This was the most invasive and frustrating apartment application process I have ever experienced.
I expected to provide the standard documents such as proof of income, identification, employment verification, and rental history. Instead, I was repeatedly asked for more sensitive personal information even after submitting a complete application package. By the end of the process, I had provided my Social Security number, employer verification, landlord references, two years of W-2s, two years of tax returns, five months of pay stubs, bank statements, copies of my driver's license and Social Security card, and a detailed balance sheet listing my assets, including cash, brokerage accounts, vehicles, and cryptocurrency.
Despite promptly providing everything they requested, the requests for additional documentation continued with little or no explanation of why my previous submissions were not sufficient. Every time I thought I had satisfied their requirements, another request appeared. The process felt endless.
Communication throughout the process was poor. Questions were not answered clearly, and when I requested contact information for a supervisor to discuss my concerns, I was not provided with it.
I understand that landlords need to verify applicants. However, there is a point where due diligence becomes unreasonable. No apartment application should require applicants to surrender this much sensitive financial information without a clear explanation of why it is necessary.
I have rented before and have never encountered an application process this excessive. I cannot recommend E & G Management based on my experience. If you decide to apply, be prepared for an unusually burdensome process, repeated requests for highly sensitive documents, and a lack of transparency from start to finish. read more
