The lady that took my application was pleasant.
However, it was after getting a cashiers check for a deposit PLUS another cashiers check for 3 months rent, that I was informed that we were denied the rental. Why? No clue. Nobody could tell us and apparently the one who screened our application was not there at the office and could not be bothered. Yes. I got both checks back. But it's safe to say probably wasn't a great idea to start with. Simple fact of them requesting the application fee (non refundable which is customary), 1st month rent AND deposit when you turn in the application (not even approved yet, no lease signed etc), is a red flag. Please research and don't waste precious time like I did.
