Dishonest or disingenuous?
When we went to the leasing office as potential tenants, we were told that the application fee was $150 and that the refundable deposit was $250. We indicated that we were not sure that this is where we were wanting to rent, but the rental price they quoted was a good deal, so we decided to fill out an application. We were verbally told more than once that if we changed our minds, then we would be refunded the $250 security deposit. Because we went with what we were verbally told, we did not... read the fine print on the application that stated that an approved application would mean that the deposit would become non-refundable if we decided not to live there. It is our fault for not reading this clearly, but we were clearly told something different than what we signed. There was not a question about whether we would be approved on the application, so the fault lies with us for trusting someone's words over what we signed. I would not recommend this apartment because during the entire process they continued to contact us for additional information that should have been collected at the time we filled out the application. I am writing this as a warning to future applicants to be sure that you are aware that you will lose your deposit if the application is approved and you decide not to live there.
