This Company is Unfair to it's New Tenants
I am a new tenant 9/3 I signed my lease. At that time paid my rent and Deposit required. I was encouraged to pay my rent through the Rent Portal LOFT. When 9/30 came I noticed there was a negative balance of $400 so I inquired about it. I am a tenant who has used FLEX to pay my rent on time for the last year. Mind you on the third I gave Gateway Management Company-a few Money orders to secure my apartment and lease. When I moved in my key fob was not given to me, my AC was not working properly. I have had several issues with the AC unit since my arrival. And then to top it off when I FLEX tried to pay my rent on the 1st they were unable to because my account still had a negative balance. I went to the property management with great concern, and she assured me it would be taken care of and that I would not be penalized for the error that their accounting department made. By the 5th the error still had not been completely corrected and the property manager was now on a week vacation. No one in the office could assist me so I called and emailed the regional manager. Instead of her being personable and calling her new tenant back she emailed me and told me on her end it showed the correct balance and that I would be responsible for late fees!!! HOW?? this is so unfair that I have to pay a cost that I didn't create because someone in their accounting department didn't input the financials in the correct way. These people may cheat on their taxes, there may be some money embezzlement happening etc. I don't know but at this point I would speculate anything!! Why would someone not support the new tenant who has pictures to support what she is seeing the LOFT portal from her end. This is by far the worst experience I have encountered with a property management and o think I just signed my lease. It's very disappointing and disheartening that these people would do this to me. I will seek legal action. I will say the neighborhood is nice and family friendly. I love my neighbors but the property management and company SUCKS!! and they can't seem to keep any regulars in the office there is a high turnover. You cannot play with people's livelihood like this!!!!
