    Misleading advertisement

    They require mandatory application approval before you can view a unit. They fail to advertise or disclose after application, until denial, that the units are income restricted. They also wont share what those guidelines are. Their entire application process is a mess and waste time of real renters trying to find suitable housing for a family.
