Malek Management

I spoke to someone by the name of Kaisa and was told to get copies of the cashed checks as proof that I send out the payment for my rent. I had to pay $18.00 for each copy of the checks that I sent for the month of February that include my garage fee also. The copies from the checks was send to Kaisa indicating that the rent was sent out and that someone wrote over the checks on 2/8/2021 to pay their rent. I should not be responsible for this issue, I have lived at 2401 Nostrand Ave. for around 25 years with no issues. This is the worst Malek management, and I waiting for the issue to be resolve or we have to escalate this issue.

Sincerely Your

C Sandford

This is a response to the complaint of [redacted] which was sent to my office along with your transmittal form bearing complaint ID #[redacted]
[redacted] complains of not having had his security deposit returned to him. He does not, however, reveal the fact that in the...

years that he lived at the building we manage, he failed to execute a renewal lease which was properly tendered to him, or to pay the increase due after his initial lease expired. He admits this in his complaint although he is wrong when he refers to having paid "adjustments of the annual rental increases." 
We therefore believe that it was legal for us to retain the security deposit.
Yours truly, 
Malek Management

Review: I was a tenant of an apartment at the [redacted] and [redacted] building of which I exited the premises--apartment emptied and keys returned--by July [redacted] 2014.

After several phone calls, voicemails and written letters, Malek Management has failed to refund my security deposit. I know that the landlord must return the security deposit, less any lawful deduction, to the tenant at the end of the lease or within a reasonable time thereafter. It's been well over 60 days without even so much of a returned phone call, let alone any reasoning or itemization what so ever for not returning my deposit. I suspect that there should be no reason I should not have my money in full since a landlord may only use the security deposit: (a) as reimbursement for the reasonable cost of repairs beyond normal wear and tear, if the tenant damages the apartment; or (b) as reimbursement for any unpaid rent, and there is no such basis for either instance. There is not even a grounds for a break in the lease, seeing as no lease agreement was ever signed since the single annual lease of 2012. The rent, however, still remained to be paid in full on a monthly basis and remained to be accepted accordingly (without ever giving notice of any eviction nor otherwise) until I left the apartment in question--remaining a Tenant at Will until then. There isn't even a grounds of not having notice of my moving to another apartment (nor grounds for not knowing the new forwarding address) , seeing as I provided both a verbal and written 60 day notice and remained to pay the rent continually until then.

I have substantial evidence of no damages to said apartment, as well as, evidence of consistent on-time payments of said rent (including the adjustments of the annual rental increases). I have filed a complaint to the NY Attorney General as well as this notice to the Revdex.com. At this point while I a still await my deposit, I am making arrangements to go to small claims court. I am ready and willing for this issue to be resolved outside of court at any time. However, if the resolution is anything other than me receiving my security deposit in its entirety, the only solution is, and will be, small claims court. I will have my deposit returned to me as required by law one way or another.Desired Settlement: Return of my $1275 Security Deposit

I never received a renewal for a lease until the April of 2014--of which I provided a prompt response of my moving in a timely fashion, and maintained rent up until that time. Had it been an issue of my retaining residence at said location they could have easily evicted me from the location or made sure I obtained a lease renewal, and there was never such an instance. I retained my residence in accordance with the law and paid my rent and security, with all increases as requested by monthly rent billing notices. I have proper documentation of my payments and am familiar with my rights as a tenant. As I said before I will see if the incident will be resolved--may getting my security deposit in full--by the Attorney General and have otherwise in place to see Malek Management in small claims court to see if a NYS Judge agrees with the terms of which they self-declared the right to retain my security deposit.
