LPA reviewed R1’s file and observed that R1 is set up on an auto withdrawal and month of July 2025 was skipped but paid in August 2025, therefore, the month of August had 2 charges. LPA interviewed 6 staff and each denied the allegation, interview with S1 revealed that there was an error in the month of July 2025 where several residents including R1 did not get charged, during an audit in August the error was discovered and residents were informed and each (including R1) agreed to pay in the month of August. S1 stated since that error was found their procedure for auto payments have changed to where now instead of staff manually inputting the information to authorize the withdrawal each month, those on auto pay are now electronically on a payment plan where funds will be withdrawn automatically with no need of staff manually processing payments. LPA interviewed 11 residents and 10 of the 11 residents denied the allegation and stated that they have not had any issues with their rent and have never been over charged.
