Dear Ledic Management Group,
Subject: Application fee
Saturday August 27th I went to your property, Preston Hills, in Buford GA. I was looking for a two-bedroom apartment. I walked through a couple on a previous occasion, the location was right, and I liked the floor plan. I thought this was the right move; therefore I filled out an application.
I recently went through a bloody divorce, which resulted in bankruptcy. I was very up front and honest about this fact. I even provided a copy of the bankruptcy discharge. I was assured Preston Hills could work with that, and I would probably have to pay a high security deposit. I could work with that.
Bells and whistles should have gone off in my head when I was told they do not accept a personal check for the application fee of one hundred dollars. I proceeded to go to the Quik Trip and obtained a money order for one hundred dollars, and presented it to the staff at Preston Hills.
I was less than happy when I was advised Wednesday August 31st that they could not rent to me due to my bankruptcy. I was very honest when I applied, the management staff knew of my bankruptcy, and discharge date. This was very unethical and maybe even fraudulent. This seems to be normal operating procedure for this property as my ex-wife explained they did the same thing to her. This sounds like a lucrative scam you are perpetrating.
I was offered an apartment if I paid for a year in advance, I simply could not due this.
I called the property and left a message to have the property manager call me, and as one would guess, I never received a return call.
The entire incident caused me to have to pay for one month of rent for my storage unit, and I had to stay in an extended stay hotel for a week.
At this time I am requesting a total refund of my one hundred dollars.
