Advanced Construction Enterprises

Review: BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY !!!!!!!This company is managing my rental property and did upgrades on my house . the problem I have is non payment of my rental payments . It has been over a months with no check for my rental, even though the tenants paid and verified there check was cleared to Advanced Construction . I have been trying to contact the company with no success . I called and left several messages , emails , texts with no luck . This is already causing me credit issues due to them not sending payment which is legally mine .I don`t know if I should call the police ?Desired Settlement: Cancel contract due to breach of contract and in the contract if residence nis not rented out in 60 days I can void the contract . Which I did , I want the company to send or tell my tenants to send payment directly to me and to give me the deposit and 1st months rent for my property

Response:

June 20, 2014To Whom It May Concern: This letter is in response to your letter dated June 12, 2014 (this is the only correspondence we have received from Revdex.com - we never received any email or other correspondence as claimed in your June 12. 2014 letter).On January 23, 2014 we entered into a Property Management Agreement with complainant for his residence in [redacted]. MD (the Agreement was composed on January 23. 2014 (reason for it being dated this date) and emailed to complainant on January 24, 2014 @ 1:10PM and was not actually signed until January 25, 2014 @ around 12:00PM; the parties met in [redacted] Maryland at which time the Agreement was signed). On January 23, 2014 we began the vacancy turnover work to get the unit ready to be rented out and completed the process on February 28, 201.4. On March 20, 2014 we submitted the invoice (via e-mail) for the turnover work to the complainant. On March 25, 2014 complainant responded Asking if we could do a payment plan. We responded on March 2S, 2014 that we would need at least a 50% lump sum payment and then we could work out a payment plan for the balance.On March 10, 2014 the complainant was informed that the information that he had on [redacted]'s [redacted] was incorrect and needed to be changed. On March 24,2014 the complainant was informed that we were processing 6 applications and would make a decision by (March 25, 2014 at which time complainants reply was "Nice" Then on March 24, 2014 the complainant was informed that the new tenants would be moving in on April 5, 2014 to which the complainant responded “AWSOME DUDE...call me when you can talk”.On April 1, 2014 we received a check in the amount of $1,100.00 from the new tenant for the security deposit (required amount was $1800.00 but we told them to send in what they could to show good faith). On April 7, 2014 we received a check in the amount of $1100.00 for April Rent and a check in the amount of $700.00 ($460.00 was for April rent and the other $240.00 was to be applied to the security deposit balance (April Rent was only $ 1560.00; pro-rated from April 5,2014 (move in date) to April 30,2014), Tenant, still owes $460.00 for the security deposit. On April 8, 2014, the complainant began the harassment about sending his money. Per the Property Management Agreement: “The Agent (us) agrees to collect all rents as they become due; to render to Owner (complainant) a monthly accounting of rents received and expenses paid; and to remit to Owner all income, less any sums paid out. Agent agrees to collect rents from the tenant and to disburse funds by ordinary mail or as instructed by Owner on or before the 20th day of the current month, provided, however, that the rent has been received from the tenant". On April 15, 2014 complainant sent us an email asking us to send him the rental payment minus the fees. On April 15,2014 (after receiving numerous phone calls on our personal phones) We sent complainant an email telling him that we would work on the statement the next day. Complainant responded “Sorry [redacted], I want to apologize for the mis understanding. I want to continue your company’s services as stated in the contract. Can you give my apologies to [redacted] also. Thank you [redacted] .On April 18,2014 the Owner's Statement was prepared and mailed out to complainant (along with all back up documentation) which showed an outstanding balance due to Agent (us) and therefore, no funds were available to be rendered to Owner (complainant). He was sent explanation after explanation that the Property Management Agreement states that the Agent can deduct from rent payments received any expenses paid out. Since, he has never made a single payment towards the outstanding expenses that we paid out, we informed him that we applied the rental payment received (which was April 2014 $1,560.00 only) towards his outstanding debt. Complainant continuously harasses us for the rental payment on a daily/hourly basis even after he was told and e-mailed (since he claimed he never received the package) numerous times that there were no funds to render to him. He then began harassing the tenant. We have endured non-stop phone calls, text messages (on our person and business phones), e-mails, and [redacted] messages (from one of his friends) and has contacted several mutual friends making false accusations. On April 29, 2014 he sent an email to the tenants telling them to send him the rent payments and that he was managing his own property and that he voided the contract with us. Complainant has canceled the contract with us on three separate occasions, then comes back and says he would like to continue with our service.So, according to complainant on March 24, 2014 it was “AWSOME DUDE” that the new tenants would be moving in on April 5, 2014 and there was no issue with the Agreement Terms'" of 60-days (even though technically we did find a tenant within the 60-days), but because he was unable to pay his mortgage he wants to use this “60-days" as a way to get out of his obligation to us. If the issue, for voiding the contract between complainant and us, was due to the “60-day" time frame, then on day 60 or 61, he should have voided the contract and not 90+ days (even though technically, since he did not follow the correct/legal steps in voiding the contract - we could still be considered the “property managers”) to void it.Complainant's account with us:Invoice [redacted] (Property Turnover) $4,650.00 Invoice [redacted] (Leasing Fee) $630.00Invoice [redacted] (Maintenance Repair) $367.00Invoice [redacted] (Maintenance Repair) $ 288.45 Invoice [redacted] (Finance Charges through 6/9/14) $173.42Invoice FC 76 (Finance Charges through 6/17/14) $17.27April Rent Collected and Applied to Debt ($2,560.00)Outstanding Balance due from complainant $4,566.14[redacted] Subject to change due to continued finance charges accruing. As for complainants “Desired Outcome/Settlement: We have only received $1,560.00 in rent (which was applied to complainant’s debt) and $1340.00 (for security deposit, which was deposited in a separate account dedicated solely for security deposits)-, no other money has been collected. Complainant will need to take that issue up with his tenants. The security deposit plus simple interest was sent to the new Property Management Company (CK#[redacted] $1,348.78; $1340.00 Security Deposit amount received + $8,78 Simple Interest - [redacted]. Attn: [redacted], [redacted], MD [redacted]).Attached is a copy of our filing against the complainant for breach of contract.;If yon have any questions or need further information (i.e. evidence, documentation, witness statements/testimony) please feel free to contact us in the office, Respectfully,
