Business ProfileforAble Property Management

I went into able properties 04-16-2024 at 3:30pm. I paid $40 for an rental application ******************************************. I completed everything before I left and they verified my information successfully. I went to see the property and it was NOT ready as of today 05-16-2024 it is still NOT ready. They asked me to come in and drop off the deposit to lock in the property which I declined to do so as their property was NOT ready. I asked for them to call me back when it was ready and they assured me after speaking with management it would be ready by 05-15-2024. The manager was very rude and at first so was both the reception ladies but they became more friendly as we talked more. I called a few days after like 04-25-2024 and they told me someone else dropped off the deposit and the property was off the market. I checked back over the course of a month to see if they had any other ready move in property and they did not as all of them had "pending applications". I called today and asked about the same property 05-16-2024 as it is back in the market on their website and according to them still NOT ready they want another $40 to verify my information at is has been past 30 days. ?????? I asked the lady ******* if she could call me back and verify with management that I did have to pay again and she did not. I want my money back I also want money back I wasted in gas and leaving work early. NONE OF THEIR PROPERTIES ARE READY to move in and that VIOLATES California law in regards to collection of rental application fees. "Refrain from charging fees if there are no rental units vacant at the time of application. If the landlord uses the screening fee to obtain a tenant's credit report, they must provide a copy of the report upon request (California Civil Code 1950.6).Jan 12, 2024" Very unprofessional, rude and breaking California law company. I hope if I at least dont get my money back others don't fall for their scams.
