Review of FPI Management, Inc.

Hi,

Hi,

My name is Jacob K. and I had spoken to you a couple years ago regarding a vinyl flooring issue / complaint at YARD in Portland Oregon. Basically, I had moved into YARD in Unit 611 in the Low Income via help from Veterans Transition Project for homeless Vets. The management was all different then when YARD first open. mentioned to maintainance that there were some parts of the floor that were wavey especially near door entry, if you got even the slightly liquid on it even cleaning the flooring would swell in the crevis. The maintenance guy said it's very cheap flooring like particle board. Eventually I decided to a different apartment in the same building because of issue. The management was going to charge me $3000+ for the whole replacement of the floor. I fought it and won with legal help and only had to pay 500+ for entry way which really was not my fault either. When I moved I went back to the new tenant of that apartment #611 and YARD had put in a whole new different type of flooring for the new Tenant that was so much better quality flooring and water proof material not like the cheap unreliable faulty partical board type flooring. I was shocked how sneaky they were about that!

I later moved again last year in YARD same building to the 20th floor unit #2006 for a small deck and better view of city. I noticed it had same cheap faulty flooring and there were some same waves in various parts of flooring but I was used to it at that time and really had stopped dwelling on the flaws considering past issue.

Well, I moved out this past August 3rd due to COVID 19 shutdown still looming & bad financial hardship related one my job loses in catering and food industry. I told manager that I could no longer afford to live there and she said she felt so sad about that for me. When I moved out I mad sure everything was clean as when moved in. There was normal wear and tear that just comes with living day to day and the carpet had got a spill stain in bedroom. Today I got letter in mail that they are charging me $1000 for minor painting carpet repairs and an outstanding $3000+ to tear out the faulty cheap partical baord flooring that I left in same condition as I had moved in! This is absolutely uncalled for and I don't want to have to escalate this issue regarding faulty cheap vinyl floor with a lawyer but I will again if I have to.
Thank you for your promptness concerning this matter.
