This company some how came into ownership of my rental property while living there in the summer of 2018. Although we were told we had paid any last due payments for rent, water, or other services rendered through this company, 6 months later we got a letter in the mail saying we still owed $200. I then got a call from Kevin P*****, and he told me it was for "a community water bill" which I had never heard of in my entire stay at the complex. Turns out, we didn't sign a contract with Avenue 5 when they took over, we signed w... read more

This is the worst experience I have ever had applying for an apartment. I live in Arizona and am moving to California end of June. Explained exactly what I wanted and was told it was available. Seems some temp employee made a mistake. Don't apply here if you live out of state as it is a big waste of time.

September of 2018, a water leak began from my ac and the fan in my bathroom, maintenance came by to fix AC leak and look at the leak in the bathroom, several days go by with more leaking from drip drip to Waterfall coming from my fan and my light fixture, then maintenance tells me that they will tell my upstairs neighbor not to use their toilet right before they moved out.... (This now is where it gets real fun! I don't hear from anyone the next few days then all of a sudden contractor show up at my door unannounced, and yes... read more

I renewed my lease on a month to month basis in May, but they never adjusted my rent payment. I thought it was low at first, but as months past, it was consistent and no one contacted me, so I assumed all was fine. Four months later, they charged my $1,200 more than I had been paying for my September rent. I went into the leasing office to understand why this happened, and the assistant manager was incredibly rude with me and told me it was my fault that I owed that much, even though I pay in full whatever I am charged and t... read more

As a tenant, I moved out in Jan 2018 and did not receive my security deposit back or an itemized statement within the 21 days per CA law. I reached out several times and could not get someone to reach back out to me and the few times they did reach back out my issue was not being resolved. I finally filed a small claims case against them for my security deposit and a bad faith penalty, no one showed up for court (not surprised) and I won my case. Now it's been 30 days since my case was heard and approved in court and I still... read more

In my opinion -Avenue 5 abuses the LIHTC Tax Credit program by treating people very badly; by not taking complaints seriously, lying and, then blaming the victim. Family told me to protect myself report this to the BBB. First they discriminate. They gave my original apartment to another applicant. Never bothered to tell me so or apologize. SRP Electric told me I couldn't move in because they gave my apartment to a Mexican Applicant. Cover up. They moved me into an apartment on a busy road and harassed me. I complained. They ... read more
