It's rarely the wrong apartment. It's a decision made on information that was wrong to begin with. 01 ### The listing is already gone Sites keep a unit posted after it's leased. They already got paid for sending you the lead. You find out after the drive, and the application fee doesn't come back. 02 ### "Two months free" isn't the rent The advertised number and the number you actually pay over the lease term are two different figures, and the renewal rate is a third. Most renters don't see the gap until the offer letter. 03 ### The screening answer depends on who answered Apartment screening is property-specific. Ask for the current written criteria and whether the community accepts a guarantor or another conditional approval option before paying an application fee. A larger deposit does not guarantee approval. We help compare the requirements with the information you share about your rental history.
