I sent the following to the State of North Dakota on the online website:…read moreComments I go by Bill. Looking for help with a rental dispute, please. The property management company is accusing me of leaving the unit dirty, non-payment of $100 and sent me a letter demanding payment for $200 cleaning and $100 carpet cleaning and $100 for rent. ($100 was paid in cash to the person who retired) I have a witness, the person who helped me move. The letter is dated 11/30/22. I last payed rent in October, no information about short on rent. I moved out and left the front door unlocked and keys in drawer as requested by propety management. I cleaned everything, fridge, stove, washed floors, bathroom(even left a new sprayer), the place was clean. Importantly why wouldnt managment call me immediately upon inspection and wait for a month to send me a demand letter. I don't have pics-didn't think it necessary because of the great job cleaning. Property management had shown the unit and there was no call regarding condition because I kept my home clean. In my work and my life I can control my integrity. I am licensed with the state for insurance, I have a job that requires ethics with the grand forks edc. I have a good credit score. The only thing I think could have happened is the landlord did not check immediately and some folks used the place because the door was open. Receiving a letter a month later is not how this could be handled, they had my forwarding address clearly. The landlord threatened colleciton and I didn't do anything wrong. Looking for help, please. I'd like to file a complaint against the broker/real estate company of Barb's Rentals too. Shady to do this. Barb's Property Management-701-352-0680

Barb retired earlier this year and Val has already proved unworthy of continuing their excellent…read moreservice. She tried to blame MANY problems with our tenants on a communication barrier but having now met them, their English is ALMOST PERFECT. Val then tried lying and manipulating my young fiancée, which almost worked, into believing that our kitchen wasn't really repainted (poorly) to cover smoke damage & that the 9 dead cypress in the privacy hedge died (basically instantly) within the last 2 weeks rather than during the year of the tenancy. Val also really crossed the line by claiming my father, who is now deceased but who had Alzheimer's, said "tell the tenants not to water the trees because it makes the bill higher." My dad was down in Arizona in a care facility and she had been informed not to bother him in the first place... Dozens of pavers were moved, a fence was taken down and moved, the home was filled with smoke when they tried to use the fireplace (Val claims she can't remember Amber telling her the fireplace is decommissioned but she apparently remembered something my dad said...), the electrical in the laundry room was modified, the sink in the master bath was left off because they had installed a used valve with a Habitat for Humanity sticker on it and it was faulty (check the sink, Val!), and a number of other things despite NO MONEY being withheld from their deposit. I am having to file suit against this company currently and am adding to the damages their fee for August as they did not earn it. Thanks for reading, and if you have read this far, you need to know that Val's LIES to our faces were exposed by her own pictures from the walkthrough. She claimed to "not want to fight" but lying to good people is not the way to achieve that. I understand and see her shame in their poor performance but her mousy personality isn't on par with the job she has unfortunately been handed by Barb's deserved retirement. Barb was the most impressive hard-working lady at 70+ I've ever seen, but what is left of her company is a shadowy illusion of what you want from the people responsible for your valuable property.

So let me start with what Doesn't The District have? Almost nothing. The only thing I always want…read morein a luxury apartment? An indoor pool so I can swim when it's cold which is really amazing to have in ND. But that's the Only thing The District doesn't have. Starting w the staff: Sarah is super amazing and so down to earth and helpful ... Kaitlyn nice also ... Josh is just that sweet nice guy who is chill and would give you the shirt off his back in this 0 degree weather ... and Robert is the guy who seems to be able to do and fix anything. Then the amenities! I can't even tell you how much i love this building. Outdoor pool, free internet (just bring your router), free washer & dryer w steam iron and sink and huge table for folding and 2 plush chairs to sit on for studios, in unit W&D for bigger sizes, a pet washing room just like a groomer would have, a big bike room w Air and tools and table to fix your bike, a pool table, a huge common room for parties or just to watch TV w an electric fireplace, an upstairs conference room w table and TV, 2 open lobby areas w TV and fireplaces and seating that's comfortable, free Starbucks and other brands for tea and lattes and cappuccinos, a huge gym that has everything you need which looks to be 1200 square feet+ with 15 foot ceilings, indoor parking garage if you want, free outdoor parking, no keys or fobs but just an app to open all doors except mailboxes (your apple or smart watch can also open all doors), balconies for many units, dogs and cats allowed, and just modern and always kept clean. The interior of the units have all new appliances, the washer and dryer are top of the line and use AI, and it's quiet while right off S Washington Street on 40th Avenue and just 1 mile from 32nd Avenue where all the stores are. This is by far my favorite luxury building in the . The District gets 100 stars!! You are the reason I stayed in North Dakota . Kudos to the architect and contractors and owner. Plus I loved it that they checked not your credit score but other factors bc it truly is not an indicator of financial responsibility. I brag about The District everyday to my friends and family so they are jealous. Oh and they have EV charge stations! There isnt enough space to write all the great things we have.
