Williamsburg Apartments, Garland Scam Run To Gather Application Fees, Cost Me Alot Garland Texas
I had been watching an ad in the Greensheet for some apartments that seemed too good to be true for awhile, but it felt kinda fishy so never followed thru.... Well I finally did. Last Friday I went over by myself and as I got out of the car there was a fight going on in the parking lot the manager walked out and asked me to get back in the car. I told him that I was there to see a 2 bedroom, He took me into a dark unit and told me not to turn on water or lights and he then left. There was a weak spot by the front door and I tought no big deal, I was going to ask if I took the apartment then could I do upgrades and lite repairs. I could not see what the bedrooms or bathroom looked like because of the lights.
When I was done he was standing by my car and told me to get back in. The fight on the parking lot was still raging. He gave me an application and told me the app fee would be $40. I had an emergency call and had to head back home ACROSS Dallas. He even told me that he could get it approved by the end of the day. He saw my dog and told me how pet friendly they were. Wasted Trip Number 1
Trip number 2 I picked up my boyfriend so that he could check the place out and I could turn my application in. He made me fill the application out again and I told him that I was going to go grab the money and would be right back.....He did not tell me that they left at 2 pm. I was devastated. Wasted trip number 2
During the weekend my serpentine belt broke and I could not make it there, so Tuesday I hire a driver so I wont miss the boat again. The manager acted like he did not even know me! Then told me that application for a 2 bedroom was $80! Not 2 people just 2 rooms! Wasted day 3!
So I go back and start researching the place and find that there are 6 registered sex offenders there, they have an F with the BBB and Multiple reports with the Attorney Generals Office!
So Far this place has cost me over 100 in travel back and forth across Dallas and 4 days at $81 aday in a hotel when I tought I would have an apartment Sat.
It isnt a bad place just poorly run, the managers aparently are not on property much and the good tenants have to do their own repairs. I see a scam to gather app fees, then the people that do rent wont stay very long because of the poor conditions. I think that if drastic channges are not made the place should be shut down.
Which is a shame I wanted a home so bad and it was the only thing in my budget.
