They will give you the run around
I applied for an apartment on July 5th with a scheduled move-in date of July 15th. Throughout the entire process, communication was inconsistent and unprofessional. Despite repeated calls and messages, I was constantly told someone would get back to me so I could complete the remaining requirements, yet no one ever did. On July 14th, just one day before my move-in, I was told my application still wasn’t ready, even though I had submitted all the required documents well in advance.
The leasing... office repeatedly shifted their requirements after I had already complied with them. I provided everything they asked for; proof of income, bank statements showing available rent funds, check stubs, etc. Yet they continued to ask for more, in a way that felt invasive and unreasonable. When I asked for a standardized list of requirements, I was sent an unprofessional, typed-up list that did not appear to be official, which raised further concerns about fairness and consistency.
They also pulled a bait-and-switch tactic with the apartment unit. After locking in a specific unit and rate, I was later contacted and told that unit was no longer available only to be offered the same exact layout for a higher price. It felt misleading and exploitative.
Overall, this experience was not just frustrating, but felt discriminatory. If you value transparency, professionalism, and basic respect during the rental process, I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand how important communication and clarity are during the leasing process, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t align with your expectations.
Our application and screening procedures are... guided by specific requirements to ensure consistency and compliance. In some cases, additional documentation may be requested to complete the process. We do our best to clearly outline what’s needed, and we appreciate your efforts in providing that information.
As noted on our website, pricing and availability are subject to change until a lease is signed. We understand this can be frustrating, but it’s a standard part of the rental market and not uncommon during times of high demand.
We take all feedback seriously and use it to strengthen how we serve prospective residents. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please don’t hesitate to contact the office directly. Thank you.
