      In *********, I signed a lease to stay at an apartment with three of my roommates. My three roommates decided to stay with a new tenant at the apartment for the ********* year, and my lease would end on August 16th, 2024. On August 19th, I sent an email about my security deposit return, and on August 21st, they notified me that I would get my deposit back 21 days after my lease was terminated. However, it has been well over 21 days, and they refuse to return my security deposit because my three roommates signed a renewal. However, I believe this isn't justifiable as they signed a new contract with a new tenant, and my lease ended in August 2024; I didn't sign any renewal form to continue my lease for the future. That doesn't give them the right to withhold my security deposit. So, I believe I should be getting my portion of the deposit back from the landlord, and the landlord should have collected an entirely new deposit from the new tenants. The lease I signed doesn't explicitly state that they have the right to hold my deposit because other tenants signed a renewal form without me. I will attach the lease and email from them for proof.

      Hello,

       

      Thank you for reaching out with the information provided. Security deposits are held with the unit until the end of the lease term, since the current term has not ended (only renewed), the deposit stays with the unit until all keys are turned in and everyone has vacated at the end of the lease term. In this instance, it sounds like your son moved out and a replacement roommate took his spot. Usually in situations like this, the roommate leaving will negotiate their portion of the depsoit paid with the roommate replacing them. The office does not handle this and it is solely between the tenant leaving and coming in to discuss and settle. Since this has basically escalated, we can reach out to the tenant who moved in, in place of your son to help facilitate the exchange of deposit funds between them if you would like. The tenant who moved in, in place of your son has not paid colonial property management any portion for a deposit, we are still only holding the original deposit paid before they initially picked up keys. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am more than happy to help figure this out for you. I apologize this has been such a misunderstanding.

      Thank you,

      *****

      Hello *****,
      Thank you for the clarification regarding the security deposit. I understand the policy now, and I appreciate your willingness to help facilitate the exchange between the tenants. Please go ahead and reach out to the tenant ***** who replaced me to assist with resolving the deposit situation.
      While I accept this solution, I would also like to request an apology from your manager, *** ******, for his unprofessional behavior towards my mother. I believe this situation could have been handled with more respect, and he provide better communication to prevent this issue from happening. I hope that moving forward, we can maintain a professional and courteous relationship.
      Thank you again for your help.

       

      Best regards,
      ****** ****

      My son and 3 room mates rented from this place at *****************************************************. Start of the rental term last August of 2023, they made a list of things to be fixed-noting was ever fixed. Hole in shower floor, windows would not close all the way-several other items. They just returned the security deposit, and withheld $617.50 for what they said are 2 broken blinds. They left the place way cleaner & better then they got it. The blinds they use are cheap junk-that are $18.14 each at Target or Menards. I want the rest of this missing security deposit refunded. Everyone is tired of these price gouging "slumlords" that prey on students.

      Hello,

       

      Are you open to setting up a phone call so we can discuss the details regarding the deducions on your account? We can also share the photos taken during the checkout as a point of reference. I did the checkout myself and the unit was fairly clean, so we can discuss the cleaning costs. There were however several broken blinds in the unit that we have photos of. I am more than happy to share them if you would like to send over your email and a good day/time to get on a call. Let me know what would work best for you.

       

      Thank you,

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      [Please type your response here.]Here is 3 pics of the junky broken blinds from when they moved in. The tenants have the e-mails you sent, asking for positive reviews with a $25.00 bribe for each of the 4 tenants to do so. Amazing what you landlords try to get away with on the students. Crazy high rents, junky places you won't do any repairs to. It might fly with people from out of town, or out of state. Not with me, I live here.

      I called and talked to a secretary today, left my name & phone number today, said *** would call me back between 2:00 & 5:00, never called me back. Same happened yesterday with another parent. I have encouraged the other 3 families to take action against these crooks as I am.

      ********************* Rentals is owned by ***************************** ********** wanted its residents to vacate the private parking lot that we the renters pay for off-street parking in order to rent the parking lot out for a community event. There is no legally binding contract saying that our parking spots are conditional and therefore this is a denial of service that is being paid for. I have called and emailed yet to receive a response.

      Hi *****,

       

      My team and I carefully looked into your complaint and did note that on the bottom of the email chain you submitted, we clearly stated that you are not required to move your vehicle. 

       

      We also sent the attached email to you on November 4, 2022 alerting you that you are not required to move. 

       

      Game day was not enforced for anyone at the ***************************, and we have honored your existing parking contract. 

       

      Thank you,
