 – Sept 13, 2025.
• Ensure my security deposit is not reduced by unlawful charges.Business Response

Ive been a Greystar corporate lease holder for a few years now & have never had issues w/ any of the mngt or community until Tens of West. I never put any of my corp leases under my name just business name. Prior to signing the lease i have asked multiple occasions if corporate leasing was accepted at their location( Tens on West) I was advised yes, and I would be there first corporate lease applicant/holder per John. I always call any community I'm interested in to confirm if corporate leasing is available. I don't break rules & I abide by the community guidelines as I try to keep a positive relationship with all my communities. Once I was informed corporate leasing was allowed I scheduled a tour with John on 6/21 at 3pm to see available units. I was provided approve Shield guidelines after the tour was completed and informed I will need to apply online and pay a admin and application fee. I have never used approveshield as this is something new Atlanta was starting.i submitted my payment and applied but did not meet approve Shiel income guidelines of have $107,000 in a bank account. from my past with Greystar I have never had to have this amount or use approval shield. I reached to Tens on West and spoke with another leasing agent Ania she is very kind and was informed I can apply under my name. I was against it but went ahead as I was informed I can apply for corporate under my personal name. after a few days I was informed I was approved conditionally with a larger deposit and a prorated rent. again under the assumption of being approved as a corporate I paid all fees and moved in. I submitted a maintenance request for the fridge and they snapped a photo of my rules & stated I violated the terms no STR or Airbnb allowed. I was finned but it was waived. my issue today is this was a bad and big communication on Tens. im now being charged 1 month and concession of 2 moth once I terminate my lease. I am beyond pissed as this was approved as a corporate lease.Business Response
