  Complaint: 23610148
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Multiple efforts were made to contact Maple **************** regarding the security deposit return. Below is a recounting of all contact which happened well before July 2025. Since we live in a foreign country and anticipated delays in receiving the check due to mail services, we anticipated a wait before receiving the check, hence the delays between contact. 

  Each time the main office was contacted, **** ***** answered and was dismissive of the issue. It should not be the burden of past tenants to contact the real estate company for a returned security deposit nor should they be ignored or dismissed when doing so. The company should take full responsibility for this and recognize the time spent continuing to contact them. 

  - Email December 10, 2024

  - Phone Call to *** ******* January, 2025

  - Phone Call to Main Line January, 2025

  - Phone Call to *** ******* March 2025

  - Phone Call to Main Line March 31 2025: this was followed up by email directly from **** ***** (Maple Leaf main office) to *** ******* (property manager)

  - Email March 31, 2025

  
  Sincerely,
  
  ****** *****

  Thank you for reaching out and giving us the chance to explain.

  
  The move out was on August 31, 2024. We completed the security deposit accounting on September 19, 2024, holding back $200 to cover the final ************************ (SPU) bill. That bill was delayed and didnt arrive until December 2024. Because of a missing tag in our system, we mistakenly thought everything had already been taken care of. As a result, the remaining deposit wasnt refunded at that time.

  We also didnt realize about the follow-up, and we only became aware of the issue when a call came through to our main line in July 2025. We looked into it right away and processed the final refund of $127.90 on July 17, 2025.

  
  Were very sorry for the delay and for not catching this sooner. We are reviewing our process to make sure this doesnt happen again.
  We appreciate your patience and understanding.

  Maple Leaf property management does not communicate with tenants in a timely manner when repairs need to be made. Many requests over the years have been promised and never fulfilled, and they often state they will do something only to cancel your request with no communication as to why. On 6/29/25 I reported two urgent repairs below: 1. Driveway sink hole covering drainage ditch, creating a safety and flood issue, damage to property, etc. A general contractor name and the property manager, Coco, came to the house the next day and told my son repairs would be made as I was unable to be present. they cancelled the request with no plan to initiate repairs within ***** hours. Yes, they visited within that time frame but appear to be refusing repairs, which is a code violation and will need to be reported to the city. Neighbors are harassing me as their houses are also at risk due to this issue. The sink hole was maple leaf/owners mistake to begin with as that part of the driveway is gravel. Last winter a storm washed away the gravel revealing plywood underneath and we were unaware any hole was there at that time but we noted in writing that plywood is not adequate to cover a storm drain but all that was done was they poured more gravel down. We have had to repeat this process ourselves. On 6/29 as we backed out of the driveway we felt the car sinking and found that the plywood (duh!) was rotten and a dangerous sink hole had formed. Pics and videos were provided. We found an old piece of plywood they left on the side of our house for interim safety and warned neighbors to be careful. No one has returned calls or emails.Same day, we entered a back building (think big shed/tiny house) used as home gym. Found leaves and dead bugs everywhere and damage to our gym. Most of it was directly under skylights. Appt was made to fix, I waited, no one came and now the request has been cancelled and no plan to assess for any water damage inside, clean, fix, reimburse

  Dear ******,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We sincerely regret that your experience with Maple Leaf Property Management has caused you distress, particularly given your current health situation. We recognize how important timely communication and responsive maintenance are, especially when urgent issues arise, and we take your feedback seriously.
  
  Upon receiving your maintenance requests on June 29, 2025, our property manager conducted a site visit with a licensed general contractor the very next day (June 30) to assess the reported issues in both the main house and the backyard structure used as a gym. Following that visit, the requests were separated and routed to the appropriate vendors to begin the work, as two different specialties were required.
  
  We want to clarify that none of your requests were cancelled without cause or intent to follow through. They were separated in our work order system and reassigned appropriately based on vendor specialization. As of July 2, two active work orders are in progress to address both the driveway drainage/sinkhole and the shed/gym repairs. Our team is committed to completing these within the 10-day timeframe outlined by Washington landlord-tenant law.
  
  Here is a detailed breakdown of work currently scheduled and in motion:
  
  Driveway & Exterior:
  

  Urgent repair of driveway at drainage ditch (Owner responsibility)
  Repair/replace floodlights
  Repaint garage door frame
  Replace front door handle
  Refill small area above front door frame
  Clean front porch light fixture (Tenant responsibility)
  Replace missing fence boards
  Remove invasive plants from perimeter
  
  Backyard Shed / Gym:
  
  Reseal skylight(s) and inspect for further issues
  Clean and vacuum debris and plant growth
  Seal gaps between baseboards and walls
  Install interior door sweep
  Remove rusted outdoor fireplace
  

  In addition, you brought in *** (************************) to assess the drainage issue and shared that they found no damage to the city's pipes. We appreciate your efforts in obtaining that information. It confirmed that the repair falls under owner responsibility, and we are actively coordinating with our handyman to complete the required work, including backfilling and reinforcing the culvert area with appropriate materials.

  
  We understand that communication could have been clearer and more consistent during this process. For that, we sincerely apologize. We also acknowledge your request for advance notice before entering the property, and we have made sure your adult sons are now listed as the point of contact for any scheduled vendor visits during your absence.
  
  Finally, we are grateful that you took the time, despite very difficult circumstances, to outline the situation and help us better understand your expectations. Our goal remains to complete these repairs professionally, legally, and respectfully. We hope to restore your confidence in our team through timely action and improved communication moving forward.
  
  If you would like to discuss this further, we are happy to do so directly.

  Complaint: 22059588
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  I appreciate the acknowledgement regarding the negligent management of our broken fence, however, Maple Leaf Property has not addressed the primary issue of the repairs not being conducted in a timely manner; when I submitted my complaint I provided pictures and timeline to support my grievance.  They have not taken responsibility for the mismanagement nor supplied any documentation that supports their denial of accountability. 

   The repeated property management delays caused an increased financial burden on us as the owners of the house.  This is why I am asking for reimbursement of the management fees I incurred during the time from February through the termination of our agreement. 

  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******************

  cerning any matter related to the management or leasing of our house (including the needed repairs) but refer all such dealing to the *** These contractual agreements resulted in our inability to take action; we could not personally have access to the house to assess damage nor coordinate vendors for estimates or repairs. These repairs are still pending and we are incurring financial loss and are unable to get a new tenant in due to their negligence. In addition, we did a walk-through after we received the post move-out inspection report and we noted our fence was damaged in two places. When I notified MLPM that this had occurred, they said it was not noted by the move-out inspector so it must have occurred after the tenant move-out and inspection. I reviewed the pictures of the inspection and the fence damage was clear in the photos. This damage has obviously been there for some time and we were not notified of damage to our fence.

  To whom it may concern:

  As mentioned in the complaint, the client encountered issues with two items.

  First, the issue of reconstruction due to a water leak. The owner is correct that, per our property management contract with the owner, the owner cant access or negotiate with the tenant directly.  The owner can, however, view the home and damage with the property manager. Our property manager must abide by all the Washington State Landlord Tenants laws when dealing with the tenant, such as giving notice to vendors to enter the home and always ensuring legal compliance.
  When it comes to obtaining vendors, owners often make recommendations.  In this case, the owner did not offer any vendors.  The property manager obtained bids from several vendors and shared the bids with the owner and the timelines. One of the vendors was the same insurance-recommended vendor that had done the remediation, and the other was a general contractor. Despite several attempts to ask the owner to select and approve a bid, the owner stopped responding to our property manager. We did not approve the bid since the owner submitted the claim through insurance, and ultimately, the owner needed to give us direction on how the work would proceed.   If one of our vendor's bids had been approved, the work would have been completed promptly.   We want to emphasize that we made every effort to involve the owner in the process, and we do not feel we contributed to the owner's financial loss due to a vacancy.  Also, the owner terminated our contract on July 1, 2024, twelve days before the current tenant moved out, so we no longer have access to the home to market.

  As for the fence, this is not tenant damage. The separation of the panel is due to the advanced age of the fence and the wood separating from the hardware as the wood dries out/rots, so we could not have charged the tenant.  However, we missed this on the Move-Out Inspection report. We understand the owner's concern and frustration and assure you we take her feelings seriously. As a goodwill gesture, Maple Leaf will compensate the owner for replacing the panel.  A 6 x 8-foot fencing panel at ********** is $129.00, and it would take about two hours of labor to install.  We will forward $400 to the client for the cost of the panel and installation.  She can also choose to have it fixed with the funds.
  
  We sincerely regret any misunderstandings and inconveniences caused and trust this resolution will effectively address the issue.

  Regarding the complaint from ************* concerning her property at **********************, we acknowledge her grievances. However, we do not believe that the owner will be open to any settlement regarding the management of her home. We apologize for any miscommunication that may have occurred, but we also wish to avoid escalating this situation further.

  
  There was extensive correspondence between the property managers and our office manager during this time, and revisiting these events would be time-consuming and distressing. As a gesture of goodwill, we are willing to offer a $1300 settlement to the owner. However, we maintain that we did not neglect our duties in managing her home and believe we exceeded the responsibilities outlined in our property management agreement.

  
  To demonstrate the scope of Maple Leaf Property Management's duties and the additional work performed, we have compiled a detailed timeline of events and supplemental documentation. We value our relationship with our property owners and are dedicated to addressing concerns promptly and effectively. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach a mutual agreement on the events surrounding the property's reconstruction.
  

  We acknowledge that we were not a good fit for ************* and we wish her well .

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that although their timeline is missing crucial acts of prevarication that were conducted via text they do acknowledge the poor management of their contracted PM and this resolution is satisfactory to me.
  
  Sincerely,

  Our lease started December 1, 2022. When we moved in the home was not in the condition we expected a rental to be as well as was lied to that it would be in working order. Though our lease started on December 1st, we didn't move in until December 11th as we relocated from *********** and that was when we arrived. Upon moving in we found many lights not working, electrical outlets not working, doors missing from the hinges, a hole in a closet door, Ring system in owners name for weeks, owners TV still on the wall, roof deck in horrible condition. Once we were moved in we learned that the heat also did not work. We contacted the leasing company about all these above issues. It took them over 6 weeks to get the house to the move-in condition we expected as well as the heat to work which still has issues. The heat was only properly fixed to the standard of ******* once I reported the house to the ******* ********** of Inspections. An inspector came out here and ordered the owners and management company to fix the heat properly and immediately. Since the heat has been fixed it has broken again on more than one occasion. They also only were able to fix the heat by getting permission from the city to raise the temp of the water heater over 60 degrees which I believe we are now paying a lot more money for because of this increase which should not be our problem but that of the owner. The heat does not heat the whole house evenly. We can only heat one floor at a time but not all 3 floors which we were never told in the lease or prior to moving in. In fact the leasing agent repeatedly told us they had this amazing new heating system which according to the inspector is not that great at all. Once the heat was all fixed as well as all the other issues we were finally able to unpack 2 months in and really set up our home and get ready for our baby which arrived on 2/27. We had over 100 boxes piled high in our 2 car garage and had our car on the street while we were cleaning out the garage so that we could then put our *** into the garage as I didn't feel safe with it on the street. Finally we get all cleared out to learn that we couldn't park it in the garage as the driveway was too narrow and required 20 minutes to get it and another 30 minutes to get it out. This is a 2 car garage and cannot get one car in let alone 2 cars and now our car is parked on the street. I was very excited to be able to also use it for the convenience of having a family but now that too has become a pain. I contacted the city and they sent an inspector here who said the driveway had to be at least 10 feet wide but was under 9 feet. The city said that unfortunately somehow they passed their inspection and didn't really care that we can't use our driveway or garage. This morning, March 20th, my wife woke up to go into the nursery that we spent a lot of time and money setting up to feed and change our baby girl to see that it was raining in the room. I immediately called the leasing company as they claim on their website they have a 24/************ to learn that was not true. As we were very concerned for our safety I called 911 and the fire department was dispatched to our home at 4am. They said that the house was not going to collapse but that there was definitely damage, visual flashing on the side of the house and that most likely sheetrock to be replaced. When I finally got someone to call us back from the leasing company they didn't send a professional but a handyman just as they have with other problems. The guy who came said the same thing as well as pointed out that it seems there has been damage before that the owners may have just painted over to get the home rented. The handyman ended up just trying to but a silicone sealing to temporarily halt the leakage until they get a professional to come out. Now the room smells of chemicals, the bookcase has water damage, the carpet is damaged and now there are fans blowing in there and we are out of a nursery for our baby. There is visual damage to the walls, carpet, window and outside of the home.

  Maple Leaf Property Management values positive relationships with owners and tenants as the underpinning for a successful tenancy. Maintenance issues can present themselves at any property at any time. Both owners and tenants need to have realistic expectations about the timing of repairs. We make all possible efforts to address repairs in a reasonable and legal time frame, guided by the **************** and ******* Landlord Tenant Laws outlined in RCW 59.18.070. This information is included as part of the Lease Agreement (on page 40 of the lease that tenants signed) and we have listed below.
  Regarding timing for repairs, please note that the time limits listed below reflect the time a property manager must assess and initiate a repair. The repair does not need to be completed within the allotted time.
  
  24 hours: No hot or cold water, heat, or electricity, or imminently hazardous to life (to start repair)
  48 hours: No use of refrigerator, range and oven, or major plumbing fixture (to start repair)
  10 days: Everything else (to start repair)
  
  The tenants moved into the rental property on December 10, 2022 expecting everything to be perfect. Their expectation is that, when they call [any number] at any time, someone will respond immediately to their request. They have called the ************************************************** at least three times during the three months of their tenancy to demand inspections for various issues. The *************** has not found any violations or issued any citations.
  The *************** has also recently acknowledged that the property has passed the **** inspection (************************************* and ********** Ordinance). The property passed in February 2023 with no violations.

  
  There are four main concerns that the tenants have listed in their BBB complaint, which we will address individually.

  
  1.) Condition of Property Upon Move-In and Timing
  2.) Heat not Properly Working and Timing
  3.) Width of Driveway
  4.) Water Leak and Response Time
  
  Condition of Property Upon Move-In and Timing
  Maple Leaf Property Management (Maple Leaf) was aware of a few minor maintenance items at the home. We determined these issues to be minor and not impactful to the habitability of the property, and, thus, decided to wait for the tenants to move in before deploying a vendor to address the issues. This is our standard policy to avoid sending out vendors more often than necessary. Tenants have seven days after occupancy to update the move in condition report and/or request items to be fixed.  On the morning of the tenants move in day, (December 11, 2022), the tenants made Maple Leaf aware of a multitude of minor maintenance issues for which they demanded immediate action. Many of these items had been noted on the move in condition report document that they previously had signed on 12/04/22. Further, some of the items about which the tenants contacted Maple Leaf actually had been addressed prior to the move in day.  For example, the tenants called the owner of Maple Leaf at move-in because they were livid that a ** was still on the wall.However, the ** was not in fact on the wall as it had been removed prior to the tenants arrival at the home. A property manager and a general contractor immediately went to the home to meet the Tenants on December 11th to address items for which the tenants were upset. The items that the tenants demanded to be fixed immediately in this complaint included:
  
  Bulbs burned out.
  2 electrical outlets not working (GFCI tripped)
  One closet door needed to be put back on hinges.
  Small hole in the closet door (could not be repaired without replacing the door; cosmetic only)
  Ring System had not been transferred out of the owners name (landlord has no legal obligation to transfer security systems over to tenants)
  Owners ** still on the wall (tenants acknowledged on page 142 of their Move-In-Condition report, signed 12/04/22, that the ** would be removed before they physically moved into the property. ** was removed 12/09/22, two days before the tenants moved into the property)
  Roof deck in horrible condition (needed pressure washing)
  
  All items listed above were corrected by 12.15.2022 (except for the cosmetic issue with the closet door), which was four days after move-in.
  
  Heat not Properly Working and Timing

  12/11/22 Tenants reported there is no heat in the house. Property manager and contractors had not noticed that the home was cold when they were in the home on this date or on multiple other occasions. The property manager dropped off space heaters the same day and offered additional space heaters to give tenants more heat. The tenants declined.

  12/11/22 Property manager created a work order for service from Fox Plumbing. The earliest they could schedule was 12/14/22.
  12/14/22 Fox Plumbing stated that: No fan in 5 radiators. Heat is working. Removed thermostatic switches from 3 upstairs and 2 on north wall living area. Now fans work but need to be switched manually. Told tenant had to work manually until replacement parts arrive. Replacement thermostatic switches to be ordered.
  12/16/22 Property Manager took additional space heaters to tenants until replacement thermostats arrived. The Property Manager observed that the heat was working adequately during the property visit on this date.
  12/19/22 Fox Plumbing appointment, from invoice: Replaced pumps and check valves. Flushed and purged. Cleaned water inlet filter to tankless. Provided and installed new thermostatic switches on upstairs fan/radiators. Provided and installed new heater in upstairs bathroom. Turned system temperature up to 160F and tested thermostatic mixing valve to find it working at 120F to faucets. Tested and set pump timers. The system is working better than ever. One replacement part was still on backorder. Fox Plumbing was scheduled to return on 12/28/22.
  12/22/22 The tenants reported to Maple Leaf that the heat was still not fixed.
  12/23/22 The tenants filed a report with the *************** ********** and ************ for no heat.
  12/28/22 ************ fixed the final sensor at the property. The *************** inspector also was at the property performing an inspection on the same day. The *************** inspector determined there was adequate heat. Maple Leaf had acted appropriately, no citation was issued.  The city has closed this complaint.
  
  Width of Driveway
  The home is of newer construction with another home directly behind it. The two homes share the driveway. On November 9, 2022, the tenants physically inspected the rental property before they applied for tenancy, and they viewed the space around the garage, including the garages proximity to the other home.
  02/22/23 Tenants notified Maple Leaf that they had filed a report with the *************** ********** of ********** and ************ regarding the driveway because of difficulty parking two cars in the garage.
  Upon inspection, the city did not issue a citation to the property owner nor to Maple Leaf.  Inspectors report noted that the construction of the home was completed approximately 10 years before pursuant to a construction permit issued by the city. The city has closed this complaint.
  
  Water Leak and Response Time.
  3/20/23 Tenants notified Maple Leaf that water was leaking through a bedroom window. Tenants called the main office number for Maple Leaf at 3:38 AM stating that no one answered the 24/7 maintenance line; however, there is no record of any call from these tenants to the 24/7 call center. The office manager picked up the voice message from the main number and called tenants back at 3:52 AM. The office manager informed tenants that Maple Leaf would have someone over in the morning.
  3/20/23 Tenants also called the Fire **********. The Fire ********** came and informed tenants that it was probably a faulty gutter or window flashing that was allowing the water to enter the interior. The Fire ********** determined that there was no current danger of a roof collapse.
  3/20/23 Tenants called *************** ********** of ************ and ********** and filed a complaint.
  3/20/23 LPH1 Maintenance completed initial assessment regarding the water intrusion. Fans were set up and silicone caulking was added along the window to mitigate more water coming in. LPH1 Maintenance recommended further assessment by a roof or gutter specialist.
  Between 3/20/23 to 3/24/23 Maple Leaf consulted vendors for both remediation and pinpointing the source of the leak. Maple Leaf retained three different vendors (gutter specialist, roof specialist, and flat roof specialist) to inspect the property and locate the leak. Maple Leaf also is working with the owners insurance company as needed with this type of situation.
  3/24/23 Sapphire Gutter, which was the first vendor available to visit the property, assessed the source of the water leak and determined there was an issue with the roof and siding. The wall flashing with TPO roofing needs to be repaired and a roof diverter is necessary to allow water to drain from the roof into the gutter.
  3/24/23 Maple Leaf sends a work request to Flat ************* to evaluate and begin roof and siding repairs.
  3/25/23 Maple Leaf received a phone call from the tenants that more water had come in and that they saw indications of mold developing. Maple Leaf contacted ******************** who visited the property the same day. They opened the wall and confirmed that there was no microbial growth.
  3/27/23 The exact location of the leak was located by Flat ************* through the use of a drone.  The leak was fixed on 3/28/2023.
  Throughout this process, the inspector from the *************** repeatedly has confirmed that Maple Leaf is working within reasonable timeframes for fixing and correcting the water intrusion.
  The next step is to allow time for the area to dry out before the interior can be repaired.  The interior repair bid has been received and approved, and the drywall repairs will commence when the area is completely dry.  Pure Dry is in the process of drying out the area so they can move forward with the interior repairs.
  Maple Leaf continues to work with the *************** to meet all required timelines as stated in RCW 59.18.070.
  
  As per the details above, Maple Leaf addressed all maintenance concerns within the required timelines as stated in RCW 59.18.070.  It is evident that the tenants here have unreasonable expectations of their rental home and the management of the home by Maple Leaf. Despite the numerous complaints filed by the tenants, the city has not found any merit to the tenants claims.  Including the ****,the city has inspected the property four times (three for tenant complaints) since December 2022. The property has passed all inspections.  No citations have been issued, and the city has indicated to Maple Leaf that it has acted appropriately thus far with respect to the tenants complaints.
  
  Maple Leaf also has taken steps in addition to the contractual obligations in the Lease to ensure the tenants needs are being considered. The tenants were given a $500 rent credit for the inconvenience of having a contractor in the home on the day they arrived at the property. Likewise, Maple Leaf has offered the tenants a $1200 rent credit for the inconvenience of the water intrusion into the bedroom on 3/20/23. The tenants have also been offered an early termination of their lease with no penalties if they prefer to move.
  
  For the foregoing reasons, Maple Leaf respectfully requests that the BBB dismiss the tenants complaint.
