Business ProfileforUp Realty LLC

This company is predatory at its core. It baffles me that they’re allowed to continually scamming people out of their money. I put down a $500 deposit for an apartment to secure it. Earlier today (04/26/24) I was informed that my application process fee had been bounced because of insufficient funds. I did not input the incorrect information in my bank details. I had plenty of funds in my account at the time. For that, they tacked on an additional 100+ dollars to my deposit, and barred me access to the online payment portal for three months—I hadn’t even moved in yet and they were already trying to extort more money from me!! I had read several reviews from people saying that they withhold people’s deposits because they only return it “if you’re not accepted for whatever reason.” Other people have had their deposits returned to them after having cancelled their application. This is not a security deposit, this was a partial deposit to secure the apartment. I want a full refund of my deposit. I want this company investigated for extortion and scamming. This is not good for anyone except for the business owners. Hard working people are being scammed out of their money ACTIVELY by these people.
