Our A/C went out on 8-1-24 and Morgan Properties has let us sit in this heat for 27 days now with no resolution. I do not get an update unless I reach out for one. We are supposed to be getting a new unit and was told it was an emergency and it would be installed today. I just heard from the tech and he says he is just too wiped out to do the work today. So much for an emergency. We have never been late with the rent and treat their property with respect and we cant even get a window unit from them.

We manage properties for individual and private investors who have the ability to procure their own maintenance and repair services. This owner was given an estimate to replace the ** and Furnace which is very costly, well above the amount **** will pay in rent this year and has thus far to the owner. The owner unfortunately took a great deal of time to shop other quotes and estimates in hopes of mitigating the huge capital expenditure. We received approval from the owner to allow our team to replace both units on 8/26/24. Until we get approval from the owner, we have no way to force them to fix it except allowing you out of our lease and to vacate which I don't think you expressed interest in doing. The HV** tech did have it scheduled for a next day install, however, they got tied up in ************ getting the units from the manufacturer and wouldn't have been back in time to complete the repair. It is currently 8/28/24 and our HV** tech is installing those units as I type this reply. From date of owner approval, this is being installed within 48hrs. We apologize for the delays in resolving this. Thank you for your understanding.Initial Complaint

I was shown a clean apartment and decided to apply for an apartment through this company. They had us sign the lease before showing the unit we would be renting. When we looked at the place, we found mold on the air conditioner, a hole above the dishwasher, a vent that is broken on the floor and they stated we cannot use the tub until they blaze it and they still have to get us a new toilet. They have old refrigeration that they told us day of viewing they will not replace and it is so loud multiple times a day. We havent moved in due to the mold and if you look up Lakeshore drive apartments in **********, **, there are others claiming mold on their a/c, water damage, people messing with cars, ***** matter in the hallways. Please have a heart and help me! I can provide photos, videos, bank statements, pictures taken from reviews online, whatever you need.Business response

07/10/2023 I started to move in some small things within the first hour I kill a millipede and a ***** near the front door. After the first 2 hours of moving in I sent an email to the leasing person ***** explaining the bug problem and the horrible stench of the bedroom carpet which made it abundantly clear the previous tenant was a smoker and had a pet. She replied that the carpet in the bedroom will be replaced on Wednesday and nothing about pest control. All the while as I received the email on Move in Monday while the Orkin truck is parked outside the rental office that same day. Personally I went and purchased Raid spray and 3 bug bombs. After three hours I let the air clear. Come back to the apartment and as soon as I open the door 3 very large alive roaches are in the Kitchen. I was so disgusted by the stench and the roaches I slept in my car!!!! I wait till morning and return back to the apartment and open the door and find more roaches. I spray again and sit down on the sofa to start my work at home job!!! I open the laptop and ***** crawls across the screen. Obviously, there is a ***** infestation in the walls prior to moving as well as dirty carpets. Im not going to pay $1200 per month for a ***** infested smelly 500sqt apartment. I asked to be released early from my lease because technically I havent even moved in yet because its uninhabitable. The leasing office seems to think this is acceptable living conditions and not a health hazard. Either transfer me to another Morgan property again I work from home-anywhere where its not infested with roaches! Or release my from my lease. South ************ dictates If a landlord does not provide habitable housing under local and state housing codes, a court would probably conclude that you have been "constructively evicted;" this means that the landlord, by supplying unlivable housing, has for all practical purposes "evicted" you, so you have no further responsibility for the rent.Business response

I spoke with ******* regarding this issue. Unfortunately, this house is owned by an owner who does their repairs directly themselves, and does not utilize our ****************** services. We sent the details provided to us by ******* directly to the owner who stated they would be taking care of it. We responded ~30 days later to check-in regarding the status of the pest issue, and found there had been no progress. We updated the owner of this and were told they would go ahead and send a pest control specialist. The tenant reported another issue ~30 days later regarding a roof leak and informed us through that repair ticket there still had been nothing done with the pest issue and raccoons were still getting access to the upstairs portion of the house. We were instructed by the property owner to go ahead and have our team fix the leak because it was time sensitive, which Morgan Properties did perform timely. We have since taken on the job directly to initiate the fix that will allow the raccoons to not be able to enter moving forward. We have been given authorization and approval from the owner to do this, which we are working to get scheduled now. Morgan Properties is a property manager and has many owners who perform their own repair work, like this property. We became aware of the issue not getting resolved and asked the owner to allow us to perform this repair since they had failed to do so in a timely manner. Morgan Properties has contacted ******* and acknowledged the lack of timeliness in resolving this and apologized for the inconvenience, and we have also offered ******* the ability to terminate his lease early without penalty.Customer response

This company violates tenant rights in multiple ways. I have had 2 homes with them now, BOTH violated health and housing codes. It has taken them 6+ weeks to repair a drain/flooding issue I have been experiencing in the new house. For the 4th (or more) time in a matter of 19 months, I have been told by them I am delinquent on rent and get a 10 day eviction notice via mail. Each time, I call and email my receipts to the rent manager ******, showing that their records are incorrect and I AM current on rent. This most recent time, the end of the notice was 4/3/22. I have been attempting to contact them regarding this issue since 3/30/22, including emailing my most recent receipts. Each day I have reached out regarding resolution of this, and am blown off by staff on the urgent issue. I have attached picture proof below of my attempt to resolve the issue. I'm not sure how a business is allowed to run this way or still in business.
