I honestly should ve just listened to the reviews. I was interested in a unit and was encouraged finish my application by to submitting a non refundable app fee of $35 and a holding fee of $200. I was told this was to keep a hold on my application. The lady I spoke with knew I lived out of state a will not be visiting/looking at units until the following week. After I paid, I was told they cannot hold the application for a week and that it would need to be processed in 2 days. Granted this was an oversight on my end - this clause is listed in the application guidelines which I skimmed over but it seemed very inconsiderate to me - especially since they knew my situation. I will get my $200 back because I told them to cancel the application but I lost $35 - when that wasn t necessary. I feel like I dodged some inconsiderate landlords, small growing pains but in the long run, a win for me
