I applied for an apartment in Cambridge, MA. I provided a bank statement with $75,000 in my account for an apartment that only needs $20,000 rent per year. My credit score is 700 which is above average. My parents have an annual income more than $300,000. No negative report, no criminal history. The company turned my application down for no reason and will not give me any details over the phone. Now, since I am not in Boston area anymore, I am not able to find an apartment in August when school starts. I am wondering what criteria is this SafeRent company looking for and I seriously question their fairness and accurateness in the screening process.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
I applied for an apartment where I already have an apartment with the same corporation but just at another location. I was denied based off what SafeRent provided to the apt complex. I never received a letter indicating why. All of my credit scores range in the 700's. All of my loans and credit cards are paid on time monthly. I even got approved for a loan to buy a house but couldn't find one I like in my area. I didn't want to move from the area that I'm in now because my kids are still in school. I have a good rental history but do not understand why I was denied. I find that after search the internet there are numerous people going through the same thing I'm going through. This company needs to be shut down or have a better way of making decisions.
I believe landlords who post information on your credit report is black balling you. If you went to court and is being evicted after disputing them for their unfair practices, you should not be on this list. They should not be allowed to destroy your life and pursuit of happiness to move to another site. Especially if they are one of the worst landlords in America.
This company linked my identity with another individual's identity. The person who they linked me with, had a rap sheet a mile long, including bomb threats and sexual assaults. Their business practices are deplorable, and they should be shut down. We ended up not getting a rental as a result
I was denied from renting an apartment resulting from a denial from Corelogic Safe Rent without a valid or inaccurate reason. I just bought a car through Chase Bank, so I know my credit score is fine. I also have personal loans that have perfectly paid and I do not have a criminal record. These companies' practices are not only unfair; their practices are also inaccurate as well.
I have $45,000 cash in hand ready to purchase a manufactured home in Thurm's Mobile Home Park in Calverton, NY. The park is touted as a 55 and over retirement park, yet applications must be sent to First Advantage Safe-Rent for approval. To make a long story short, I was denied for no reason because First Advantage never contacted any of my references, yet had the nerve to deny my application because I am receiving social security benefits, which they claim is not an income. Apparently, a retired person needs to get a job before applying to these "retirement" communities. A search on my credit reports shows that I have a credit score of 650. The lot rent at Thurm's is $200 less than what I pay at my current mobile home park. It would actually be cheaper for me to live there.
My realtor and the park manager (Patty) are standing behind me on this. They tell me that nobody has ever been denied an application to Thurm's. First Advantage blames Morgan Management (the park's owner) and Morgan Management blames First Advantage for this determination, so this tells me that neither side wants to take responsibility; an admission of guilt. An internet search shows numerous lawsuits from scams and libel that were generated by First Advantage Safe Rent. Who are they to judge anyone?
Prerecorded phone announcement (888) instructs one to download dispute forms online at residentscreen.com, which is not a working website --- another scam. In the meantime, I may lose out on the home of my dreams. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I am not allowed to purchase my home in cash because of these idiots!
Don't know why I was denied at Winsor Harbor Apartments. I don't have a criminal background, no court charges, or jail time. Please tell me why I wasn't accepted asap, thanks. Is there any way that this can be reversed so I can reapply at Winsor Harbor. Denied for approval for an apartment by First Advantage Safe Rent Inc, Brice.
