In my recent search for a rental residence, applications were submitted to this office for myself,…read morean adult grandson and an adult granddaughter. My grandson and I, but not my granddaughter, were approved to view possible homes. The reason given was because of her credit report. She does have a negative credit history, as she has been diagnosed with several medical issues that prevent her from seeking employment.
When I inquired as to whether we would be acceptable, if she no longer was to reside with us. The answer given by the receptionist was that only Scott could make that decision, and she would make that inquiry for us. When I phoned again four days later to learn what his answer was, I was now told that I would have to personally meet with him to learn his decision. However, I was advised that he was not available at that time. I left many phone messages after that, but none were ever returned.
Several weeks later, after I had finally accepted that I would not have further access to their services, I received a phone call from this office. I was told that there was a home in Mission Hills for rent where all three of us would be accepted as tenants. When I referred to their previous decision regarding my granddaughter, I was reassured that she would be approved. When I viewed the home, I began to realize what was going on.
This particular rental had been available for an unusually long time, and I could see why. It was a horrible place to call home. First of all, it is in Mission Hills, which is not the most desirable residential area. The tour revealed a kitchen that was a disaster, as were both the front and back yards. Just to prove my suspicions, I inquired as to whether there were any other rentals that would accept my granddaughter. The response to that, of course, was that there were none. It didn't take a genius to see that they needed to get renters for this unpleasant residence and, hopefully, I would be desperate enough to make that possible. Otherwise, they would have explained why all three of us were acceptable here, but not in any other rental. My granddaughter could not contribute financially and our source of income would remain the same, regardless of where we live.
I will never do business with this agency again, and I warn anyone else considering such an association to be very careful! Look for deceit and dishonesty under their artificial posturing!
