Terrible leasing experience
I had a very disappointing experience with the leasing process here. I confirmed availability of a specific unit multiple times with staff over nearly two weeks (before and after applying), and even received the lease agreement for that exact unit. Then, less than a week before my scheduled move-in date, I was told the apartment was being reassigned to another applicant because they had applied earlier, but their application had apparently remained unassigned due to an internal error.
What made... the situation even more frustrating was the lack of communication afterward. This news was communicated to me by email at the end of the day on Friday rather than via a phone call. When I spoke to staff on Saturday, they had no information about the situation and still saw me assigned to the unit in their system. Both the leasing consultant and manager then failed to respond to emails throughout the long weekend and most of the following Tuesday.
Eventually, I called myself to withdraw my application and request a refund of my deposit and application fees. Hopefully, this will be handled in a timely manner.
Mistakes can happen, but the disorganization, poor communication, lack of accountability, and extremely short notice made this a terrible experience.
