I recently moved out of the Whitewater Park Apartments (255 N Whitewater Park Blvd Unit **** Boise ID 83702) owned under Greystar Property Management. Upon receiving final billing I am being charged with cleaning costs. The unit was left empty of any belongings and cleaned beyond a reasonable expectation. They have not provided any proof that the unit was excessively unclean, or damaged, that would require more than standard turnover procedures. Cleaning is not allowed to be taken from a tenant deposit unless it is excessive. The office is unresponsive when I call and emails can take close to a week at times for communication. I will not be charged for a turnover cost. The unit was left in a condition that would have been considered clean to a reasonable expectation.

I applied to potentially rent an apartment here back in June. After not hearing back for over a week with no update, I finally received information that I was denied due to income even though I made well over 3x the rent.I had to call several times to get this information that it was denied. The manager said she would look into it, but another several days went by with no update. Finally, I gave up waiting for answers and just decided to apply somewhere else. They let me know the administrative fee of $250 would be refunded promptly. After about a week I called the office when I still hadn't received the refund. The leasing agent said he would talk to the manager about it. I never received a call back. I called everyday and got the same response "manager isn't in the office, but i'll check on it". Finally, I got the managers email and sent her an email myself. She said it can take 30 days to refund the fee, but to check in with her after 15 business days for an update. I waited 15 business days-- no refund, no update. Now at 30 calendar days, I've emailed 4 times over the past week and have been completely ignored. I finally got ahold of the assistant manager yesterday (because the current manager is on maternity leave) and he is Now telling me to wait a FULL 40 days!

I reported a ceiling leak at Elan Research Park Apartments (managed by Greystar) on July 11. Repairs were delayed without clear communication that they were delayed, and when drywall was patched on July 25, it was done incorrectly. Management had to send someone out again the following day because the repair was not done correctly. No mold inspection was done despite visible moisture damage that was present for 2 weeks.

Although I was able to remain in the unit, I was extremely uncomfortable living and working from home with my 5-year-old child during this ongoing issue. Management failed to communicate properly through the entire process, never offered compensation for the inconvenience, and only informed me of the $3,990 lease termination fee due date one day after it was already due. Which I sent my notice on 7/18 and had to send another follow up 7/24, then finally received confirmation 7/25.

I ultimately decided to end my lease early because of how poorly this all was handled. Management is now demanding the termination fee, yet they also refuse to compensate me for August rent, despite the fact that I was planning to move out prior to the month being over. I do not feel comfortable living under this management and the living conditions of this community.

This charge is unfair given their failure to properly repair the unit, lack of communication, and refusal to acknowledge the significant inconvenience and discomfort I experienced.

Resolution Requested:
I want the $3,990 charge removed, compensation for the unused portion of August rent, and written confirmation they will not report me to collections or credit bureaus.

Estoy siendo cobrada por varios meses de renta (febrero, marzo y abril de 2024), a pesar de haber informado personalmente en la oficina de arrendamiento que no renovaría el contrato. Presenté múltiples solicitudes de mantenimiento que nunca fueron atendidas, lo cual tengo documentado. Además, la experiencia general con Avana Court fue negativa, como puede comprobarse con muchas otras opiniones públicas en ****** ****. Me siento injustamente tratada y ahora mi caso ha sido enviado a una agencia de cobranza.

I am writing to formally address an ongoing and unresolved issue concerning an erroneous application fee charge related to our application at Ilumnia on Raiders Way last year. At the time, Aaron Z****** assisted us with the leasing process, and either Teresa or Beatriz was the acting property manager.

Due to a system transition, we were required to submit a paper application. We were explicitly assured that all associated fees would be waived as long as the application was submitted that same day—which we complied with in full.

In March of this year, we were unexpectedly contacted by Jeff A*****, who stated that we owed $420 for an application fee. We were surprised and concerned by this, as the fee was clearly waived at the time of application. Additionally, Jeff's approach was unprofessional and lacking in due diligence, as he made these claims without fully investigating the history of our case.

Since then, we have spoken with the property manager on two separate occasions, and on both, we were assured that the issue was being taken care of. However, we continue to be contacted regarding this matter, which constitutes harassment and is both unjust and unacceptable.

We respectfully request the following:

Immediate removal of the $420 charge from our record.

Written confirmation that this issue is fully resolved and will not affect our credit or rental history in any way.

A formal written apology from both Jeff A***** and Ilumnia Management for the repeated mishandling of this situation and the unprofessional behavior we have encountered.

I paid a $500 deposit for an apartment. The application was later canceled by the company, and I did not receive the apartment or any service. Their policy says the deposit is refundable if the application is denied. I have requested a refund, and they refused. I am disputing this as a service not provided.

Greystar is attempting to charge me $2,458.73 in fraudulent and double charges on rent and utilities, as well as charging rent for time periods in which I did not live in their building. Additionally, they are attempting to charge me $350 in damages that existed prior to my original move in of September of 2021. I have photographic proof of the pre-existing damage and the apartment complex was provided with a signed copy of their own "Inventory and Condition Form" on 09/24/2021 detailing the preexisting damage. I have left multiple voice messages and emails and have yet to hear back from Greystar regarding their predatory and fraudulent practices.

On July 27 around 5 PM, my vehicle (blue Honda Pilot, license plate *******) was towed from the exterior lot at Star Harbor Apartments in Alameda, CA. I am a paying resident with an assigned parking space (#***), and my valid parking tag was clearly displayed on the vehicle at the time of towing.

When I attempted to access the garage, my keycard was not reading, and I was unable to enter to park in my assigned spot. Due to an urgent matter I needed to attend to, I temporarily parked in an unmarked space in the exterior lot.

Despite being a verified resident with visible proof of parking authorization, my vehicle was towed by ******** **** ******** (San Leandro, CA). I was charged:
• $225 tow fee
• $100 storage fee (despite retrieving the vehicle later that same evening)
• $112 gate fee

I am seeking a reimbursement of the $437 total, either directly or through a rent credit from the property, considering that:
• I am a valid resident with a paid, assigned parking space
• The garage access issue was out of my control
• The parking was non-obstructive and temporary
• My parking permit was visible at the time of towing

I respectfully ask for a fair resolution to this matter.

I tried, numerous times, to contact the leasing office via phone calls to inquire about the lease ending. No one ever called back. I started in May and now its the end of July and they are telling me that I never filled out a notice to vacate form. They said they emailed me but I never received an email. If they had just responded to my several phone calls, this would be a non issue. Now they are telling me that I owe double the amount of rent for one month which is $4,000!! I reached out to their corporate office but you just get a bot telling you their "sorry" for the inconvenience! Terrible management!! Not to mention we were promised that the pool would be available once we moved in and it never was the entire time we were there! That was one of the reasons to rent at SALT in Tempe.
