31 May: I started an apartment application process at ***************************************The manager, Ms ***** wanted my paystubs, Social Security award letter, car registration and proof of insurance.I purchased 2 money orders, the $40 application fee and $325 for the Refundable Deposit.I told Ms * that I did not want either internet or ** service. I would use a broadcast ** antenna. I might want internet later.7 June: I went to ************************* to sign.Ms * included charges for internet/** service in the contract. SHE'D D*NE EXACTLY WHAT I SAID N*T T* D*. I reminded her that I intended to use the broadcast antenna for free ** and that I didn't want internet at this time. She said it was against corporate rules to use any other device, just the ** service provided by ****. I said that broadcast ** is free to everyone, the antenna is the size of a piece of paper and sits on my ** stand. She might have thought it was a thing on the side of the building.She **** a line across the page and said she had to draw up a new lease agreement without that page. I said, what about my antenna? She said "Just don't tell anybody".She invited me to break a house rule from the start. I kept looking, found another place, and rented there instead.10 May: I informed Ms * that I wasn't moving into ****.17 May: I called **** about getting my deposit of $325 back. Ms * called me and said the refundable deposit wasn't refundable because the application wasn't cancelled within 48 hours. I reminded her it was SHE who caused the paperwork delay. Even so, how can they keep a "refundable deposit" if the first draft of the lease agreement didn't even exist yet? This scam makes sure that **** gets $365 ($40 + 325) from everyone if they sign a lease or not. The 48 hours expires long before the contract even exists.THIS IS A DECEPTIVE PRACTICE.It costs$365 to apply if you don't go through with the lease, not $40.I want my $325 Refundable Deposit refunded to me.Thank you.
