              Status:
              Answered
              Date of transaction: December 7, 2022.Amount of money you paid the business: $4,600 (deposit).What the business committed to provide you: A refund of the deposit in the amount of $4,600 to the address provided.Nature of the dispute: The company has repeatedly failed to return the security deposit as promised, despite multiple follow-*** through emails, calls, and in-person visits.Has the business tried to resolve the problem: The business has acknowledged the owed deposit multiple times and has provided varying explanations for the delay, but has yet to refund the amount.Account/order/tracking ***************** involves **************************** of the problem:After signing the move-out form on December 7, 2022, I was assured by email that my deposit refund of $4,600 would be returned to my address. On March 1, 2023, I sent an email asking for an update, and was informed it had been mailed months ago. On May 2, I sent an email again for the status of the deposit and restate the address. No one responded. On June 22, I sent an email and asked again for an update. One day later, I got a reply if I was asking for a reissue. I replied that would be appreciated and provided them with a new address. I never heard anything back. After an in-person visit on July 7, I was told the check would be ready to pick up from the office the next week. On July 17, I visited the office again and was told I could get the check by the end of that week. On July 20, I called the office and asked for an update. The person on the phone indicated there was still no clarity on when the check would be issued. My recent emails on August 7 and 14 have been met with silence. The continuous delay and lack of clear communication from the company regarding my deposit refund is highly concerning. As a previous tenant, I demand an immediate resolution. If not addressed promptly, I am prepared to take legal action.

              09/06/2023

              We lived in a Hamilton Company (THC) property for years, and while security and maintenance were excellent, management was highly problematic:* The pool was closed for most of our tenancy due to COVID and construction, with no rent reduction to compensate.* We were erroneously charged $25 monthly for lacking renter's insurance despite sending proof of said insurance. It took multiple attempts to resolve and we were not refunded until moveout.* Property manager ********************* was nearly impossible to reach.The biggest issue was how THC handled building renovations:* In April 2023, we inquired about lease renewal. *************, the assistant property manager, said long-term residency couldn't be guaranteed due to renovations, offering no explanation or apology.* After visiting the office, ******* assured us we would be guaranteed residency until 9/1 and could break the lease without penalty. She attributed the lack of notice to an intent to include it in renewal offers expected by the end of April (which were never sent).* When searching for a new place, THC's leasing consultant showed us a unit, assuring us it was unlisted and there was no rush. Two days later, the unit was inexplicably taken, and we were offered a more expensive option beyond our budget.* ******* finally sent a renewal offer in late May after being prompted to; it came with an addendum allowing us to be forced out with 30 days' notice. When questioned about it, her responses were vague and contradictory, providing little clarity or assurance.* Upon move-out, THC failed to return our security deposit and owed funds within the legal timeframe, with no explanation or apology.Property manager ********************* finally reached out AFTER we moved out, far too late to address our ongoing issues.Dealing with ************* was the worst part of this experience, her lack of empathy and professionalism deeply unsettling. I hope to never have to interact with her again.
