*Run away fast from The Palms in Sacramento!* *Let my headache and loss of money guide you away from here!* Scroll down to see all the *real* reviews that have multiple thumbs up not the fake ones from 4-5 months ago. Read the negative Google reviews of The Palms written by former employees, burned tenants, and people applying, like me.

Please save your money and peace of mind. These people are as bad and as shady and as dishonest as they come. They will act like they are not salesmen and then will try to scam you, move the goal post on you, and lie to you every step of the way. Here is my experience:

I toured an apt with the old leasing man, Cornelius. I told Cornelius that my application would be denied right from the beginning since I had no rental history in the last five years so I would need a guarantor, my mom. Sure enough, after the report and $200 for the holding deposit, they denied me since I didn't have rental history in the last five years but I do in the last 10. Also, he said my mom, who is a homeowner of 40 years, doesn't have rental history either, which is a flat out lie. This guy is seriously low wattage. Not only did he deny me, but in a weasly way say I would have to pay an additional deposit of $1440 on top of the base deposit of $500. What's the point of a guarantor?

------------*****PLEASE READ*****------------
So then he says I can take out a bond by an even shadier 3rd party company to cover the add on deposit. You want me to pay a non refundable $250 to a company that has a website that was made in Microsoft Paint so they will give you a $1440 bond for a deposit that you're gonna keep anyway cause, let's be honest, you're crooks, and so they will chase me down to get it? No.

I say, well I'm not doing anything like that and if I'm denied, then I'm denied and I want my $200 deposit back. *He actually says I'll give you the deposit back*! No less than 30 seconds later...GUESS WHO IS MIRACULOUSLY APPROVED AND DOESN'T NEED AN ADD ON DEPOSIT? And now I can somehow use my mom as a guarantor. Con. Artist. But a bad one at it.

I haven't decided to take them to small claims court yet to get my $200 back. I have witnesses of all my conversations with him. I am definitely writing another bad review for FPI Management, the parent company, and am definitely registering a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for shady business practices.
