Hello, I am writing to discuss issues that I have encountered with * Property ****************************** sister company ******* Services that they use to provide maintenance, repairs to the properties that that * Property Management manages.The most disturbing is they have altered a photo in an attempt to blame me for existing damages to their rental property! I believe it was done in retaliation because I provided an demand letter asking for the repairs to be done. By them knowingly providing me an edited photo in attempts to hide existing damage and blame it on me by saying it was not there upon move it, pretty much tells me this company operates pretty shady and in a con-artist like manner. It is disappointing that the homeowner property doesnt even know what is going on. Nor that their management is cheapening their property and causing even more damages to them.Upon my first week living here I have discovered a dishwasher infection of cockroches.Pest control finally came 4 weeks later after my repeated complaints/inquiries. He sprayed the inside of the dishwasher and saturated it because the infection was so bad. On The * agreed to remove it, and replace it but they didnt. Now 2 months later, they are stating they want to clean it which violates numbers *************** laws. Im pretty sure the ***** infection is also in the cabinets too. The entire ISLAND where the dishwasher is the main area housing them to be honest. Seems like they cheapen the property. They dont properly maintain and it is obvious that their negligence will cause homeowners to spend more in the long run. Them neglecting the roaches seems like the homeowner to truly remedy it must replace the kitchen island *********************** and one of the bathroom shower/tubs. This is the tub with hole and they sent me an edited photo to claim it wasnt this way. I zoomed in and you can tell its edited and the ** software said so too. There is discoloration and existing damage showing.Business Response

On Q offers its residents a "Security Deposit Alternative". A "Security Deposit Alternative" is a program where you pay the business money up front and then pay the rest of the amount of the standard security deposit over the term over your lease.Over the course of leasing from On Q, I paid around $4000 dollars in "Security Deposit Alternative". However, now that I am moving out, I have found that NONE of the money that was paid as a "Security Deposit Alternative" is used for the things that a standard security deposit is used for.For example, any damage to the property will not be covered by a "Security Deposit Alternative."There is nothing that they do except for take your money and then tell you that you are responsible for paying for all damages.A Security Deposit by its nature is to pay for damages that you make when you lease a ********* would assume that a "Security Deposit Alternative" would also cover damages.However, they use this fraudulent misrepresentation to steal money from you, and then make you pay for your damages regardless.They then hide behind a four-page contract with extremely ambiguous language to justify stealing your money.That the "Security Deposit Alternative" is nonrefundable is not the issue.The issue is that the money paid does not cover anything at all, least of all what a standard Security Deposit is for.I have complained to the company, complained to the **********, now I hope to get some kind of honest response from this company that has intentionally misrepresented itself in almost every regard to steal money from **** would like On Q to use the money I paid as a Security Deposit Alternative to cover the standard things that a Security Deposit would cover.Business Response

12/3/2024 - paid $388.17 to OnQ Property Management / **************** for deposit on approved items to repair/clean property. I submitted the initial payment for services, and they did not complete the services and did not resolve the issue, I requested to terminate contract and hired another company that was able to complete the work in a timely manner. After terminating contract, they refused to close my account and return the key to MY property, which I fully own and provided them with a key in which now they are holding for not paying for a bill of service that was not provided. I formally disputed the charges billed for cleaning services were not completed as agreed. They had provided before/after photos/documentation, which did not accurately reflect the work that was supposed to be performed, it was completely different photos, none of which was clean. I captured photos of the property that clearly shows that the report provided is erroneous. In addition, there are charges for property management services, when I was told that the property was not able to be listed, and therefore, all additional charges need to be removed. I was initially told that *** would be able to help me save time in the process and securing a tenant, however, this entire process has been far more time consuming and costly than it was doing it on my own. After disputing, and requesting resolution, there was no response and they did not try to rectify anything. They sent me a collections warning today, that if I did not pay balance of $864, they would send to collections, which they threatened would impact my credit.Business Response

On Q Property management and the homeowner of a home I rented located at ******************************* wrongfully entered the unit without notification while a lease was in effect. They also wrongfully witheld funds from my security deposit that was for damages not caused by me or any other tenant. The damage was caused by a vendor they sent out to fix another issue. They also erroneously billed me for damages to trees and a water timer box that was also the cause of damages from another vendor and not myself or any of my tenants.Business Response

****,
We spoke the property owner and unfortunately they are unwilling to make any further concessions. The vendors who worked on the property were through a ********************** not On Q Property Management. In addition, we no longer manage this property, we're unable to compel the owner into any further review of your situation.
If you'd like to discuss this further, either via phone or email, please feel free to reach out to ****** at ************ or *************************.
Best of luck to you!

We moved in to our house in Avondale through On Q with Sydney as our manager at the end of March. It was great picked up keys in lock box super easy move in process. Then we moved in not even a week later home owners were getting Amazon packages like crazy and picked it up with no notice from the property I them called Sydney she said she would take care of it and did. We then got an inspection for routine inspection on 7/26 for 8/29 then immediately emailed her back asking to reschedule as I was very pregnant and had family in town she said yes that’s totally fine take care we then rescheduled it from 8/29 to 8/26 and didn’t hear back on a time so sent 2 emails a week apart to confirm date and time she confirmed the 26th on 8/15 for 8/26 never confirmed time so on 8/21 I ask her if we can reschedule because I was put on bed rest for pre term delivery and I have 2 toddlers already and my husband works 2.5 hrs away and they were very aware of that from the day we moved in and she agreed (email attached and said we could move it to October and she would check in later) great well fast forward 8/29 there’s a man walking in the front door as I am getting in the shower (naked at the time) and throw on boxers from dirty clothes and a tank top I couldn’t walk to dresser of could be seen and I’m freaking out cause my kids are asleep the dogs going crazy and I just hear the door creek open and sure enough as he’s half way in the entry way looking in my sons bedroom thank god that one was sleeping in my bed and as he sees me says I’m with management (I have this all on recording) I tell him it was cancelled he leaves . Fast forward I was not sleeping cause I was terrified someone was going to come in and at that time my HB was moving out of state over 20 hrs. Away and I felt unsafe so we broke the lease on their breach after contacting an attorney they are now reporting we owe 6,293.20 and put it on our credit it was also rented Dec. & no detailed breakdown of damages!Business Response

We have rented an apartment under the On q management business. When we moved in, the tile was absolutely filthy. The original color is a beautiful orangey red, which we discovered after scrubbing one tile for five minutes. The entire floor looked more like a murky brown to a near pitchblack. We brought our concerns up to the property manager who has told us that its a difference in cleaning standards and if we wanted it fixed wed have to pay out of pocket. If we sent them a receipt they MIGHT look into getting us concessions. This isnt a difference in cleaning standards this is a health violation. The tile sealant has also eroded so anytime we do mop the terracotta comes up. So we cant even clean it fully ourselves.Business Response

Please see Word doc for complete details. Ultimately, I am seeking for compensation on the larger damages that were done, and the thousands that came out of my pocket. Wear and tear on a rental is not the issue, but having to replace a complete pool pump, pop **** and acid wash to correct an issue that On Q knew about and neglected to correct should not be put on me. Not only that but the tenants were complaining to On Q that during swim season they were not able to enjoy the pool because of the pool tech not showing up, they were informed by both parties, multiple times, and still took months to get resolved, by then the damages already done.This was not just my property, there were many neglected pools from their vendor throughout the ***********, it was a known and big issue On Q ignored.Business Response

I am a former tenant of On Q Property Management in *****, *****. I moved out on October 30. On Q has withheld my security deposit of $250 for more than ************************************************************** compliance with the Texas time allowance of 30 days. Because the deposit deductions exceed my security deposit by $38, On Q has indicated that they will wrongfully send the balance due to collections on January 1 and report to all 3 credit bureaus. This will damage my credit rating.I would like On Q to refund the security deposit of $250 before the balance due is sent to collections.Business Response

I hired them to manage my property, the house needed some repairs, they failed to catch all the repairs and charge the comapny tell I had a friend go inspect my property and inform me of the damages. I requested On Q to get a bid and get it fixed. I was completely misled and over charged for the little work they did and they did not do what was told to me over the phone by the Manager ****.When I spoke with the manager and arranged these repairs, I was assured that all dings, scrapes, and paint issues would be addressed, and all items would be removed from the walls. I was quoted $461 for the work. However, only a few spots were addressed, and items like the coat hanger were not removed from the wall. I was also quoted $481 to take down all the strip lights in the rooms and fix the paint. In one bedroom, they left the lights stuck to the wall and did not fix the paint. In the room where they did remove the lights, they got blue paint on the ceiling.Furthermore, I was quoted $721 for ceiling repairs in the kitchen, with the manager indicating that this amount was necessary for drywall repair and replacement. However, all that was done was scraping and painting over the area, without any drywall repair or texturing. This is unacceptablethe paint does not match, and the work looks subpar. The repair at the top of the stairs looks amateurish at best. Additionally, I am baffled as to why the towel bar was removed from one bathroom and installed in the master bath, with an additional charge of $65.I paid them half in the amount of $1941, after my disappointment I had them stop all work and cancel the rest as they refused to do what we agreed on and wanted more money. Do to the lack of work and them holding my property hostage for 2 months and not renting it as promised I demand a full refund and all cost they charged me for the property management fees. as I have no renter in it and have to hire a real contractor to fix their mistakes.Business Response
