  I am a resident living in **************** ******* ****. Saturday march 16th 2024 the office of ******** had a 3rd party company come out and do repairs on the water and sewage lines and now the lines are backing up into people's mobile homes. The office says it's not their responsibility to fix the problem the 3rd party company is to fix said problem but when contacting the 3rd party company they are saying the water and sewage lines are in such bad shape that they themselves don't know what to do and are awaiting for there bosses to arrive on scene to figure out what to do from there. When calling westwood estates mobile home main office they say do not call here we have nothing to do with this.

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We can understand Mr. ****** frustrations and sincerely apologize. A third-party company was hired in March to do necessary upgrades and repairs to the communitys sewer. During this time, we alerted several residents that would be impacted by this work, advising them they would need to limit the use of their sewer intake and not to use it in a normal day-to-day capacity or it could back up like Mr. ****** stated. If this happened, our third-party contractor would halt work and do ******************* to ensure the home sewer lines remained functioning in the limited capacity we stated above.  The third-party company also extended offers to pay for our residents to stay in a hotel during the duration of the repairs. As of Friday, March 29th the sewer work has been completed and can be used as normal. If Mr. ****** needs further assistance, we encourage them to contact us at *************************************************,as were more than happy to help and answer any questions.

  I was victim to identy theft the beginning of November and have been trying to fix the situation. Due to problems with my bank the complex I live in charged me a late fee on my rent. I spoke to the office in my complex and explained what happened and they said they would have it removed since I have lived her for about 20 years and never had any problems or issues. When I got my December billing there was a late fee added so I spoke to my community office again they said corporate refused to remove it. I have tried to call corporate customer service 3 times but no one will contact me about the situation. Also since Havenpark communities bought my complex they have raised our rent several times and now they are raising it again in January another $60. The largest amount yet. Since ********* and club house are closed constantly its not worth it.

  Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We can understand our residents frustration and sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding regarding their billing statements. We were able to speak with November ****** regarding this complaint and we had a good conversation. Weve processed a credit for the late fee as a one-time courtesy and advised that in the future this would be their financial institutions responsibility as this was a result of fraud on their account with them.
  
  Regarding the upcoming rent increase, inflation nationwide is at a 40-year high. This inflation has added significant cost to our operations. We continuously review our cost of doing business and have determined that a reasonable and fair rate adjustment is in order. Our promise is to provide our residents with quality service and an attractive community that they are proud to call home. If they have any questions or concerns, they may contact us at *************************************************.

  My aunt decided to move and sell her home in June of 2023. She tried selling it to numerous people, all of which got denied for various reasons. We decided to just keep the home and she would add me as an additional occupant. Ever since she's tried moving, we've been dealing with constant harassment. I have a work truck. I have cameras all around this home for our safety, and the girl with the **** plates in the equinox decided to tow my truck because it was "in the handicap spot" (OUR HANDICAP SPOT specifically). I pulled the camera footage. It was never in the handicap spot. In fact, we now have a ****** parked exactly where that truck was, and its been there for at least a month now. No complaints of it being in a handicap spot. When we tried to dispute respectfully, we received a toxic verbal " the car has to be in the middle of the handicap sign". There are two issues with that. First being, it says no where in the rules where compared to the handicap sign the car has to be (the truck was not in front of the handicap sign).. Second being, if the handicap vehicle (ours) was to be parked in the middle like the woman stated, it would not be properly accessible. We constantly receive notices (sometimes they say they sent notice and didnt, or send notice dated days prior but only drop off later.. ex: notice dates 07/21, camera picked up that notice was dropped off 07/28) about our lawn. I take plenty of pics as well as the camera to show the lawn state but we magically always get complaints about it. We receive notices about late rent with no letters, we receive random charges on rent statements when we do get them on time, Ive tried calling and emailing nearly everyday for months, even calling corporate multiple times and no one seems to communicate. Everyone on my street has the same issues or worse than me. Its becoming a problem severely

  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have been in contact with ******************* regarding this complaint and at the end of the conversation she advised she had no further questions, we discussed her billing and account concerns. As ******************* is not on the lease and is an unapproved occupant of this home, we are limited on the information we can provide to her. The work truck she mentioned was parked in a handicapped spot but was not marked to be a handicapped vehicle. This is why it was towed. The ****** that ******************* mentioned being in the handicapped space has not been towed because it has a handicapped marker on it.

   

  Regarding notices, we deliver those the same day they are written unless circumstances prevent us, in those instances we deliver the next day. We have sent rule reminder notices to this residence, addressed to the lease holder, regarding their lawn being unkempt. The most recent one was delivered August 3^rd, 2023. We ended up mowing the lawn for the residence on August 8^th, 2023. We have sent five notices regarding payment to the lease holder we have on file, each notice has stated the amount due. We have communicated with ******************* on how to fill out an application to be approved to live in the community. We look forward to assisting her in this process and if she has any questions or concerns, wed love to hear from her. She may contact us at residentexperience@havenparkmgmt.com.

  Rented in **************** from April 2022 to April 2023. Among MANY issues while living there for a year, i ran as fast as i could to get out of this park. The problems were endless since day one, mushrooms (twice) in a brand new model, doors wouldn't lock for first 4 months, no staff, threats, dogs running loose everywhere, no snowplowing, the list goes on and on. I have been trying to get my security deposit back since March 2023. At least 12 phone calls and no responses or I am sent to maintained ***** NOOOO communication!! I was advised more than a month ago, my refund was 100% returned (as it should be as I video taped EVERYTHING the day I handed in my key in anticipation of issues). I was told by Company they sent my refund to the wrong address. I confirmed correct address and have not heard a word since. Still cannot reach ANYONE on corp offices, and I was told numerous time there is no way to contact them other than email or letter. I have threatened my attorney and still nothing. I can see by reading this BBB page that I am not the only one as there are tons of complaints for this company on here with similar issues. Shame. Still waiting on my refund!!!!!!!

  Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention regarding Mrs. ***** security deposit. ************* submitted her notice to vacate in March 2023, which included a forwarding address. We processed and mailed the security deposit after she moved out in April. This was mailed to the address we were provided. It wasnt until ************* contacted us in June due to her not receiving the refund, that we were informed that an incorrect address was provided.We have made the necessary corrections and a replacement check is being issued.We have been in contact with ************* regarding the status of payment. If she has any questions or concerns, she may contact us at *************************************************.

  The response from Haven Park is absolutely incorrect. I started DOCUMENTING my phone calls and conversations 5/19/2023 when I talked to ****** in the maintenance department, (which is the number you have to go to get a hold of anybody from corporate, which is by then via email, the Csr would send corp office email for us because corporate offices do not have a phone number). I was even told that some phantom supervisor that this will get escalated. Her name is supposed to ********. I had to threaten a lawyer to get someone to call me back after leaving me a message about sending it to the wrong address. The same day I threatened an attorney, third week of June I received a call back finally from ***** in your corporate offices and I was told they had the wrong address and they would be sending me another check out it is July **************************************************** that company since! I have called COUNTLESS TIMES since.  any, and all communication has been executed by myself to this company, in attempts to get my refund back. I have only spoken to one person since the beginning of May regarding this and that was *****.  Other than that, it  was all maintenance **** sending emails on my behalf
  

  In short, there has been no communication from your company and there is no check for my refund.

  Thank you for this response. We can understand Mrs. ***** frustration with the delay in receiving her security deposit and we apologize for any miscommunication. ************* typed her notice to vacate which included her forwarding address and this was received by us on March 2nd,2023. Upon Mrs. ***** move out, we processed her security deposit and mailed this to the address provided. The check was mailed and delivered in April. We have documentation that one of our Area Managers spoke with ************* in June regarding her security deposit and that the address was incorrect. We voided the original check and mailed a replacement to our community office. We have since been in contact with ************* and she picked this up from our office.

  The park started to replace driveways last summer. We were told what we're not completed last summer would be complete in 2023. We are now being told that we will not be getting new driveways due to the budget. Yet they keep raising rents. I have had uncompleted repairs since I moved in. For example. Skirting installed incorrectly. They started the repairs and never came back to finish

  Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We can understand how frustrating this experience has been and we sincerely apologize. Our team has been in contact with ************************ regarding these issues and we have come to a mutual resolution. The cracking on the driveway was determined to be normal and will not need to be replaced. We have contacted a vendor to inspect the homes skirting and do repairs as needed. We take pride in our community and have completed several improvement projects in the past three years that have included but are not limited to the following: A new sport court, pavilion,playground, pet park, and road upgrades. If ************************ has any additional questions or concerns, he may contact us at [email protected] more than happy to help.

  I live next to the sewage treatment facility at a havenpark community. In 7 + years I have been here the smell has never been so bad to come into my home. I brought it to the assistant mangers attention his name is **** and he went to look at the sewage plant and told me that the company contracted to maintain it have neglected it and it is in need of a pipe. He told me he would handle it and that the smell in my home was unacceptable. I called the next day and **** failed to have brought it to anyone's attention and had no clue who the business was that was contracted to maintain it. I am scared for my health.

  I moved in to ****************************************** in ********, ** in Feb of 2021. I put in notice to vacate with the rental on March 6th 2023 with the move out date of April 12th. We also rented a storage unit for just a few months. We paid our full rent for April 2023 for both the unit and storage unit. There has been absolutely no contact from Havenpark as to when we will get our deposits from both the living and storage units plus the unused portion of April rent. We are now at 27 days since I moved out. Havenpark will not answer their phone thats listed as ************, it goes immediately to voicemail. *** left several messages that have not been returned. Ive sent them several emails through their portal which have not been answered. Ive only spoken with ***********************, who is the site manager for Cherry Creek. She states that, It has been submitted to Havenpark, but has no timeline for my refund. It does not take 27 days to write a check and mail it to my forwarding address that I left with ****** on the day I moved out. Havenpark owes my for my original deposit of $1100.00 (I left the unit in much better condition than what I found it when I moved in) plus the unused portion of April rent which Ive calculated to be $36.77 for the storage unit and $843.90 for the living unit and lot rent. Total $1980.67. I am asking that someone from Havenpark **************** call me immediately and stop with this nonsense.
