I applied for a apartment that was already rented out. I was informed I would get my money back via money order and gave my current address since she was unaware it was already rented. I have sent several emails regarding this matter. Nobody has answered my emails nor calls. I would like my money back.

Mrs. Dunn is over property management. She is our landlord. She has proven time and time again that the renter means nothing to her. The air conditioner died in the middle of the summer and we were without ac for over a week. When I asked for a break on that month's rent, she actually said that if her air conditioner went out at her house that she wouldn't get any breaks so why should you! That really happened. Beware of this lady.
Update!!!!!!! 3 days after posting this we were told when our lease is up in March that they were not offering us another lease because "the owners wanted to take

POTENTIAL RENTERS BEWARE: Let me start by saying I gave two stars because the price of my rental was reasonable and the staff was very nice, if not for that then I would have left one star. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. The owner (Deta) was very unprofessional in our dealings and anytime I had a maintenance issue it took longer than it should have to get a resolution (see below):
gate latch broken (1 month)
washing machine (2.5 weeks)
sink leak (2 weeks)
without water (3-5 days)
Aside from that, pest control was included in my rent but never once did pest control actually come. I asked
