I think this company is a SCAM
I think this company is a SCAM! I am currently looking for a place for my parents who are Senior citizens. I found a property that interest us and under this company. I reviewed the criteria which states: must make 3x's the rent, credit check, etc. Well first off- We put in an application which was $55/adult so we pd over $150 in app fees. They declined the application the next day! I asked why- they tell me do to my parents credit score! My parents don't use their credit because they really have not needed to! They are great tenants- pay their rent early every month, no evictions, never had a bankruptcy, any thing like that. They havent had to apply for a rental place in over 10 years. I asked 'Why wouldn't you all consider these factors?' Or at least give them the option to pay a higher deposit? Only then, they start throwing out credit score numbers! This is what they said 'My parents didn't meet the Resident score-the Standard Score should be 630 and for the score to be considered with additional deposit, it must be 610. Now, why wouldn't this be displayed in their criteria so people wouldn't be out of application fees! My parents don't have bad credit, they have thin credit. I feel like these companies collect application fees on these properties for an X-amount of time before they approve someone. Straight RIP-OFF!
