Review from the web

So I go to see an apartment at this place with a man who works there by the name of Harry. He shows me around and for how close it is to my current job it made sense. Told Harry I was interested. Filled out paperwork and told him I was excited for the future. He was polite and friendly at first but he stopped answering my texts. I had viewed the apartment less than a week before moving in. Days later he answers and says he rented it out. (Still available for rent online) Everything we had discussed in our meeting was on par with me having the place. I even had 3 months deposit on me for him. After filling out his paperwork I don’t hear back from him through text? I call right to voicemail. He texts me days later and says sorry the 1bedroom is rented but a studio is opening up next month!? Some nerve. Yah hold on after the first horrible encounter let me consider going back? After asking for a managers number to get a clear explanation he blocked my phone number. I’ve never dealt with someone so two sided and unprofessional. Apartment was nice but outdated. It made sense being close to work and my whole family relocating. This has set me back time and money. Clearly this guy doesn’t care about people trying to find a place to live. Or even have the decency to call and say hey we rented it. Which is a lie it’s still up for rent!
