SO CLEARLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, I was shown a property, I applied the same day...never heard anything back. I got one response a week later telling me they were still considering apps. I called that same day under a different name to inquire the very same TIFFANY BOULWARE said there were no applicants and was ready to schedule a showing with my fake alias.
clearly they are collecting application fees and flaking on the potential tenant. People are just looking for a place to stay and they out here scamming.
