  More info

  I moved into ********************** in Feb 2021. This property was owned by a KJB Management. The apartment was rented to me and my sister in less that perfect condition. Unclean. Noting the microwave was cracked, dishwasher was not of use/showed mold and smelled of mold and the living room blinds were dry rotted that would break on touching. The property manager stated they would replace the blinds but never did. They would not turn with the wand but we purchased new slats and added them to the dry rotted areas and moved on. We washed dishes by hand and did no use the dishwasher during out time here (for the past 3 years.) We were also provided with a garage door opener that was not up to par as the button needed to be pushed hard or twice to open the garage. The manager was less than helpful upon request.National Management dba National Development ************************** purchased the property more than a year ago. We recently chose to vacate the premises due to repeated rent increased going to $900 to $1500 in less than 3 years. We had the property cleaned and took photos and videos as proof. The company still kept our full deposit & attempted to charge $66 over the deposit. They attempted to charge for nitpicked cleaning items that would be known as "normal wear and tear" which cannot be charged according to Wisconsin law.Charges we agree to include damage to a door and a water bill balance. They "claim" to have replaced the dishwasher, garage remote, and living room blinds and have charged us though they were provided to us that way by the previous property owner. This was not our damage.The company lied to police about their name when attempting to serve them disrupting a possible attempt at a court case. They refused the service and stated one of their alternate company names. Address and name are correct as stated on bill. We are requesting the $500 sec dep balance due to us for these items that were provided in dilapidated condition upon leasing.

  We are working though the Complaint's concerns about the charges on her security deposit. We had a conversation after she moved out of the apartment regarding her concerns. We disagree from her on what ordinary normal wear and tear is. To sort this out we will be attending court later this month. Hopefully there will be an outcome we are both happy with.

  4/5/24 an employee of the roofing company they hired fell through my ceiling, leaving a giant hole and fiber glass insulation covering the bedroom. 4/8/24 the hole was patched up. As agreed, the carpet would be cleaned as well as everything that was touched with fiber glass would be replaced. It has been 28 days now and there has been no proof of the carpet being cleaned nor any compensation for what needs to be replaced. The room has been blocked off and I'm sleeping in the living room as fiber glass is very toxic and could potentially have contaminated everything in the room. I have called on numerous occasions(no answer) and when I made an in person visit the manager stated "The contractor needs to pay us before we can compensate you" I have been fully patient and understanding that accidents happen but 28 days is a very long time to be waiting. Not to mention the removal of all the contaminated furniture and delivery of the replacement at my expense.

  Hello BBB, 

   

  The damage to the Tenants' (*******************************) unit was caused by a contractor he hired to perform the work for a new roof. A few weeks after the incident happened we were unable to get the contractor to resolve the issue in a timely manner. So we will handle that between the contractor and us. While we were working with the Tenant we complied a list of damages to be approx. $499. We issued Tenant a credit on his rent for $599 ($100 more than the damages to end this in a satisfactory manner. We also had professional carpet cleaners clean his flooring free of charge. 

   

  Attached is an email chain with the Tenant. 

   

  We are looking forward to a continued positive relationship with the tenant. 

   

  Thank you

  I lived at the landings in ****** for two years. The walls were never painted before I moved in. The building was sold to National management one and a half years after I lived there. They are trying to charge me for painting the apartment which for one thing was normal wear and tear and the other it was not freshly painted when I moved in. They are also trying to charge me for screws in the wall which were also there when I moved in. I have tried to reach out to them by emails and phone calls to both National management and the property manager without any return emails or calls. I want my security deposit returned. There was no excessive damage to the walls or the proof.

  Dear BBB, 

   

  National Management has returned the $500 security deposit and resolved the issue. The check was mailed no later than 1/25/24 to *********************. There was no move-in paperwork provided from pervious owner regarding the condition of the unit which showcased the interior damage was from *********************. Upon continued discussions and photo exchanges with ********************* we were able to determine his statements were correct. We have paid his security deposit back, and understand his concern.

  I rented an apartment in ******, **. ****************************************************************************. I took pictures and sent them to the Landlord in the beginning to show any issues with the apartment. I still have time dated pictures on my phone. The apartment was in the exact same condition when we left. We moved the fridge to clean under and stove, cleaned the windows - every single thing on the check list was perfect. Nobody will answer any of my calls regarding the $1400 security deposit. I put my address to have mail forwarded immediately. I also returned all the keys to the office as instructed and he even asked for my new address. I did everything I was supposed to do. I'm a branch manager at a bank for almost 23 ************ never seen business like this. I never received any letter within 21 days or any letter at all as to why they kept my security deposit. Nobody will return any voicemails, emails, nothing. I'm being treated like garbage. The pictures attached are from 9-17-21 at approximately 4:12 PM on my phone. I emailed them on the apt app and did receive an answer from the apt manager so they were received. It won't let me attach all of them. We even made sure all bulbs were replaced when we left.
