TWG failed to provide and enjoy of my residence without unreasonable interference.My rental agreement was violated when my rent payment was submitted early, I was blocked from paying online and was only allowed to pay via money order. My maintenance request were avoided when I had sewage in my dishwasher. I became ill and had to leave my apartment because of the mental anguish of seeing and smelling sewage in my dishwasher, I was locked out of my apartment after complaining. I was charged $100 extra a month.I assessed a $350 filing fee early and refusal to reverse it making me have to pay $1850.My rent payment was refused. I was accused of missing payments. I never missed a payment. My contract states I can pay late but I have to pay an extra $100. I paid every month since 10/2018.TWG harassed me because I protested against them. However, I have a right to protest and it is my 1st amendment right. I am currently homeless because TWG had me evicted.I cannot find housing because I have an eviction on my record. My personal and business belongings were thrown away.Customer response

Unfortunately the attachments cannot be sent
Attached is the video where I was locked out of my apartments d refused to let me back in.
after being harassed for 6 months I was evicted after living there 5 years. When I made arrangements to pick up my belongings the elevator was "broken" 1hr before our arrival according to the maintenance man. I lived in the 3rd floor. We waited and when we returned my locks were changed. According to this company in the attached they were told I abandoned my property and they threw everything away.
the other attached video is the sewage backup in my dishwasher I complained about .
this is only some of my issues.
I paid to stay again and she refused my payment. Left the eviction notices out on display for everyone to see. Then threw away my belongings I didn't have time to get out because of the elevator.
Excuse my frustrations but I'm getting the run around from all around because it's TWG.
I want a return of my rent moneys and compensation for all my belongings discarded.

Still waiting on a call back as promised by the corporate office from the property manager ******* whom I was literally just standing 6 feet away from while she was unoccupied and dismissive of my presence Im assuming to cover the hind of her employee ******* who failed to place my application information in my folder like I asked as well as refused to include my full income in my application which prevents me from qualifying for a unit. My calls to corporate are now being ignored as well as the misinformation of staff and how hud works. Northwood at The Trails. As a recipient of housing assistance my voucher counts as credible income and she refuses to count it as well as my sons income to qualify for a unit.Business response

The complainant was working with a leasing agent at ********************** to identify if she would qualify to rent a unit at the property. The complainant had an appointment with the leasing agent on 10/05/2022 and submitted both rental application and necessary support documentation. The complainant assured the leasing agent that her income meets the income requirement, which is double (2 times) the amount of the monthly rent in order for the rental application to be approved. Complainant acknowledged and signed off on the terms.
After the complainant submitted the rental application, it was discovered during application processing that the complainant did not meet in income requirements. The complainants sons income was in fact included and the total income submitted. The complainant was notified that the income submitted did not meet the income requirements for application approval.
After learning this, the complainant contacted ********************** staff on 10/06/2022 and spoke with a leasing agent, who reiterated the income guidelines to complainant. Following the conversation, the complainant came to ********************** to collect copies of all previously submitted documentation. The complainant requested to have an in-person meeting with the Property Manager to discuss further. The meeting was scheduled for 10/06/2022 at 3:30pm.
The complainant did not show up for the prescheduled meeting with the Property Manager on 10/06/2022 at 3:30. The Property Manager called the complainant, and the complainant did not pick up the phone or return the Property Managers phone call.
That same day, the complainant called multiple staff members from the corporate office. Complainant was redirected to the Sr. ******** Manager who works at the corporate office. The Sr. ******** Manager called complainant back twice, once on 10/06/2022 and again on 10/07/2022. The complainant did not answer the phone, nor did the complainant return the Sr. ******** Managers phone calls.
The Property Manager at ********************** attempted to reach the complainant again via phone call on 10/07/2022 at 2:00pm and the complainant did not answer the phone or return the phone call. There have been no voicemails left from complainant to the Property Manager to further address the questions the complainant has.
Complainant is encouraged to call ********************** at ************** or TWG corporate office at ************** if she wishes to speak with a staff member. All attempts to reach complainant directly from TWG staff have failed.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. Id like to direct you to both the ****** review I left for the complex as well as the corporate office. Theyve falsely informed you and have continued to ignore my plea to re-enter ALL of my information. Instead of just what Ms. ******* has entered. No ONE has attempted to contact me. Im willing to print my call log and voicemail to prove it. Ms. ******* in the office also asked me if my mother was my watch dog. All of which I stayed in recorded calls as well as in my reviews on ******* *** continued to reach out and been ignored. Theyll probably fill the unit before Im able to afford council to represent me but I will be Pershing how these large companies continue to take advantage and discriminate against people that receive government assistance while making a living off of us. Ive also contacted the civil rights ********** of indiana applied to assist me because I dont understand how for 2 weeks Ive called and left message after message with no response but theyre able to respond to the BBB with this false claim of contacting me.

I was charged $230 and it was placed on my credit report and Ive disputed this several times. Also, *** called corporate and left voicemails concerning ******** the property manager at the assembly and they constantly have ignored communicating with me. I also have a protection order against ******** and he still harasses me and emails me.Business response

I recently received notification that *************************************, who'd previously applied for an apartment in our building, has filed a complaint with your organization and I have been asked to provide a response.
As ****************** accurately states in his complaint, he applied online and was approved for an apartment in our building on 03/18/2021. At the time of application, he would have paid both a non-refundable application fee of $50 and an administrative fee of $150 (not $200, as he states in his complaint). Once an application is approved the administrative fee also becomes non-refundable. This is made clear during the online application process. ********************** payment of $200 was rejected by his financial institution as "NSF" on 03/23/2022 (at which time an NSF fee of $35 was added to the amount owed). Attempts were made to contact ****************** to confirm his intent to proceed with a lease agreement in our building but we were unable to do so and his application was then cancelled. At no time would ****************** have been told he'd receive a refund of his $150 administrative fee because his application had already been approved.
When ****************** recently contacted me via phone, I did my best to answer his questions and address his concerns. I explained to him that the payment he'd made to us when he applied for an apartment the year prior was returned as NSF. ****************** mentioned several times that he felt we were committing some sort of "fraud" against him. I simply assured him that the $235 was a legitimate charge that had been turned over to our collection agency and that he should reach out to them to make payment arrangements. I also suggested that he might want to reach out to his financial institution if he felt that perhaps an error had been made on their part.
After he began raising his voice and calling names, I advised ****************** that I would be ending the call and then hung up the phone. At no point during the conversation did I not allow ****************** to speak or raise my voice. I did suggest he could contact our corporate office if he felt I had not adequately addressed his concerns, but not before attempting to do just that.
****************** came to my office several days later with a money order for the amount he'd disputed, which was then mailed directly to the collection agency.
