  I live at 5555 Long Prairie Trace apartment 1114 for 1 year or more. I did not sign a lease for longer that 3 month intervals. I paid my rent on time, and I was never late. The apartment was left clean and the carpet was shampooed. I hired a cleaning service and a carpet cleaning service from the internet. I took pictures before turning my keys in over the weekend. I left the ac on so the carpet would be dry and I extended the electricity until monday at end of business. The manager sent me to collections, credit bureaus agency alleging the carpet had an odor. I do not know if management, the maintenance team or office staff went to the apartment upon returning my keys, turned the AC OFF causing the carpet not to dry. This is unfair to me as a consumer that paid them on time each month, spent money having the apartment cleaned, carpet cleaned and put great reviews online. They're negligent, putting marks on my credit and apartment history. I am asking them to remove the bad marks.

  I write on behalf of Entrata, Inc. I am in receipt of Ms. *******’s complaint to BBB with the above-referenced number. Unfortunately, the complaint has been addressed against Entrata in error.
  

  Entrata does not own or manage Advenir at Grand Parkway West Apartments, and has no oversight or responsibility for any matters involving leasing, charges, damages, terminations, or collections. Entrata provides property management software and related services, including website hosting, for the property. Entrata is not a proper party to these claims. Ms. ******* will have to resolve these issues directly with the property. 
  

  Unfortunately, we have no record of Entrata directly receiving notification about these issues prior to receiving the BBB complaint, otherwise we would have attempted to clarify our role with Ms. ******* sooner. We trust that this response satisfactorily resolves this matter.

  This company made a hard inquiry on my credit history, an unnecessary step in determining my eligibility for rent and far exceeds the standard credit check process for the industry. Worse it is not adequately educating its users to inform applicants of the steps involved. I was told that this process would check my bank account statements for deposits, thereby constructing a picture of my income that wouldn’t require gathering pay stubs. The reality seems a far cry. There is absolutely no discretion or concern on behalf of the applicants, who are simply applying for rent and not seeking a line of credit. This is a heinous practice and the company should be held to task on this.

  Thank you for contacting Entrata. Entrata is a technology company that provides property management software to our clients, which are property management companies and property owners. 

  
  

  On January 22, 2025, Mr. ******** electronically signed a Consumer Authorization form in connection with renting an apartment of interest. The owner and/or manager of the apartment complex uses software and services provided by Entrata, including background screening services of Resident Verify. Our records indicate that Mr. ******** did authorize the background screenings and the hard inquiries on his credit.

  
  

  Although Mr. ******** authorized the hard inquiry on his report, Resident Verify is pleased to initiate a request for the removal of this inquiry on his behalf. Mr. ******** will receive a confirmation email once the removal request has been submitted. Please note that it may take between 25 and 30 days for the credit bureaus to update consumer reports. If the inquiry has not been removed after this period, *********** may contact Resident Verify for further assistance.

  We lived in the ********* apartments for 1 year. At the end of November 2024, when we checked out, we fulfilled all the conditions and left the apartment in very good condition, we did a full cleaning there and everything remained perfect. After that, the manager came, looked at the condition of the apartment, took the keys and said that she had no complaints against us, and we would receive our check with a deposit of $1,200 within 2 weeks.After that, we waited three weeks and started trying to find out when our check with a deposit would arrive. We called every day several times, making several hundred calls during this time. However, we managed to get through to the manager only twice. Both times she said that she could not find us in the system and said that she would call back later. Naturally, she did not call back even ******* the same time, we wrote emails demanding the return of our illegally withheld deposit. In total, we sent several emails, to none of which we received any response. At the end of December 2024, I sent a paper letter to the manager of this apartment demanding that they return our deposit and explain why it had not been returned to us yet. We did not receive a response to this letter either. We also went to this apartment more than once, but were able to see the manager only once. The previous times, the office was constantly closed and there was no one there. The only time we saw the manager, she said that she is very busy. As a result, we waited near the office door for almost three hours. When she came out to us, we tried to find out where our deposit was and why it had not been returned to us. She said that our deposit had been sent by mail. When we asked for the tracking number, she continued to lie and said that our deposit had not been sent yet. As a result, we were still unable to get an answer as to why they had not returned our deposit and when they would return it to us.Please help ******* regards, Aleksei **********

  Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a billing issue with the resident portal, Entrata. In November, I requested a correction to the balance shown in the system, as it was reflecting an incorrect amount. Unfortunately, by December 3rd, the system still displayed an incorrect balance of $1,080.44 for move-in fees, in addition to other charges that totaled $2,182.57. As a result, the autopay function in the system attempted to process both of these amounts simultaneously. Despite my prior attempts to address the discrepancy, the system was not updated in time, leading to me being charged a $25 fee twice, for a total of $50 in additional charges. (Transaction date: December 12, 2024) I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and that the $50 in duplicate charges be refunded. I have made several attempts to resolve this issue directly with my leasing manager's help, but the situation remains unresolved. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, ******* ******* ********@gmail.com

  Thank you for reaching out to Entrata. We are a technology company that provides property management software to property management companies and property owners. 

  
  

  We understand Mr. ******** concerns regarding the ***************** Fees he was charged. At the time these charges occurred, Mr. ******* had two outstanding payments: his monthly rent and a deposit installment. Both payments were set up as recurring charges and were automatically debited from his bank account. Since they are distinct fees, they are processed separately.

  
  

  On November 26, 2024, an automatic payment for the rent was applied to Mr. ******** account; however, the payment did not process successfully due to insufficient funds. Similarly, on December 3, 2024, an automatic payment for the deposit was attempted, but it also failed due to insufficient funds. 

  
  

  As per the propertys policy, a $30.00 fee is applied for each returned payment. Mr. ******* was initially charged a total of $60.00 in returned payment fees for the two failed transactions. On December 8, 2024, the property waived both $30.00 returned payment fees. However, the fees currently charged to Mr. ******* are from his bank, which imposed two *****************s fees of $25.00 each, totaling $50.00.

  
  

  Unfortunately, Entrata does not have control over the fees assessed by his bank. We recommend that Mr. ******* contact his bank directly to inquire about the possibility of having these fees removed.

  This company made an unauthorized hard credit inquiry on my report. I was told numerous times by my apartment building, AND ResidentVerify (Entrata) customer support that the credit inquiry is a SOFT check. I have evidence that this was an unauthorized hard inquiry. I request this company to remove that inquiry from my credit profile as this is not an acceptable way to do business. I have never in my life heard of a company doing HARD credit checks for an apartment building lease. I've filed a complaint with the **** and my building as well. They have mentioned they've gotten these complaints MANY times, and will look into not using Entrata's services anymore. I'll be contacting other bulidings that Entrata services as well to ensure the property management knows of these shady practices. This company does this, so they can force you into a subscription based plan where they report your on time rent payments. They do a hard inquiry on you, so that you just give into the additional service at their additional cost since the inquiry is already on your credit report. Such a shady business practice.

  On August 24, 2024, Mr. ***** electronically signed a Consumer Authorization form in connection with his interest in renting an apartment at *************, managed by ********************************** Trust, at *************************************.

  Apartment buildings do not do hard credit checks for apartment leases. Hard credit inquires are for EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT - this is not an extension of credit application. This is not a good way to do business (to reference a sentence in a disclosure pushed to the bottom of a page that you know almost nobody reads. This is what many consider to be a 'fine print' disclosure. If you're doing a hard inquiry on someone, it should not be in small writing hidden in a body of text that is multiple paragraphs. It should be very very clear to the consumer. Not to mention, a potential tenant doesnt have an option to apply without a hard credit inquiry? Why do you do a hard credit inquiry? A soft inquiry is what almost every apartment building does. I did contact ResidentVerify the day I applied, and the apartment building also told me this would be a soft inquiry. The new building I am looking at uses ResidentVerify and I'm staying far away from that building. To do hard credit inquiries on someone applying for an apartment is ridiculous. Theres probably many people that get this hard inquiry, end up not moving into the building, and their credit is impacted for 2 years going forward. Again, this is not a good way to do business - an apartment building gets what they need from a soft credit inquiry. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Hello, there was an inquiry made on my credit report, but I did not authorize this inquiry. I have tried calling the company multiple times, and the main customer service line is not in available for support. I'm not sure what information was used to authorize this inquiry, but it was not me. I will be filing for fraud against this company.

  I have contacted this company numerous times through email and the app with no response. I have not been able to get into my account because I forgot my password and have tried to use the reset password but it does not send an email to my email address. This needs to be fixed because I have not been able to pay my rent.

  My Apartment uses this company for billing. I woke to a random $25 charge from this company that i did not authorize. This is not the first time they have debited the 25 out of my account. They have no working phone number for customers to speak to anyone but are quick to steal your money.

  Thank you for reaching out to Entrata. Entrata is a technology company that provides property management software to our clients. One of the services that Entrata provides is RentPlus, a rent and utility reporting program which helps renters to build credit with on-time rent and utility payments. Because your property has opted for Integrated Enrollment, you should have received an  addendum in your lease titled “Credit Program”, which describes this service and contains your consent to enrollment. RentPlus only pushes on-time payment information to the credit bureaus. In addition to rent and utility reporting, RentPlus provides budgeting and tracking tools, credit monitoring, identity theft protection and recovery services, as well as financial education tools (located at rentplus.com). If you no longer wish to be enrolled in RentPlus, you may cancel your subscription at any time by following the instructions contained in the addendum or by logging into the RentPlus portal.
