Beware. Possible scam, or at very least a bully
August 17, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Beware of this landlord. Showed all of the signs of a scam. Offered apartment to us after applying, but tacked on $50 more than legally advertised price. We agreed, he insisted on having cash, which set off my red flags. I then negotiated to bring a cashiers check and meet with him to give him payment. He texts to cancel the day before our intended move date, which never changed from frost viewing to approval conversation and all. I called to see if we can reschedule and he just became the ...
most violently verbally abusive person ever. I was in such a state of shock, I was very sincere and was simply trying to work out a date to move in. But he was insisting on cash and would not commit to a date to sign the paperwork. It became him just screaming at me and not even letting me speak at all, he even hung up on me while screaming and then wouldn’t answer my or my roommates calls. I highly suspect this is a scam or an extremely unstable individual. I’ve never been spoken to like he spoke to me in my life, it was so bad I was literally shaking and couldn’t walk or speak to anyone for over an hour. I was so completely lost of words and confused on what transpired. Even if this isn’t a scam, this is who you’d be getting into business with. He’s not very forthcoming and even during the week he was “processing” our application he was non-communicative. I had to keep reaching out and he only answered calls or texts about 20% of the time.
