I looked at this property among others in January 2017. I thought it looked great and wanted to know more. I called and talked with the staff. They were having a special in February and I decided to fill out an application for the property which cost $45 bucks, as well as a $200 deposit to reserve an apartment. I was approved and had two other people apply with me for a 3 bedroom. Once we were all approved to live at the property based on income and credit, we were given a rental rate and a
...deposit amount if we wanted to sign a lease. Well, after a couple of days of thinking about their price, we decided not to sign a lease and live here after all. So I lost $245 bucks, no big deal. I never signed a lease. The surprise comes when one month later Pacific View called me and said there was an overdue balance on my "account." I asked what for, and they told me that the two people I had applied with (separate applications!) never paid their $45 application fees, and I was obligated to pay it. I was shocked and asked how in the world I was responsible for their application fees. They tried to tell me that we were jointly responsible. I never signed anything to that effect!! All I did was apply for the property! I paid the $200 on my own as well! The rep that I was talking to on the phone understood and told me that I didn't have anything to worry about, but that it was a standard call he had to make. He understood that it shouldn't be my responsibility and that I never agreed to that, never signed any documents agreeing to such. Well another surprise now in April; I get a call from a collections agency! I have a bill for $90 from Pacific View, that they have sent over for non-payment. Now this is going to affect my credit, as if I am delinquent on a bill in my name! I am so over this place, I can't believe the inconsistency and greed! I didn't mention that throughout the process of applying and talking about the property, the leasing managers and reps did come across very money-hungry...but I decided I could get past that because the place was really pretty.
Just a forewarning for those out there even just INTERESTED in Pacific View. Don't give them any money unless you're sold. Don't even apply unless you are for sure going to live here. And even then, beware you probably won't get your deposit back when you move out, and they may be charging you out the wazoo the duration of your stay.
