I completed an online application that requested my SS# and income prior to viewing an apartment. I was never given a scheduling to see the specific apartment I was interested, in even after completing their rental application. Since completing the rental application, they asked for and received my SS# 3 more times by email, as well as the most current available bank statement, since I am a full time graduate student and have a years worth of funds set aside for rent. They then asked for a photo of the social security card, although the rental application and earlier texts and emails only asked for the social security number. They finally stated they needed the bank statement more current than the last monthly statement I provided (which is the most current), as the next statement would not be available for 3 more weeks. In the previous year, two other realty companies approved my application based on my credit score and agreement to pay rent for the upcoming year upon signing the contract. Again, I never was offered an opportunity to view the apartment before supplying critical information. They did deny my application-without even offering a visit to make a decision on even approving of the apartment for myself. Very frustrating, especially their circular argument of "how do we know you will pay upfront for a year with a certified check?". If someone presents the certified check or certified electronic transfer of funds-the answer is automatically given that the funds are provided and the renter is paid in full for that year. Orange Avenue Realtors seemed to have very consumer compromising practices. read more
