Discussion about 305 West 90th Street
Be very careful when dealing with this agent and company! They took my deposit and 80 dollars for a credit check, made me wait a week while telling me that the owner of the building was out of town and couldn't be contacted. They told me that the management company had approved my application and credit. On the last day of the week, I simply receive a email from the rental agent saying that the owner has decided to no longer rent the apt, and that I should come and pick up my deposit check. I got a simple "I'm sorry" when I requested a refund for my 80 dollar credit check. I Just felt they should return the 80 dollars seeing as they represented a rental that through no fault of mine, they could not rent!

I agree that refunding the fee would have been the honorable thing. Unfortunately, your application probably stipulated that no fees would be refunded.

Sometimes doing the RIGHT thing in business , has far more lasting positive effects that simply doing what you are legally allowed to do.

If you have the time and inclination, take them to small claims court. They deserve it.

So?
The application also was for an available apartment.
