Noneman Real Estate Company recently purchased the Central Colony apartments. We have been looking for an apartment to fit our needs and budget for MONTHS and came across a craigslist ad for these apartments (even though I had called them a couple months back and they said they had no apartments available at that time). They are large, 1,200 sq. ft. apartments with 2-3 bedrooms, 2 baths, central air, a balcony and included a washer and dryer IN the unit. I was surprised to see them going for $479/ month. What's the catch? The manager of these apartments had stated he had just started 4 weeks prior and had no experience. The complex isn't in great shape but wouldn't be hard for a new real estate company to fix up. It's right on Central Avenue but the back of the building leads into a nice neighborhood. The apartments hadn't been cleaned including the manager's "office" which consisted of a computer chair and the kitchen counter of an empty unit. We figured that they would clean everything and get it ready for us and we'd take the chance. We won't find a better deal... So we ask to apply. $30 application fee, per adult. They ran our credit and my military police boyfriend with a veteran status of 20yrs had a situation 7 years ago when he had to sign over his then lease to his then girlfriend so he could leave for the army and she was evicted while he was gone. Why he was listed in the eviction, we don't know, but he wasn't charged with anything. We have paperwork from his old complex who still has the same manager and her complete cooperation in the matter. She remembers how good of a tenant he was and was willing to give him a good reference. Noneman Real Estate took our money and jerked us around for weeks, seeing how far we would go with the matter. We kept getting polite responses that they would call and clear up the matter and work with us on this. But never did. We finally got a call from this new apartment manager saying he felt terrible but they wouldn't rent to us and were just seeing how far we would go. He also stated that we didn't make enough money. They specifically stated we needed to make 4x the monthly rent, which I make on my own without my boyfriend's income. Then he stated we both needed to qualify individually. You'd think a couple grossing $4,000 per month would qualify for a crappy $479/month apartment. Noneman Realty is taking as much money as possible from application fees when they know they won't rent to the people they are taking the money from. It's a complete scam and I will NEVER rent from Noneman Realty. read more
