Misleading: Double Security Deposit
The apartments were just ok. I took a tour. The problem was the entire place was being renovated when I toured. Didn’t look as nice as it seems. For some reason the guide failed to show all the amenities. She just showed the unit I’d be living in and made the whole process feel kind of pushy and rushed. She asked for a $100 deposit immediately to “hold the unit”. She explains that the security deposit may double after a credit check which I had no worries about since my credit was very good and... she said we should be fine. As papers are being signed she asks if me and my roommate if are first time renters, which we were. She failed to explain that since we are first time renters we were REQUIRED to pay double security. She made it seem like everything was just based off of our credit scores and normal security deposit would do. Now we are $100 short for nothing and feel misled for our first experience. Never again.
