Anton Viridian Apartments - Oakley, California

Anne S.

Update: Anton Viridian apartments is a SCAM. Like what other people were saying they won't give back the holding deposit. They will take so long to process your application then after a while they will say they're going to cancel application and won't give back the deposit! Imagine how many people experience this and they make money out of it. We will complain to BBB for their shady business!
We regret applying in this apartment. They take forever to process things and they will not communicate with you so you have to call them to see how's the application is going. Very unorganized and sometimes they don't know what they are doing. The customer service is horrible. They said that they are in a new management but still sucks. Oakley is a great city to raise family and everything. However I would not recommend this place. You will just waste your time and will be stress in the process. I am now afraid of what other people were saying that they will not give back our deposit. Please consider applying somewhere else. Just a horrible experience overall!

I applied back in OCTOBER of 2023. I haven’t received a call back at ALL. I call almost everyday, and the women in the office are extremely shady. Everytime I call they say they’d reach back out to me but don’t. I was “interviewed” (they took only my application fee) twice! They didn’t show up for the first time and was late the second. Do NOT put any money down for an application nor for holding. They’re doing some shady business here. I have receipts for my application fee and want a refund for it. Don’t waste one penny on this place. It’s such a waste that newly built apartments are just sitting there. Hopefully they get better managers/employees running the office more efficiently and PROFESSIONALLY.

I am a very honest person who lives by the benefit of the doubt.
I applied to this property in January with an application I received in 2023 for the property. When I submitted my application, I noticed how much turnover they were having in the office. That was unsettling, but I still persisted. Fast forward a couple of days and I was wondering how fast my application could be processed, only to find out someone else has taken over the processing role. Now I was asked to bring documents that the other leasing agents never mentioned.
After time had passed, I decided I no longer wanted my application processed and asked for my "holding ' deposit to be returned. Then I was told that it was "nonrefundable". I always read things before I sign, and I completely understood the process. I have been trying to get my "holding" deposit since February 12th.
I have reached out to every email address I could find on their website. I will also be contacting legal aid.
This is ridiculous.
Someone even sent me a new document today 2/15/24, dated 2024 that has verbiage to prevent further applicants from requesting their "holding" deposit.

I just want my "holding' deposit back.

I am a recent single mother of two children, who lost my partner of 17 years, less than 12 months ago.
I'm trying to provide a livable space for my children, not get screwed out of $300. Had I known this was nonrefundable, I would have NEVER applied because I just don't have that kind of money.

Ugh, I'm just trying to catch a break!

I applied for these apartments, and the site staff along with the compliance team were all very friendly and helpful, quick email response, answered all my questions. I have no complaints , although I wasn’t even selected at this point . I felt very comfortable, and the process was seamless compared to most. They do need a lot of information, rightfully so, I was very pleased with my experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for a nice place to stay

Hi

I would I like to share my experience regarding Anton Viridian Apartments. The complaints from other reviewers are totally on point Anton Viridian gave me a move in date for September 2023, I've called weekly to find out what going on with the move in and was told PG&E is having problems with their transmitter another week went by and I called no one answered the phone another week calling no one answered, finally in October 2023, I was told again by Viridian office PG&E was still having problems with the transmitter so I decided to drive to the apartment complex and I saw Xfinity working in the complex and I was thinking how can Xfinity work if PG&E transmitters isn't working so I called and emailed the property manager no response. Finally I decided to look online for any information regarding my move in date and of course it was November 16th, 2023, no one from the office called or emailed me with this information mmmmm. Now take into consideration I'm still in my apartment and the lease ended on October 31 and I have not renewed the lease. In December 2023, I called finally someone answered and said I need approval from compliance and I have to wait to hear from them I thought I was approved. In January 2024, someone called and left a voicemail stating I have one day to informed them if I want the apartment or not I called all day and no one from Anton Viridian Apartments answered the phone. I decided to looked online regarding the status on my apartment with Viridian and found out the apartment has been cancelled how when no one answered the phone and the short notice I was given to respond and guess what I have NOT received my deposit back from what I'm reading legal action needs to file again this company.

I do have all copies of the emails and phone calls that I made.

Everyone is right. The office is shady, they did lost my first application and I didn't lose my deposit because I didn't deny the apartment and it do take about two months to get in. Now on the flip side of things. Where I live now is a HOT MESS. I am so GRATEFUL. I got to pick the apartment in building I wanted.
Those out in the world be ENCOURAGED better things are coming.

I helped a person with disabilities apply for a one bedroom and they lost my application twice and she was one of the first ones to apply that day when they opened up and started taking applications. Now they told the person to fill out another application and the rent went from $762 to $1595. because they said they no longer had 30% available. This is so crazy because she doesn’t make a lot of money. Very unorganized and keep changing their stories. Every time we go in to talk to somebody it’s a different person.

I helped another person family get their daughter in to a two bedroom and she doesn’t make a lot either and the monthly payment is $1595 which is a different amount for the other person for a one bedroom. There is no consistency with the monthly payments, and I’m starting to think that they’re taking advantage of these people with disabilities, not understanding the process and saying that they don’t have any 30 and 50% left all they have is 60 which is crazy. These people are young adults who want to live on their own and there’s no housing anywhere that is discounted so that they can afford having their own place.

I had no problems with any process, they gave me clear instructions and I asked all the question I could think of, my deposit was refundable if I wasn't approved, application was clear, they told me what I needed to bring ... I am very happy with how everything went.
