My roommate and I applied and spent $100 in application fees, knowing that our combined incomes were below the qualifying maximum. My roommate works 30 hours a week, and I work 37.5. We were required to have employer statements from our respective employers on official letterhead, to include hourly wages, shift and weekend differentials, as well as the number of hours worked. We were provisionally approved, and provided $150 to hold the apartment. The monies would be credited to the first month's rent. The management company then informed us the day before our lease signing and move in date, that we didn't qualify for an apartment. They stated that it was because our combined annual income was $1000 above the maximum. When we contested this error in fact, we learned the management company had calculated both our hourly wages at 40 hours each, instead of the employer documentation stating otherwise. The management company stated that they calculate all wages at exactly 40 hours a week for every prospective tenant, despite employer documentation to the contrary. If that is the case, why must prospective tenants provide employer documentation with regard to hours worked? We are still waiting for our $150 holding monies. They stated that said monies would be refunded after "7 to 10 days." I called their office after 10 days, and left a message in lieu of no live person answering the phone. I have yet to receive a return phone call. The apartments are nice, but stay away. The management company is as dishonest as the day is long.
