[redacted] made us aware of the issue at his apartment later Monday afternoon on April 28th. I spoke with him twice the...

next morning, April 29th, and we had the maintenance team at his apartment working on the issue before 2pm that day. Maintenance pulled out all the appliances and cabinets plugging the one likely entry point that was found.
We also followed up that same day and sent Rose Pest Control, a professional pest control company, to the apartment to review our work and see if anything could be improved. Rose's assessment was the job was handled correctly.
It is very frustrating to see that our next day response (with both our maintenance team and the professional pest control company) was not a fast or sufficient enough response.
Finally, we coordinated with [redacted] ([redacted]'s roommate) and sent a professional cleaning service to the apartment to disinfect the entire kitchen and throughout the rest of the apartment.
[redacted]'s assertion that we were negligent in addressing the issue 6 weeks ago is incorrect. The issue was fully resolved the 1st time, with multiple sets of eyes and outside experts brought in. Once resolved no further instance occurred for close to six weeks. The fact that a new entry point was discover makes this a new event which, again, we aggressively responded with appropriate measures.
[redacted] advised us that he had recently bought a condo and wanted to move out early (around May 20th) and that he was looking for a rent reduction to move out early. I explained that unfortunately that is not how the contract everyone signed works. A few hours after I told him I wasn't going to give him free rent he sent this complaint to the Revdex.com which felt to us like an abuse of the your services and done as a tactic to obtain free rent.
We stand by the work we did and are ready to address any additional issues with the apartment that may occur. That being said, we feel no rent concession is warranted.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I acknowledge and agree that ICM promptly addressed the situation during this instance, especially compared to the first time a rat was found which took a week to resolve. We very much appreciate the timely response and cleaning of the unit. However, we still believe that the second instance should never have occurred.
During the first instance of a rat sighting, I emailed pictures to ICM of 3 holes that a rat could potentially come in through. One was a large opening in a closet, one was next to a pipe in exposed brick near the front of the unit, and the third was near where a pipe came through the wall to connect to a toilet. Of those 3 possible entry points, ICM and the exterminator only addressed one of them. Based off of that experience, I do not believe anyone did a very thorough check of the unit during the first instance. If a thorough check had indeed been done, I'm sure they would have found a hole behind the oven. This hole ended up being where the rat entered during the second occurrence (and may have been where the first rat came through as well). I should note, a trap that I personally set was the one that eventually caught the first rat, not one set by ICM or the exterminator.
After the first instance we granted ICM the opportunity (as they are allowed by law) to remedy the issue. We believe they did not sufficiently fix the problem. Just because we did not see a rat, does not mean the hole wasn't there the hole time.
I am insulted at the claim that I used the Revdex.com as a "tactic" to get "free rent". I never requested to live in the unit without paying ("free rent"); what I requested was the opportunity to move out of an unsanitary apartment. We have paid our rent in full every month, including this month. The reason I contacted the Revdex.com immediately is because when we had a different instance relating to damage our apartment received unrelated to myself and my roommate, ICM was not helpful for 6 weeks, until I finally contacted the Revdex.com. Not wanting this issue to take 6 weeks to resolve as well, I contacted the Revdex.com immediately.
As I previously stated, we have already paid our rent in full for May. We did this as a sign of good faith that the rat issue has been solved once and for all. Believe me, I certainly hope it is. As evidence, I have attached a picture of one of the holes I notified ICM of during the first instance that was never plugged by them.
In summation, I disagree with the assertion that the issue was fully resolved the first time. The "new entry point" was probably the same entry point as the first instance and I question the effort and/or expertise put forth to remedy the issue the first time. That being said, we have fully paid our rent for the month of May and intend to finish out the remainder of the lease unless there is another issue.
Regards,
[redacted]

I have spoken at length with [redacted] on multiple occasions, and I am very sorry that she took my firm answers as rude or...

uncooperative. I take issue with her assertion I am showing any sort of gender bias. I repeatedly gave her the same guarantee that we give every tenant (male or female) which is the answer written multiple places in our lease:

"Tenant(s) understands that the maintenance staff has up to 30 calendar days after moving-in and maintenance requests have been submitted to action all requests."

As [redacted] points out in her complaint against us, she understood the key lease provision of "30 days" for maintenance requests to be completed.

About a week after signing her lease, [redacted] called the office and spoke to two different people trying to get a verbal commitment to her desired repair timeline of doing the work "prior to the lease start or immediately at move-in." I was asked to reach out to her to try and come to an understanding about realistic expectations, and had a series of unproductive conversations. [redacted] repeatedly asked me to either do the work for her while the current tenant is living there or promise her that her move in list [redacted] be begun on "day one" of her lease. She repeatedly declared the apartment was "uninhabitable" and "not up to livable standards".

Firstly, it is burdensome and unrealistic to expect the current tenant to live through work she didn't request during the last days of her lease. That being said, in the spirit of collaboration, I agreed to ask if this was even possible and was soundly refused by our current tenant.

Secondly, a "Day one promise" is not something I can make and repeated that to [redacted] many, many times. We will have many tenants moving in on July 1st and will need to prioritize and schedule many work orders for new (and existing) tenants. Committing multiple resources to an immediate turn around for one tenant isn't reasonable or fair to all the other tenants.

After speaking with [redacted] about her concerns we promised to do a site inspection at the apartment. Yesterday morning, 6/15/15, our maintenance manager and I did a detailed walk through with the current tenant. I cannot dispute [redacted]'s claim that this apartment is going to take significant time and many hours to repair / clean up. We take great pride in being responsive to our tenants' needs. Our maintenance team does quality work, and [redacted]'s assertion that we don't care isn't fair or accurate, but a quick fix for this apartment isn't realistic. With patience and collaboration, I believe we can make necessary repairs with-in our 30 day window, but in light of how far apart [redacted] and we are on many points I am worried that [redacted] not be happy with our results.
Since we cannot give [redacted] her preferred settlement of having everything done before she moves in, and [redacted] doesn't want to live through the necessary work over the first 30 days of her lease, we are left with the last option of letting her out of the lease so she can find an alternative place to live that better fits her expectations. This option was discussed and offered previously. We know [redacted] is concerned with her timetable, but, to the best of our knowledge no action was taken by [redacted] at that time. We are happy to sign a release with [redacted] and provide a full refund of the $325.00 administrative fee.
We feel that asking us to pay any of her rent at a different apartment is an unreasonable request. That being said, in the spirit of resolving this, we are open to some sort of reasonable financial remuneration to help offset some of her additional costs.

We are sorry that a better compromise cannot be reached but hope, with your oversight, we can resolve this issue in a fair and reasonable manner.

ICM has responded multiple times to [redacted]' & [redacted] request for pest control. They made us aware of a rodent...

situation around 6/8 and we sent our team to bait and plug holes on 6/9. From that point on, for multiple weeks in a row we sent our maintenance staff to bait and trap at the apartment, in the common areas and around the building (work orders attached).
The few holes that we could identify were plugged with steel wool and we had our staff pull out the kitchen and put sheet metal across the wall behind appliances.
A rodent was caught in a trap around 6/25 and since then no other rodent activity has occurred or can be verified.
As a good faith gesture we already gave the tenants a rent concession of $100.00 towards the end of June. (ledger attached)

A few weeks later (7/10) [redacted] said he found a shirt that had gone missing that he insisted was chewed by new rats and he moved out. After an inspection, we found no new rodent activity at the apartment or in the common area traps or bait stations.
The roommate, [redacted], has confirmed that since the rat was caught 6/25 no other signs of activity have been seen at the apartment.

At this time we do not believe a payment is owed to [redacted] We have been extremely proactive in addressing this issue and based on [redacted]'s assessment, have done a good job responding and resolved the problem in a timely manner. [redacted] chose to move out early and thus no concession is warranted.

That being said, in an effort to resolve this directly, I have spoken at length with both [redacted] and [redacted]. While [redacted] is satisfied with our service, [redacted] told us verbally that he wants $400.00. While I strongly disagree and feel he is trying to use your services to bully us for the money, I offered, on behalf of ICM, a one-time good faith concession of $250.00 / $300.00 for the two roommates to share and [redacted] answer to me was that if he doesn't get $400.00 he is not satisfied. He has also made it clear that since he moved out, the money should be his alone. On our end, we will not write a check to [redacted] alone. That would penalize [redacted], the roommate that stayed and honored the lease agreement, and reward the roommate that moved out. If any concession is to be considered it must be to both roommates, so we seem to be at an impasse.

All things said and done, we have fulfilled our obligation in this situation, and consider the matter resolved.
We are sorry that Rich is unhappy with this and that a mutual resolution cannot be found.

Please let us know if further action is required.
