Another Lease Application Fee Lost -
Why didn't they just tell me I would be Rejected?
I hear this almost everyday. I can tell you FIVE REASONS this happens:
1. You may not be aware of all the issues with your criminal report. I have had clients who have information on their criminal records that really isn't correct - example: dates listed for probation ending that look like other convictions. I verify my clients Criminal Record for them, "FOR FREE". To Get Started Immediately, fill out the form, http://www.AptFindFelons.com/Find_My_FL_Apartment.html
2. You may not be aware of your credit information. In fact, their may be a problem with your credit report. That is why I request all clients to run a copy (you can do it for free if you haven't run it in the past year) at www.annualcreditreport.com.
3. The Leasing Agent may not really understand the law enough to advise you. For example, few agents really understand Deferred Adjudication enough to know that the charges are DISCHARGED or DISMISSED when you finish probation - it's as it the charge never happened.
4. The Leasing Agent may not completely understand the policies of the complex. This tends to happen most if he or she is new to the property.
5. The Leasing Agent may receive a bonus for Leasing and a bonus for applications submitted. This creates a situation where running applications generates income for the Leasing Agent. This may or may not be the case, but be aware that the leasing agent may not have your best interests at heart.
