I called Lynndale Apartments and explained my situation. I was transferring from a city 2 hours away and I would be starting a new business in the area. My credit history is good but with a new business, I wanted to be honest and upfront with my financial situation. Most importantly, I didn't want to waste my time, their time, and most importantly a hard pull on my credit report if they weren't interested in renting to me.
They told me to go ahead with the application. I did...and I
...waited...and waited...a week later I called to see the result: I was approved but I had to provide additional documents, which I was happy to do. When I asked if they had time to show me the apartments they said no they were already full. I should have called earlier in the week.
I should have called
I was waiting on their response! To which they told me. Sorry for the delay..."Its been a crazy week" Here is the timeline:
June 3rd - Application Fee Cleared my Account
June 7th - Credit Apps pulled for both me and my wife
June 10th - Still hadn't heard from them so I called
I don't care or want to know if it has been a crazy week. When I give someone my social security number and all of my personal info, I expect them to be a little more responsible.
I called today to see if there has been any progress. Even though I am fairly upset with this company right now, I'm stuck because I really don't want to have my credit pulled again, since they pulled both mine and my wife's. To which they told me to send my taxes...which I did...then they called back and informed me that the apartment has been rented
Either of 2 options has just taken place: Either they lied about renting the apartment or they didn't realize it was already rented. Either way, I suggest everyone stay far away from this place until they develop more responsibility or don't be honest with them in the first place. It's too bad really, because I think my wife and I would have really liked the apartment and facilities this place offers. But there are plenty of places where the management is a little more considerate and responsible.
Oh, by the way, they charged me $40 to lower our FICO scores about 8 points. Thanks a lot Lynndale Apartments. I was honest with you, you should have been honest with me!
