  I am filing this complaint due to Vert Apartments’ and Greystar’s ongoing failure to return my full $500 security deposit. I vacated the property at the end of October 2024. It is now July 25, 2025, and I have still not received the full amount owed to me, despite being told on multiple occasions that I would.
  
  Most recently, I was sent an email with a link to claim a partial refund of only $334.84 — with no explanation for the missing balance. Prior to this, communication from the property and management has been inconsistent, unprofessional, and grossly delayed. I have followed up multiple times via email and phone, only to receive no meaningful resolution. I left the unit in pristine condition and am entitled to the full refund.
  
  Under California Civil Code §1950.5, security deposits must be returned within 21 calendar days after move-out. I am well beyond that window, and this delay, coupled with the lack of transparency, points to negligence and poor business practices.
  
  I am seeking the immediate return of the balance of my $500 security deposit. I have done more than my due diligence and exhausted so many avenues of communication before resorting to BBB. If this matter is not resolved, I will pursue further action in small claims court.

  I recently completed my lease at Century Town in Doral, FL and left disappointed by both the quality of the living experience and the management’s unwillingness to show flexibility or accountability.
  
  I submitted my move-out notice 54 days in advance just six days short of the 60-day requirement and was charged a full additional month of rent as a penalty. While I understand policy, my unit was re-rented within a week, meaning the property suffered no financial loss. Still, management refused to waive or reduce the fee, citing "fairness" and rigid adherence to policy.
  
  This was especially frustrating after a year of living in conditions that fell far below the “luxury lifestyle” they advertise. The rent and fees are priced at a premium, but the value doesn’t match:
  
  The rooftop bar, juice bar, and EV charging stations were promoted before move-in, but never opened or installed.
  Monthly amenity fees were charged even though key amenities were unavailable for nearly a year.
  Elevators were frequently out of service, causing long delays and inconvenience, especially for residents on upper floors.
  Common areas had broken doors, stained carpets, and scuffed walls—not what you'd expect from a luxury building.
  A new front door security system was announced repeatedly but never implemented, despite requiring residents to make time for setup.
  The gym was only open during business hours, making it nearly unusable for full-time workers.
  Maintenance was inconsistent and not always courteous or responsive.
  I raised these issues respectfully, hoping for understanding given the circumstances. Instead, I received a generic, dismissive response.
  
  Century Town charges luxury prices but fails to deliver on basic commitments—and hides behind policy when it matters most.

  I currently live at zone westgate and paid full rent on July 1st. Two days later my AC went out for 7 days and I was neglected by Zone westgate management and the maintenance team who are associated with the greystar company . I am looking for compensation for rent last month due to unlivable living conditions. I am happy to provide proof of reaching out to management and the maintenance team numerous times without a response back. I do also have proof of the heat conditions I was forced to live in for those days. I had to purchase a $315 portable ac unit with my own money to be able to sleep in my own room comfortably. I would like to be compensated as this company has put my life in danger by forcing me to live in inhabitable conditions for a week.

  I was surprised to see how many people have issues with greystar so I guess my predicament isn’t uncommon.
  
  I visited a greystar property which looked awesome and I was excited to rent from them. My leasing agent did everything he could do to help me out, my issue is with their corporate office. Upon arriving at the property to move into my unit, my mover and I looked at the property and noticed paint on the floor with water damage underneath one of the sinks where we noticed mold growth. After being moved to a new unit we decided to check out the new unit as well to find around 50 flies in the toilet. I understand that the prior tenants might have messed up the property which is understandable. Since there wasn’t another unit I asked to cancel my lease to go somewhere else. Mind you my movers were charging me 230/hr to sit around for two hours and 45 minutes. I imagine maintenance didnt do their job properly, I want to make this clear my leasing agent is not at fault. Greystar corporate refused to let me out of my lease then I finally received notice I could break my lease. That cost me 632.50 all together in only moving costs and 200 dollars in application fees.
  Another issue I had is several years ago at a separate greystar managed property I had my storage unit robbed three weeks into moving in and had around 6000 dollars worth of stuff stolen and was simply told to ask my renters insurance to reimburse me.
  
  The customer service at their properties is outstanding. My issue is Greystar corporate simply does not care about doing the right thing and taking care of their tenants. They also don’t leave their leasing agents with any way to remedy their renters.
  If you rent from a greystar propery since they practically manage a ridiculous amount of properties across the US just know to do your due diligence and expect corporate not to assist you if anything unfortunate happens.

  Subject: Inaccurate Charges and Maintenance Negligence – Avana Court Apartments
  
  Complaint:
  
  I was a tenant at Avana Court Apartments in Duluth, GA, and my experience was extremely disappointing.
  
  Throughout my lease, I submitted multiple maintenance requests regarding electrical outlets, plumbing issues, a detached bathroom floor, AC leaks, mold, and pest problems. Most were ignored, delayed, or marked “completed” with no action. I have photo evidence and screenshots, and my experience aligns with dozens of similar public ****** reviews about the same issues.
  
  In January 2024, I personally notified the leasing office that I would not be renewing my lease. I also sent an email, as they requested, and they replied with a penalty for early termination. I vacated the apartment in January and stopped using their services.
  
  Now, a collection agency (Columbia Debt Recovery LLC dba Genesis) is attempting to charge me for rent from February to April 2024, even though I gave notice and left the unit. They are adding interest and fees, which feels like retaliation for leaving early. I feel this is unethical, and the amount they claim is incorrect.
  
  I respectfully request:
  
  That this debt collection be stopped and investigated.
  
  That the reported amount be reviewed and removed.
  
  That my credit not be harmed due to these inaccurate and unjustified charges.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  ***** ***** ****** *****

  My air conditioning system has been faulty and unreliable, and management has either failed to respond or delayed action far beyond a reasonable timeframe. Given the extreme heat in Las Vegas, this presents a clear violation of Nevada’s implied warranty of habitability, putting tenants’ health at risk.
  It is my understanding that landlords in Nevada are legally required to respond to essential repairs—such as air conditioning—within 48–72 hours. This has not occurred. 2. Retaliation and Harassment Following Complaints. After raising valid concerns regarding: The unsanitary and poorly maintained community pool, Unfulfilled service requests, Management’s refusal to sign important tenant documents,
  Lack of package security and loss of mail
  … I began receiving unwarranted warnings and threats of eviction for minor or non-existent infractions. I was ordered to remove curtains and a mesh railing cover from my balcony due to alleged “fire hazards.” These coverings:
  -Had been in place for over a year without prior objection
  -Are in use by numerous other tenants who have not received similar notices
  -Are non-combustible, not obstructing exits, and pose no confirmed fire hazard
  
  I reviewed my lease agreement, specifically Section VII – Fire Hazards, and found no mention of railing mesh or decorative window coverings being prohibited. Furthermore, management has not provided any fire code citation or policy documentation to support these demands, despite my written requests.
  This selective enforcement appears to be directly tied to my prior complaints, suggesting retaliatory intent. I believe this may constitute a violation of Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 118A.510, which prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who exercise their legal rights.

  I recently moved out of Bowers Residences, owned by Greystar. I followed all move-out procedures listed in the lease agreement adequately, including cleaning as listed in the lease. I took a video of the cleaned unit right before turning in my keys, but a few days later, I received an emailed document of my move-out statement showing that I was being charged a $115 cleaning fee, with no details as to why I was receiving the cleaning fee. I reached out to the community manager, Alyssa B****, many times following that email, with disregarding responses and no resolution provided. Alyssa claimed that each unit requires a professional cleaning service, but did not point out where that statement was in the lease agreement. The lease agreement says "Cleaning: You must thoroughly clean the apartment, including doors, windows, furniture, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, patios, balconies, garages, carports, and storage rooms. You must follow move-out cleaning instructions if they have been provided. If you don't clean adequately, you'll be liable for reasonable cleaning charges." (page 6, item 47) At this point, Alyssa has not provided contact information for who I can reach out to in order to contest the fee, and Bowers Residences has sent me a payment for my refunded deposit that still charges me the cleaning fee. I don't know who to contact to contest this charge.

  My wife and I are in the military so we moved from South Carolina to Mississippi recently. The townhome we moved out of (Villas of Carolina Forest) has been incredibly hard to get in touch with even before we moved. We were told that after 30 days we would get our security deposit back. It’s been almost 2 months and we can’t get in contact with anyone in the leasing office. I called last week and got thru surprisingly, the leasing officer told me her manager wasn’t in and that she would get her manager to call me back. That was last Monday and I haven’t heard from anyone since. I’ve called multiple times since then and have not gotten a call back. This company has been extremely difficult to deal with and on multiple occasions has “dodged” my wife and I’s phone calls. I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do. We need help asap.
