There are growing concerns about Morgan Properties' handling of security deposits. Reports have surfaced describing cases where tenants faced withheld deposits, vague post-move-out charges, and limited or no communication when attempting to seek clarification. While comprehensive statistics are lacking, preliminary feedback from tenants suggests this may not be an isolated issue.
One such case involves Mr. Vitalii Ivanenko, a former resident of Kenton Place Apartments in Cornelius, North Carolina . After vacating his unit, Mr. Ivanenko received a final statement with nearly $2,000 in charges deducted from his security deposit. Despite multiple written requests for clarification and justification, both he and a third-party advocacy group, Freedom Person, received no meaningful response from Morgan Properties.
Instead, the company issued a brief statement citing confidentiality policies as a reason for refusing to discuss the case — even in the presence of written authorization.
Freedom Person, an independent human rights initiative, has partnered with ProfitDwelling.com to launch a public information campaign aimed at documenting similar experiences across the country. The goal is to assess whether this is an isolated issue or part of a broader pattern of questionable deposit practices.
"We are not just talking about one tenant," said a spokesperson for Freedom Person. "We're hearing echoes of the same tactics — vague charges, no itemization, and silence when tenants ask for transparency. That’s not just bad customer service. It could be systemic abuse."
ProfitDwelling is now inviting tenants who have faced similar experiences with Morgan Properties to share their stories confidentially. Submissions can be made through Freedom Person's email:
The campaign will include:
-
Publication of anonymized case studies;
-
Legal commentary on tenant rights in various states;
-
Outreach to consumer protection and housing rights organizations.
If you’ve been affected or know someone who has, your voice could help bring change.
Tenants deserve transparency. Security deposits aren’t a bonus for landlords — they are a legal obligation.
