Warning. Stay away from this place. Far away. Their applications standards are set extremely high, there is a very good chance you won't be accepted. For reference: I work in cyber security, and have a secret clearance. My credit score is in the 800s. I was declined an application, and the refused to refund my deposit, application fee, or administration fee. The reason they declined me? 4 years ago I was charged with an infraction (trespassing). Hardly criminal. I was still able to obtain my secret clearance even though I have this charge. The kicker? THEY RAN A BACKGROUND CHECK WITHOUT MY CONSENT. They used this to decline my application - no surprise there. Apparently they look for any little reason to decline your application in order to make money off of applicant fees and admin fees (and in some cases, the deposit). Applying for this place is a good way to throw away a few hundred $$. So not only did they RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK WITHOUT MY CONSENT. They REFUSED TO REFUND MY DEPOSIT (as an applicant, I hadn't even leased it!). It is sad really, I tried really hard to just get them to accept the application, I was willing to overlook the fact they illegally ran a background check... but they refused to work with me at all as soon as I had pointed it out, and even requested I pull the case records from the local DA in order to get approved... Seriously? This is an apartment rental, not a job with the CIA. I will update the review as soon as the civil case I'm filing against the management company ends. It is illegal to run a background check without consent. It is illegal to refuse to refund a deposit for an applicant. It is illegal to discriminate against applicants and decline them for NO REASON. The charge isn't even related in any way to real-estate. These guys have very immoral business practices, stay away from them. They'll just decline you and take your money. You have been warned.
