I purchased stocks on properties as per what the application stated. They decided to stop allowing purchases of stocks to be made and I am unable to retrieve my money. This has happened for the past 5 months!Business response

Hello ****,
Firstly, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience or frustration you may have experienced while investing on our platform. It seems that you may have encountered difficulties when attempting to sell your shares in offerings that are still in their IPO stage.
We would like to clarify that all investors are unable to sell their shares if they made a purchase in an IPO property. It is only when all shares have been sold and the property transitions to its secondary trading phase that you will be able to sell your shares.
Additionally, we would like to highlight that this information is readily available for all investors to review in our offering circular. We hope this provides some clarification, and if you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at *****************************.

I tried contacting them with the phone number you have and apparently it is no longer in service. I have stuck transactions and they are refusing to help me. They aren't even communicating with me. They are just ignoring me. At first they did and I sent pictures that they asked for. Now they don't talk to me at all. And the problem still isn't resolved and it has been well over a month. The transaction was on May 9, 2024. Then today when I was trying once again to communicate a add I guess you would call it popped up. This add said Landa has a "new product" that costs $29 a month to get customer service and someone to help me. Until today I had never seen this. I personally think that they did this to my account on purpose to force me to have to pay to get customer service. I shouldn't have to beg for them to help me with their product nor should I have to pay for help either.Business response

I submitted a request for deposit funds. The time for the funds to be settled was over 38 days. I have since submitted a request to withdrawal funds and that request has now been longer than 5 business days and I keep getting different answers. I will get one email that says deposits and withdrawals take 3-5 business days. I will then get a response that tells me they are having trouble with their banking partner. I believe the SEC needs to investigate the practices of this company.Business response

There are so many bugs on this investing ap. Not only can I not pull out my money until it hits the secondary market, but it might never hit that market. Also, there are so many glitches that keep me from pulling out money that has already been liquidated and shares sold. Additionally, the numbers demonstrated each month dont make sense, this ap is stealing from its patrons and somebody needs to step in.Business response

Hello *******,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration you may have experienced while investing with us. Allow us to explain what happened. Due to our transition to a new banking partner, some users encountered issues with creating transactions and connecting their bank accounts. Rest assured, this issue has been resolved, and you are welcome to deposit and withdraw funds as you wish.
Regarding the inability to sell your shares and withdraw your investment funds, this is due to our terms and conditions outlined in our offering circular.

Once again, we apologize for any frustration this may have caused. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support staff at *****************************.Best,

Since moving into this property in September/October 2023, my family and I have had nothing but issues. At move-in, we reported a broken window pane and broken glass on the patio. Those safety hazards were never repaired.We have complained many times about the master bathroom tub leaking into the kitchen from the ceiling. That was just repaired on May 9th after 3 months. We are concerned there is mold but the maintenance team did not cut out the ceiling to check.There is mold on many of the air ducts and the air conditioner does not work. The air has been out for over a month. There was an attempted repair on May 9th but the maintenance guy says the system needs to be replaced as there is a freon leak. I have repeatedly asked for window units with no response back. The house is hot and there are kids living there. Landa has no care or concern for it's residents. I want windows units placed immediately. We plan to move out soon and I want every dollar I paid this slumlord returned to me. I also filed a complaint with Clayton county code enforcement.Business response

Dear ******,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We take all tenant feedback seriously and strive to address any issues promptly and effectively. We apologize for any inconvenience you and your family have experienced.
Regarding the air conditioning issue, we acknowledge that the entire system needs replacement. As a temporary measure, we have approved the installation of window unit ACs and have reimbursed you for this expense.
For the concerns about leaks and mold:
- Our maintenance team has addressed and repaired the leaks, including the master bathroom tub leaking into the kitchen.
- During our inspection, no evidence of mold was found. However, if you have further concerns about mold, please let us know, and we will conduct an additional investigation.
Regarding the broken window pane and the broken glass on the patio, we are actively working on repairs. While our assessment shows the broken pane does not pose an immediate safety hazard as it is on the outer layer of the window, we understand your concerns and are prioritizing this issue.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. If you have any further concerns or require additional assistance, please contact us at ****************************** We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve these matters.

Company refuses to reflect line two of addresses. Avoid, I've been fighting with them for months now. With SEC complaints they seem to be blowing off. Additionally, they openly lie to your face about the rationale behind why they are not providing you support. Deserves a federal investigation.Specifically, they have been lying to my face about their ability to reflect line 2 of addresses. Prior to my move, line 2 was reflected correctly in the address (as I lived in an apartment). Currently, for some unknown reason, they are refusing to reflect my current address on account information in full, despite legal identification documents being ready and available to show that.1. The address is legitimate.2. The address is mine.3. I live there full time.The company continues to be dishonest with the rationale behind refusing to update my address with statements such as "The way we have our addresses set up in our system you do not require the unit number."Which is total **, as they have shown clear ability on my account to reflect line two of addresses. This tune of "We don't have to do this" changed when I pointed out that they had no problem having line two on my address back in July. And my former address was very clearly shown in full and correct on account documents prior to the move.Additionally, they appeard to have refused timely response to a formal SEC complaint I filed on the matter. They have refused to respond to my complaints in writing as demanded. And their customer service team is more concerned about outward appearances then actually resolving the matter. I will make this complaint extremely public, as the behavior around what should be a simple and routine account information correction has turned into an incredibly frustrating experience. Because apparently not even a quiet SEC complaint letter can make them give a hoot about my problem. So now I'm gonna make sure everyone knows.Business response

Hello ******,
We sincerely apologize for any frustration or inconvenience you have experienced. Allow me to clarify the situation. When you requested an update to include a secondary address, our support team initially informed you that this information was not necessary, as we do not typically need to send mail. However, recognizing the importance of this to you, we proceeded with the necessary updates.
Please be assured that we adhere strictly to SEC regulations in all our data collection practices. We requested your patience as we implemented the changes required to include the secondary address in our system. This update has now been completed, and your address was promptly updated, as communicated via our support channel.
We apologize again for any delay this may have caused. If you need further clarification or assistance with any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact us at *****************************.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has been partially resolved because:
Records provided by Landa, have previously included line 2 as part of the address prior to the move. Failure to include line 2 of my address has resulted in transfer request forms not being populated with the correct new holder information after I moved. Line two of a primary address is NOT the same as a secondary address, and it is very clear to me that Landa has provided others (including my past self prior to the move, with evidence being Landas own supplied documentation regarding my account), with the ability to include line 2 of addresses without this level of issue. I do understand that the transfer request documents that have the incorrect information on them will not be updated, and I am in acceptance of that as the account information now shows as correct. Additionally, I have removed public reviews on this matter on the app store as requested once it was clear the matter was being taken seriously.
This matter will be ****ed as resolved once:
- I purchase a share or shares, and I can visually confirm that the new holder address is populated correctly on the transfer request form.If this is felt to be an inappropriate use of the "Does not resolve complaint form", I do apologize. But I currently feel I can't **** this as fully resolved, as there is not completely confirmed follow through on the resolution. If Landa feels this to be the case, a polite request to **** this as resolved will be met with an agreement to **** this complaint as resolved. In that situation, no further complaint will be opened regarding this issue unless upon purchase of shares, the transfer request form continues to contain an incomplete new holder address.
Sincerely,
***************************
