8 days ago my husband and I went to apply in this apt. We gave all our personal documents, deposit, and the "background" verification charge. today I tell my husband to call because it is rare that they do not call to say if we qualify to live in this place and the very cheeky tell us that you do not qualify because my husband charges a lot of money (which is little) this is not supposed to Do you verify it before applying? Is it really that they want to steal money from us? I'm going to open a case today
