  I have been trying since September 5, 2024 to renew my lease for October with just myself and my mother added as a co-applicant. Each time that I call its always an issue theres something different going on and it seems to just be non-going I had issues with them verifying three times my income, which they did incorrectly and told me I wasnt eligible, even with my proof of my paystubs and my mothers bank statements of her retirement. I had to call and speak to a supervisor to have them re-calculate it, which they found out was an error on their part finally which took forever to do since Miss **** ***** at the Charlotte ******* wouldnt do it herself after I sent her an email asking her to Time Ive tried to get in contact with Miss *****. She never answers the phone. She doesnt respond to emails in a timely fashion shes very unprofessional once they corrected that problem. It was time in October to be able to pay the rent. I went to the pay portal to pay on October 4 to pay by 1680 rent, but the amount was incorrect on there there were charges of, month-to-month fees and other additional charges that were incorrect I reached out to them and asked them to please correct this issue. I was told that it would go over to their department to be corrected and it never was each time I called. It was something different recently. I was told that in order to be able to correct that amount I would have to sign the lease so they decided to finally after all this time send over the lease renewal to be done, but it had the incorrect amount on there I sent an email explaining to them that I would not be , committing to assigned contract with an incorrect amount to pay that makes no sense. I was told to sign the lease and then they would be able to correct the amount on the pay portal. It still has not been done and Ive been recently given an eviction notice for Octobers rent. I just want the correct lease renewal to reflect $1680 and the portal to be corrected to pay.

  Hello I spoke to a representative via text last week about the missed maintenance call. We received a timeframe and was awaiting a phone call like always requested and requested this time as well. The tech did not call me but called another number that was not mine. We always receive a phone call when they are on the way and didn't receive one. We have proof of the chat with your maintenance department confirming the tech called the wrong number. Why am I still being charged? I've also expressed this is turning into an emergency because their is mold and I have children in the house and no one seems to care. I went to go pay my rent this morning and this fee is on there after it's already been established that the wrong number was called. Tricon has never showed up at the exact timeframe they say they are coming and always call. I was not called. I can't pay this additional fee that I did not cause. Your system had the wrong number for whatever reason which is also not my fault. They've always called me before they arrived. This should have been no different. Please update your records and remove this fee before close of business so that I can move forward with paying the rent on time. I would appreciate a call as well at my CORRECT phone number **********. If this isn't resolved by midnight I'll be asking for the credit plus the late fee that will be added to my account. - ******* *****

  On 11/5/24, our team spoke with Mr. ***** regarding the leak beneath her kitchen sink. We prioritized the issue, and a technician replaced the garbage disposal that same day at approximately 5:00 PM. We acknowledge that a missed maintenance appointment occurred due to an outdated phone number in our system, resulting in a communication lapse. After reviewing the matter, we confirmed the technician called an incorrect number.
  To address this, we have removed the $75 charge from Mr.****** ledger. A vendor was also scheduled to repair the damaged cabinet, and we are glad to note Mr. ****** satisfaction with the completed work. Our records have been updated with the correct contact information to prevent future issues.
  We apologize for any inconvenience and distress this may have caused. Should Mr. ***** need further assistance or have additional concerns, we encourage her to contact us.

  I moved out of the rental home owned by Tricon American Homes on 7/16/2024. On 2/14/2020 I I paid Tricon a deposit of *******. If I followed the move out rules I was to be refunded *******. Which I did step by step. Tricon sent me a refund letter dated 7/24/24 in the amount of ****** which I did not receive from ***** until 8/29/24 shortly after I called and asked the status of my refund. 1.5 months after moving out. I then sent a letter with another copy of the floor receipt on 10/03/24 because I could not get them on the phone. I was on hold for 1 hour and then chose #1 option for a call back. No call back was received. As of today 11/4/24 no response from them. I called and again today and again 1 hour wait after the hour I gave up. Their letter which was included with my reduced refund showed the following reasons for charge back of $562.50.$260.00 to clean the carpet. I had the carpet professional cleaned as well as the tile steamed by the same company. The receipt was left on the counter because they could not come out and do the walk thru on 7/14. They came after I moved. $112.50 for trash which was 2 pallets that I had against the fence because animals were coming thru the holes where boards were missing. Potted plants that were there when I moved in. Small stones which was a french drain I put in because the back porch was flooding because 2 drains had been covered with grass and dirt. $190.00 for damaged blinds. No blinds were damaged except the garage blind which was like that when I moved in. I am due the additional $562.50. This appears to be a poor tactic to keep what is not theres. I lived there 4 years and paid every month on time. I pressure washed the front of the house, Had monthly pest control through the entire lease, trimmed and raised the trees and maintain the yard nicely. They should have been there on 7/14/24. I did not sign the exit because I was not there. I was busy moving into my new home. I want my remaining refund.

  Following a thorough review of her case, our team has made the following updates:

  The team has contacted Ms. ********* via email and voicemail to express apologies. The remaining refund has been processed, with the check mailed on 11/6/24.

  I gave *** on 9/23/24, before my required 60 days with my lease ending 11/24/24. I requested at that time to let me know what other steps were needed from me, I never received a response back. Upon receiving November's bill, I was being charged a month-to-month fee for days after my lease had ended. Upon calling, I was notified that it was because my roommate had not submitted a *** within the 60 days. I made them aware that she was never sent the email nor CC'd in it, there was also nothing in the original email from tricon stating that both roommates needed to give ***, nor had I ever received an email back from tricon when requesting what else was needed to move out. I was forced to pay the month to month charge of ***** on 11/4/24 because of their lack of commucation. When I was originally emailing people at the headquarters to resolve this problem, my email went unanswered for days. I called and left a voicemail that was never returned. I called until I was able to get ahold of someone. Now if I attempt to call the tricon number back of the person assigned to this case, it takes me straight to voicemail. I have attached pictures showing my original *** and the email showing that my roommate was never notified of her needing to submit a *** as well.

  I have been with Tricon for 5-6 years. The companies North Carolina market is nothing short of amazing. HOWEVER, the North Texas market is HORRIBLE!!!!! There is an extreme lack of communication. You have to literally hound the property manager to get a response and then they still don't respond. You have to go through the 800# for then to literally message them real time.I followed procedure in providing a notice to vacate. I left in the middle of August however I still paid September rent on time. After repeated attempts I was scheduled for a walk through on 9/25. Everything was done, keys turned in. Issued closed. I was advised within 30 days ( Also Texas law), I would receive my security deposit refund.. I checked on 10/18/2024 via email and was advised the property manager will reach out to accounting and get right back to me. On 10/23 I sent another follow up email advising I have not heard anything back as of yet, was there an update? No response to the email so I decided to call in on the 30th day. After explaining my issue, the agent advised I would have to speak to the property manager. I explained further that my issue was due to no follow up communication and if there is someone else I can speak with. The agent hung up on me!! I called back asked for the agent again was transferred she answered, immediately placed me on hold, came back after 10 Minites and said email was sent to property manager and they hung up on me again. Its been 30 says and they have violated Texas law and all I am trying to do is find out about my refund. Their lack of professionalism is next level. I just want my security deposit back without going to small claims court.

We apologize for the frustration she has experienced regarding her security deposit refund, and we want to assure her that we have been actively working on this issue and coordinating with our team to expedite a resolution.
  On October 18, Ms. ***** reached out to our team about her security deposit, and a representative responded the same day, informing her that the accounting department had been contacted for an update on her refund check. Due to a Yardi system update that week, access was limited, resulting in some delays. Ms. ***** also reached out on October 25 to our collections representative, who followed up with our regional team. Our regional team then communicated with Ms. ****** advising her of ongoing delays due to the system update and that we were still awaiting information from accounting.
  We have continued coordinating with our accounting team to confirm the status of Ms. ****** check and will provide her with an update as soon as we receive confirmation that it has been sent. We appreciate Ms. ***** patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter promptly.

  I had a maintenance appointment on October 16th. My two-hour arrival window was from 12:30-2:30pm. By 3:15pm, no one had shown up and I hadnt heard anything from the company, so I called. They told me it was going to be another ***** minutes before the technician could arrive. As this would put them there between 3:45-4:00pm, an hour and a half past my service window, I told them I could not do that because I had to leave. The lady informed me I could cancel but that I would be getting an email charging me for the cancellation. I asked how they could possibly try to charge me when the tech was going to be an hour and a half late to the two hour window they gave me. She said she completely understood, but that I would have to speak to a *************, the next day I did get that email, and I did call. I was told by an agent that they would have a supervisor call me within 24 hours. That call never came. I logged into my portal and saw that the charge was there, so I sent a message asking for it to be removed.The next day I logged in again, and instead of removing the charge, now they had added a SECOND $75 charge out of nowhere! So, I called again and was told a supervisor would call me back within 24 hours. Surprise, surprise, that call never came either. I sent another message asking for the charges to be removed or I would be filing a complaint. Since no action has been taken, I am filing this complaint so that this can be resolved ASAP. I would like BOTH of these erroneous charges removed from my account.I have lived here for 10 years, and in that time I have had ZERO late payments, issues, etc. You cannot give someone a two hour window, miss that window, and then expect to charge them for your mistakes. That absolutely will not hold up in court, which is the next place I am heading if this does not get corrected.

  On Sept/13 I sent payment for ****************** to avoid eviction and still appeared in count on Sept/17. Later that day of Sept/17 I received a called from a Tricon rep ******* ******* informing that she had received the full payment of $3,744 (Aug ******** On Sept/24 ******* left a voicemail stating of the $3,744 payment they received $1,500. Consistent conversation with ******* and I between Sept/24-Sept/26 about missing funds as I had indicated that 5 money orders were in the envelope totaling $3,744.While trying to locate the missing funds (proof was sent to ******* proving they were all purchased on same day from post office), I was given multiple directions from ******* mgmt team. I informed her I would look for the funds at my location and contact my friend whose house I stayed when I sent the money order on Sept/13 to see if misplaced there. The multiple directions on multiple days included Sept/24 to confirm if funds were left at friend house to mail, then on Sept/25 it was to go to the post office and cancel all 5 money orders and re-send, then on Sept/26 it was if found to not cancel (this point I had already paid the post office has required for them to do a inquiry to ensure funds were not cashed out before they issue refund). On Sept/26 ******* left a voicemail informing the **** team would issue a $200 credit for the ongoing issues with the account. The money orders were located at my friend house and mailed on Sept/30 and received by Tricon on Oct/7. I have not paid October rent because I was waiting on the $200 credit to reflect my account as told I would receive and have the late fee reversed due to this. I spoke with ******* on Oct/7 and informed they would not honor the credit because the missing 3 money orders were located at my friend house, however this was not a condition of the credit per the conversation and saved voicemail from ******* on Sept/26. I am seeking a credit and reversal of late fee, this should still be honored.

  We would like to thank Ms. Ferguson for bringing her concerns to our attention regarding Complaint ID: 22394866. We truly appreciate her patience and want to address the issues she raised.
  We understand that the process was frustrating and involved multiple steps to resolve the missing money order issue. On September 17th, we confirmed receiving $3,744, but the account was placed on hold due to $411 in outstanding legal fees. On September 24th, after the legal fees were paid, we discovered a discrepancy—only $1,500 of the expected $2,743.65 had been received. While working to resolve this, we cancelled the eviction proceedings as a courtesy.
  Between September 24th and 26th, Ms. Ferguson was in communication with Jessica Mendoza, and we appreciate her cooperation in trying to locate the missing funds. Once the remaining money orders were received on October 7th, they were posted to Ms. Ferguson’s account.
  Initially, a $200 concession was offered as a goodwill gesture due to the inconvenience. However, it was later withdrawn when it became clear that the missing money orders were not misplaced by our team. The confusion stemmed from an internal clerical error, which led to incorrect information being provided.
  While Jessica Mendoza communicated with Ms. Ferguson based on the information we had at the time, the concession was revoked once we clarified the situation. In hindsight, we recognize this could have been handled differently, and as a gesture of goodwill, we will ensure the $200 concession is applied to Ms. Ferguson’s account to resolve the matter fairly.
  We truly value her as a resident and are committed to improving our communication and service going forward.
  Should Ms. Ferguson have any additional questions, we encourage her to please contact our team directly. Thank you.

  We would like to extend our appreciation to Ms. Campbell for bringing her concerns to our attention (Reference Complaint ID: 22384233)
  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience Ms. Campbell has experienced. After receiving her initial request, we promptly dispatched a vendor to assess the issue and approved the necessary repairs. Unfortunately, when we attempted to schedule the follow-up work, it appears that we were unable to reach Ms. Campbell because her contact information had changed, and we had not been updated.
  We received Ms. Campbell’s updated phone number on 10/4 and immediately reached out to her on 10/7 to confirm that the vendor had scheduled the repairs for 10/8. We hope this resolved the issue and prevents any further discomfort for her and her family.
  Ms. Campbell’s safety and comfort are very important to us, and we regret any inconvenience caused by the delay. We encourage her to reach out to our team directly if she has any additional questions or concerns. Thank you again for your understanding.
