We had to put a deposit down to see our lease agreement, deposit was $1934. After reading the lease agreement we found some concerning items one of which was the owner has the right to install cameras to watch the comings and goings on the property. We have minor children and did not feel comfortable with a complete stranger having and viewing footage of our children. We declined to sign the lease. They kept the deposit saying it was up to the owners discretion. We requested the money back and the owner refused. What is the point of actually renting out the property when you can have a revolving door of applications with deposits and then not return them? Seems like a scam to me.

They changed the amounts of pet deposits via email. When we moved in, we had to clean the place ourselves, and then we found fleas. Instead of sending an exterminator immediately, they told us we needed to hire one and pay for it ourselves (as if they were bothered by our complaint). When we received the all-clear signal after our walk-through, they still charged us for things that we hired people to do beforehand, such as the yard work and carpet cleaning (despite the property manager’s expressed approval that w
