  I live at the orleans at walnut grove which is managed by peak living. There was an HVAC leak above my apartment which the maintenance team was aware of and did nothing to notify me or inspect. I returned home from a one week trip to a soaking wet carpet and water stains across my ceiling. Upon further inspection, there was mold on multiple walls and under the carpet. I am currently unable to occupy my home due to this and the apartment manager Priscilla has been ignoring my calls and emails and refusing to speak to me. I asked for documentation on the mold inspectors visit and that was not provided. I've asked when I can reoccupy my home and they will not tell me despite forcing me to pay for it. I asked for a concession or reimbursement considering I am out of my home due to maintenance negligence. They are now ignoring and refusing to take my calls or provide any information. I also called Peak cares and left a voicemail and never received any contact back.

  Thank you for contacting Peak Living with your concern regarding the work being conducted in your apartment home at The Orleans at Walnut Grove.
  

  As your original request was for compensation due to the work not allowing you to reside in your apartment home, we asked the Regional Manager to contact you as Peak Cares is unable to approve compensation. We understand that the Regional Manager has agreed to waive October 2024’s rent for you as compensation for the inconvenience the work in your apartment home is causing.
  

  We do sincerely apologize that you felt you were ignored by Peak Cares as that certainly was not our intention, we simply wished for the appropriate party to communicate with you directly in an attempt to help speed the process along for you.
  

  Once the work has been completed, an air quality test will be performed and the results of that test will then be made available to you.

  For updates on the repairs, please stay connected with your local onsite team.

  Thank you.

  I am being asked to move because I was on section 8 housing program and I’m going to lose my voucher due to Peak Living Pebblecreek Apartments in Southfield Michigan. I had to report some things to the section 8 housing program. I have been living in my unit with Moore from about the last eight months. There was black mold in the cabinet between the stove and the refrigerator black mold under the cabinet in the kitchen sink black mold in my primary bathroom on the floor. There was a water heated that has burst in my unit three times causing black mold under the carpet burn my foot I was there some smoke detectors that continually tweaking all day long and they were all told to be done before section 8 comes out to view the apartment. Will Arletta fair came over about two weeks ago which is New management and she started yelling and screaming at me so my aunt felt like she was threatening me so my aunt called the police, my letter and Stephanie pipe PIPKIN and my letter fair said that I could no longer stay here because the police was calling and they felt threatened. I was the one I am the victim. I was the one being threatened I have several witnesses that will contest to this. I said nothing wrong to her , all I’ve asked was to stay on as a tenant now they have caused me financial hardship. I cannot afford to move. They’re going to put my property on the ground. Whitney threaten me Whitney their new management. They threaten me because she told me when Maintenance comes in to do the work I need to get on the phone immediately you need to get on that phone and call them so we can get our money so I call section 8 and ask them is that how the program works and they told me no , so at this time, I am a senior with lots of health issues being forced out of my home because they don’t want to lease me anymore because section 8 told them that they were not going to pay for the unit not only that they causing me hardship financially they have caused

  I am rejecting this response because:
  The reason I am rejecting this is I have a letter from Stephanie PIPKIN stating that she was unaware that all the paperwork was done in my unit that needed to be done. I never told them they can’t come in here. I did tell them that they are supposed to give me 24 to 48 hours notice and section 8 even said that Cma said that they cannot just enter into your home without 24 to 48 hours. All the work was not done. I have a letter or email from Stephanie. I don’t know why they’re doing this to me but it’s completely retaliation, I have my aunt Sherry Scott who hurt her say that she was upset with me because every time she comes in this unit there’s a problem I never threatened Marletta but of course they’re going to take her side so I guess we’ll have to battle it out in court because I never threatened she threatened me and the black is still here. Stephanie admitted herself that she thought the work was done and she emailed it to me now why they’re being so hateful towards me. I don’t understand. 
  Sincerely,

  Office asked me to remove duct tape from windows that had been there for a year Gave me one day to complete because they were having a corporate next day Informed them next day I would get chemical to remove adhesiveThey said they can no longer wait.They lost the spare key to my home and I was reluctant to give another as I wanted my locks changed for safety concerns as I am a single mom of 3 kidsThey told me in a voicemail that they are going to my home to break my ******** minutes later I have footage of them breaking into my apartment.never received a notice to enter my premises. When I brought this to the RegionalVP *********, after my messages to the seniorregional manager ************* had gone unresponsive, she told me that they dont have to actually put the notices on my door they just have to put in my file that they gave me one. I have no footage on my ring doorbell that they ever came to bring me a notice to enterAfter I filed my complaint I received a fee of $150 for empty Amazon box that fell out of trash compactor onto the ground due to the compactor being overfilled.I complained about that fee, they did removed but never informed me.In November, I put in a work order to get my mailbox lock fixed, which they did, and provided me a new key. On Jan 22nd I received another fee of $25 for a mailbox key. I stated I am requesting a copy of my work order about the mailbox because ************************* (property manager who I complained on) is stating I needed a new key which is incorrect as I still have the new key. She stated she wont give me a copy of work order as it is not correct. I also filed a request with **** to fix it where they directed me to Peak Living. I am now locked out of my portal which has all of my documents in it and when I asked why that is they stated they are filing an eviction notice for me. I never received a letter stating I was being evicted. I wanted to pay rent after they removed the fees of retaliation and now I am unable to do so.

  The Community Manager has been in communication with you since August 2023, to remove the duct tape off of your window and to bring your apartment key into the office due to your changing the locks. You stated on many occasions that you would be in to drop off the key so we could make a copy of the key. You were upset that the staff could not go into your unit to complete work orders. The Community Manager informed you that we needed your key for us to get into your unit. It was also advised that changing your locks without notice was a violation of your lease. Due to the violation, the staff had to replace your lock and provide you with a new key. The staff also then proceeded to remove the duct tape off the windows and fulfill your service request. 
  
  You failed to pay your January **** rental fees and were then processed for an eviction. Due to our annual sprinkler inspection in January ****, we found your home had been cleared out with only a few items left in your unit. It was also reported to our offices that you were seen packing your items into a U-Hal ***** and that you have not been back since. Due to non-payment, the account then accumulated late fees. The required written notice to vacate (60 days) or forwarding address was not provided.
  
  The trash was a repeated issue with your household. The first incident was when your son put the trash onto the golf cart, which was a verbal warning. In the second incident, you left trash out in the breezeway overnight. In the third incident, you dumped your trash in an unauthorized area by the parking area next to the bulky and compactor area. You then reached out to Peak Cares and the Regional Manager agreed to waive both fees.  
  
  You then also requested your portal information, and the Community Manager provided your ledger in an email. Regarding the mailbox - the Service Manager was the one that assisted you with this issue. To our findings, you did not have your key, which then prompted the technician to replace the lock to the mailbox. You were then informed of the fee and agreed to pay.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  This is incorrect information. I have caught the community manager in many lies as shes trying to cover her own mistakes. She is now lying on me to justify what she did. She is refusing to give me my documents because she states that the work order that was completed was incorrect from November about my mailbox which is why she then charged me for it 2 months later after I filed a complaint against her. She uses her title against people whom she assumes have no power. I didnt pay my fees because she was retaliating against me and added unnecessary charges which I asked to be removed and nobody informed me that they were taking action even after the numerous calls and emails that I sent to follow up so I would be able to. They waited to respond back to me until they were legally allowed to put an eviction on me. As a single mother of 3 kids living in low income housing its shame on her to charge me the excessive amount of fees she did because I complained about her violating my rights. I have the work order that I placed that asked my locks to be changed. I have proof of everything and if you provide an email Ill send the file with 56 items in it. They never put notices on my door and you could ask my neighbor because she was getting my notices. They purposely did this so they could say I was unresponsive. This is the true example of a big company using the power in a deceitful way. Even if nothing comes of this I have my faith and I know karma never misses. She knows what shes doing is absolutely wrong. What goes around comes around. You dont do evil to someones life who is barely struggling to stay above the surface causing them to be concerned of a maintenance worker coming into their home and murdering them and their children because one of the maintenance men lost my key I never complained of them not doing work orders except when they were given a key prior and I asked for pest control for 2 weeks straight and nobody came. Then she came up with the story that they didnt have a key. These apartments are infested with cockroaches, after I signed my lease I found dozens in my apartment I had to bomb it before I could even move in. Due to the entire building being infested it wasnt long before they came back. Peak Living didnt know Concord sold them a cockroach infested motel. She told me one day before her corporate walk that I needed to remove duct tape off of my window. Failed to leave me a notice of entry but made sure she placed one on my account to cover her own ****, which tells me she was maliciously acting against me from the start. This is a violation of my legal rights. I had a 20 minute heads up in a voicemail they were going to break my lock to enter my home. I didnt receive notice and lets say I was in the shower and I didnt receive the voicemail in time and someone is breaking into my home. As a single woman and mother of 3 children I have my own registered weapon and I would have protected myself and my children and we would be having a completely different conversation. So, not only is she acting in her own selfish way to cover up her malicious intent against me for holding her accountable she is also irresponsibly putting her maintenance mens lives at risk. I have all of the evidence and all of the footage. There is no footage from them placing a notice of entry on my door whatsoever. I have the voicemail where she was already setting herself up to get away with this because she has a manager title and her ** is backing her up using her title in a malicious way as well. I reached out for help and I got retaliated against in a very evil way. Knowing that we live in low income housing she did everything in her power to push me out. As far as the mailbox key I still have it in my possession. If I lost my key and needed it to be replaced why would I submit a claim to **** to get my mailbox lock fixed? & why when Im requesting a copy of my work order that states my lock is broken I need it fixed Im being told that I lied on my work order and shes denying me a copy of that? Why would you hand me a new key to the new lock in the office and not inform me of a $25 fee then in November? Why would you place the $25 fee on my account on Jan 22nd after your regional manager told you not to retaliate against me by charging me $150 for an empty Amazon box that fell out of the overfilled dumpster? You just needed to get that satisfaction of charging me with something right? Made you feel good? & to not inform me of filing an eviction on me, locking me out of my portal so I couldnt even make a payment once the fees you unnecessarily charged me were rectified, and also not communicating with me that those fees were rectified so I could pay my dues. My locks were requested to be changed prior to her even working here. The turnover in this company is laughable. Not one of the residents knows who the manager is each month because it changes so frequently. As a manager myself, I would never speak to a customer the way she spoke to me or the way the ** spoke to me. This company will go under very quickly if this is how they treat their customers. So go ahead, put the eviction notice on me that I only ever received an email response to my question of why I cant get into my portal stating, youre locked out of your portal because we are placing you under eviction. Although *** never received a notice either. But yes, go ahead and continue to lie on someone. Ill work out to get the eviction paid and off of me but God sees & knows all. You think youre safe because your big bad company is backing you, you continuously ignore my requests for a copy of my legal documents, and Ive been continuously subjected to speaking with the same person that *** filed my complaint against. As a company, I would never make a customer work something out with someone whom theyve complained against. Horrible customer service, horrible treatment against the under privileged, horrible communication, I wouldnt even recommend my worst enemy to live under this management company. I tried to resolve this issue so many times. I have consulted with an attorney and I do have a case with the evidence that I have. I didnt want to take it there I wanted to work this out amicably. I had only Feb left on my lease in a unit that Ive been in for 6 years. It is a very evil thing for you to do for your own selfish reasons to protect your own job after you wronged someone. Zero accountability and you should truly be ashamed of yourself. You can lie all you want but you and I both know what really happened and again, so does God. Karma dont miss remember that. I am washing my hands with this do as you wish. I truly will pray for you to cleanse your evil selfish heart. Take care.

  This is taking place at The ******************* I live in unit ****. My problem started November 16th of last year with my bath tub spigot starting to leak. I put in a maintenance request same day as it started the leak. Maintenance came out and replaced the cartridge inside the spigot. A couple of uses of the shower later it started leaking again. I promptly put in another ticket on November 30th, maintenance came out again to put another replacement cartridge. A few more uses it breaks again. Maintenance calls someone to investigate what might be going on. Every since the last fix on November 30th my water has been leaking slowly causing the water bill to be higher, same with the electric bill. ******* at the office is doing all she can but says "Corporate has to approve the repair" which apparently is about $2,000. All I want is my bathtub repaired as the mold growth is more and more and is becoming a health hazard day by day please I plead of you please fix my shower.

  After moving out of the unit at Charleston Club apartments in Sanford on July 31, my son received notification of a substantial amount of money due. His father, my ex husband past away May 14th. The move out letter was received from apparently the property manager on 8/14, but the property managers name. Candace is not on this letter. I’m not sure who sent this letter however, please note the following: There are charges for apparently biohazard & waste. The letter stated these totals over $4000 with the accusation there was feces on the wall. I have attached a picture of this which by no means is feces the apartment never smelled like feces only by mold for his extended period of time when I look back on videos and realize this was taken on April 29 and Johny died on May 14. I feel this may have played a part in speeding up the process to his final day with the amount of mold & extensive period of time this was not handled. As you can hear in the video he could not breath. My son had to go into the office 3 times. I realize ****** did smoke in the apartment. And yes, we are willing to be responsible for any of the charges. However, both of these charges were pending due to biohazard treatment due to feces. We ask for a breakdown of the fees, and they did not share this however, nothing. Again, you will see from this picture. This is not feces on the wall. We moved a lot of furniture out of here he was in the apartment for six years there was soda spilled on the walls in the floors at times as he try to maneuver getting around. After six years, I know that things are replaced. Tubs are resurfaced. That stated a pet seal with no pet. We realize the smoke smell was unfortunate and we are willing to do what is right but this total amount for something that is completing insulting & assumed of feces on the wall is not right especially now realizing that mold probably took him out 2 weeks later. I do have the video that says he can’t breathe if need be.

  Tell us why here.The residents move into the home prior to transitioning to Peak Living.  Photos will be sent in a second email to Mr. ****** from ************************* due to the size of the file
  
  Carpet replacement - due to all the stains. Damages. The carpet is not repairable due to the neglect of the flooring - photos are attached.
  Carpet Cleaning - Due to the resident passing away in the unit
  Damages - Burn marks, chemical burns
  Painting -Due to the resident smoking in the unit, the interior walls are yellow. All walls, appliances, flooring, doors, smoke detectors, cabinets, ceiling fans, etc. have discoloration due to the smoking - photos are attached.
   Pets - resident is stating there were no pets, but we found dog hairs in the shower, floors and wall in the bedroom - photos attached (main bathroom). 
   Resurfacing both bathrooms - please see attached photos.
   Biohazard -On some of the walls there were human feces smeared. 
  A/C Unit: Will need to have duct cleaning. Coils will need cleaned and vents replaced due to smoking in thr unit for 6 years
   Mold -Even though the resident stated they have been here for 6 years, this unit was neglected. Per the lease agreement housekeeping must be up to par. The work orders that the resident stated are not in our system and we have no information regarding what they are stating due to it being with the prior company. The resident has not readdressed these issues with yje Charleston Club offices or with Peak Living. 
  
  This unit was left in unlivable conditions, and this will take more turnover time due to the conditions that the unit was left in. - photos are attached.  Thank you. ..

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:First and foremost, there was no pet in this unit. Everyone has hair and there is no pet hair in this unit. It should be tested if that’s the situation my dad wanted a pet very much but he couldn’t take care of one. He was busy taking care of his dying self.
  

  Second of all, there was no feces in this unit. These are blatant lies, although the smoking in the apartment occurred this apartment was delivered as an aged unit with all old appliances.

  Apparently the biohazard fee was all because of feces. I can confirm 150%. There was no feces in this apartment.  These fees were randomly thrown together  and after six years carpet is not gonna be in the greatest shape. Ran it. ****** did spill some soda throughout the unit, but I assure you that he never put feces anywhere near above or beyond in this unit.

  it is not our fault that there was a takeover and no records were obtained. Apparently, the lady in the office said that they were people that didn’t even have applications, Social Security numbers, of course why would you have passed history of work orders and because of that neglect on the office you’re throwing it at a past resident whose father just died.  Just like they neglected the mold in the apartment for over a month because they couldn’t gain access to the unit above.  
  

  And resurfacing tubs please these tubs were destroyed when we moved in. These items would be handled upon making this unit ready again after 6 years it’s ludicrous that they can charge all these fees  

  These fees should be modified under the understanding there was no pet, and there was no feces and the carpet was six years old. The appliances were probably 15 years old.  Because of a take over and Peak Living, not having precise documentation should not fall on the resident that moved out.  They don't even break down exactly what these fees are  

  These are assumed accusations because as they mentioned they have no prior history because of the take over  so truly they have no idea of the last 6 years of unanswered work orders or knowledge  

  Sincerely,

  Mr. *****

  Unfortunately, your father passed away in teh unit. Bio-Hazard had to come out and clean. The charges as listed will remain and will not be removed. We are sorry to hear of your loss, however, as your name was listed on the lease as a leaseholder you are equally liable for all fees owed. You are welcome to contact the collection agency to make payment arrangements drectly with them once you have been able to find employment. Thank you for the opportunity to again respond.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because Bio Hazard is only necessary if bodily fluid was present and there was no blood or feces as stated. My father died in the kitchen. In addition, you stated there was a pet. These are lies. The only thing wrong was the smoke in the unit with yellow walls. These fees are outlandish and overly exaggerated.  No mention on the video with black mold growing on the walls huh? It was ok that neglect was ok on your behalf? 
  

  Very sad that you didn't admit to the fact there was NO pet and how dare your accusation on feces on the wall. I assume this is how you collect fees with no proof. Unable to provide the actual breakdown I see.  I sent a certified letter with no response on the break down.  These fees are outlandish and not even understood.  I am sure you see these. Why are you not providing a break down and the receipts possibly?  Because they are no even honest and precise. 
  

  How do you expect someone to pay when you cut off access to the portal?.  Payment needs to be paid BEFORE it goes to the collection agency.  Are you also just ok with destroying my credit at 24 after my father died.

  Please open the portal so I can make payment.

  My a/c went out Thursday, August 10th. I was given a small one room defective portable a/c stand up unit that did not have the proper attachment piece that attaches to my window. It was just taped onto the window. The taped melted and while I was at work the entire outside 100 degree weather was flowing into my apartment. The portable unit only gets down to 84 degrees. It does NOTHING to cool my bathroom, kitchen, living room, or dining room.The corporate office is not giving me any discounts or reimbursements for living in an apartment that I pay them for of over $1500 a month. The a/c vendor company finally came yesterday at 4:30 pm on Tuesday, August 15th to inspect my until, that was 6 days of no a/c to tell me and the apartment office that my entire unit inside and out needs to be replaced. The unit is over 22 years old. The inside piece closet is filled with dust and debris because the filter does not fit where it is supposed to therefore, the coils are filled with dust and clogged. This has been extremely bad for my health. I had to go home yesterday from a clogged nose and wasn't feeling well. Lost a day of wages at work due to this problem.The a/c vendor says they can't replace my a/c unit for a week. So now I am going to be with OUT a/c again for another week. I am not getting anywhere with the local office because they say it's up to the main corporate office.I am going to try to call the local office today to see if I can get another portable stand up unit that has the proper attachment that attaches to my window so that no outside air can come into my apartment.I am so upset and can't sleep and it' horrible how I have been expected to live under these conditions.Please help me.**************

  Hello, 

   

  Our team and the Regional Vice President have responded to **************** on 9/13/2022 regarding her application being denied due to her background and credit check. The Regional Manager has also had  verbal conversations with her. She did not meet our required criteria and felt that we should override the denial due to her having a housing voucher. That is not how the process works and was informed to her that we cannot continue with her application at this time. 

  We have responded to her email again today, 1/19/2023 informing her that her report came back denied due to poor payment history, no rental history and overall credit score. We cannot override due to having a housing voucher. She did not meet our required criteria and we are unable to move forward. We provided her with the phone number and website should she wish to put in a dispute with her credit report. 

   

  Thank you,

Then my son in law told me that the apartment was on the 3rd floor I had specifically told the agent at the time that I was recovering from a broken left ankle and had my right arm in a cast and I am disabled they sent me a sent but I could not cash it as it was illegible due to them putting all three names on the check and the ran over each name . I took the check back and was told they would reissue the check Well I had to go to the hospital for my arm needed more surgery I realized that I had not received another check in October and was told that Peaks living had my money I have been trying since October to have them reimburse me to no avail They want a notoraized letter (something they made up because the letter had no place to put the notariztion information.

  Hello, 

  Ms. ****** Canceled her application with Mission T***** on 8/9/2022. A refund for $150.00 was issued on 8/17/2022 with chk #****. The refund was issued in her name, and the 2 other applicants as we legally must provide the refund in all applicants names who are over 18 years of age. 

   

  Ms. ****** called our team on 10/24/2022 asking the check be issued in only her name. To legally do that, we must have a "Waiver of Rights" form completed and notorized by all applicants. We provided this form to Ms. ****** on 11/2/2022, 12/9/2022 and again today, 1/4/2023. She has not completed/returned it to us. 

   

  We emailed her this morning, 1/4/2023 and informed her we would be happy to re-issue, however the check would be in all 3 names as form has not been completed. We have completed our email responses for your review. 

   

  Thank you,
