Trying to get a place in Westmount and after the $500 deposit, we are told to get verification for our jobs. There is 3 of us with one unemployed, 2 working and we gave them our pay stubs that they requested. A week and a half later, they are still 'working' on verifying if we have jobs despite holding physical proof of our employment.

I hope we can at least get that $500 back or this would have been a massive waste of time. If it wasn't for looking this up, I almost thought this company doesn't exist and we were being played by con-artists.
