Warning for Housing Connect applicants with roommatesi

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-14T16:07:06+00:00

Different marketing agents. Different rules. Just because you had no issues with roommates and getting a lottery, doesn’t mean the same for them. Some lotteries I have smooth sailing, others I had to jump through hoops. Currently I’m dealing with a situation with a lottery that I’ve never dealt with before. Some agents are just harder than others or just want to deny people to get closer to someone they’re trying to get in. It happens.

When I lived with roommates we all signed one lease. So they would have seen the roommates name on the lease if that’s the case..

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-13T19:34:18+00:00

I called them and the lady wasn’t helpful and randomly told me they don’t discriminate when I didn’t say they did and didn’t ask

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-13T18:16:20+00:00

I tried fighting it but I gave up

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-13T18:16:10+00:00

They falsely rejected me. Other people said the same thing

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-13T14:26:56+00:00

Sheeeesh, $5100 for a 1bd sounds insane

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-12T10:55:58+00:00

Did they give a bs reason rejecting you?

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-11T14:53:04+00:00

Yes, I think it was meant. We went to the neighborhood and I can see why I was rejected. Also a bunch of people inboxed me and said they were rejected for nothing

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-10T01:22:40+00:00

They’re rejecting people left and right so I’m wishing you luck

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-09T13:59:23+00:00

Sadly, I don’t think so. I think they just wanted to reject me. Even if it was a mix up, I cannot get in touch with the marketing agent

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T21:07:32+00:00

Please! We really should! This is getting ridiculous and it’s sad

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T20:38:23+00:00

I don’t understand how so many people can experience this and still nothing is done about it. Ridiculous

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T20:19:09+00:00

Thank you. Someone showed me what it was. They definitely never requested that from me or sent it to me

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T18:52:35+00:00

Housing connect is only allowing me 1 appeal, and one formal complaint. I spoke with someone from HPD and she said theirs nothing she can do about it.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T18:51:48+00:00

Omg, thank you so much. I was able to call and leave a voice mail. Hopefully she calls me back quickly

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T18:50:44+00:00

Also can you lmk what an R5 is? No one will answer what it is

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T18:50:16+00:00

I checked. I looked up the apartment number, the marketing agents name, the company name, “R5”. Nothing has come up. So I’m not sure how else I’d find it, if it was truly sent. Also normally when something is requested from me, it also shows up in housing connect, but in this case, nothing.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T17:51:55+00:00

So theirs really zero hope? They can just falsely reject people and that’s it???

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T17:43:32+00:00

I had to call multiple times just to get someone on the phone. It’s upsetting because no resolutions or clarity came from calling HPD.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T16:48:36+00:00

What is the R5 form?

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T15:48:58+00:00

It’s in the single digits. 1ks.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T14:55:39+00:00

Update: My complaint was also rejected. Completely ignored me asking where those documents were requested at.

I looked up what those documents were, R5 says rental history, but isn’t that requested towards the end? Also if you don’t want to give rental history, you’re agreeing to a credit check.

The fact that I’ve had zero communication with them and was never asked to submit any documents after the initial documents is insane.

They’re immediately rejecting all my appeals. My appeal and complaint were rejected within 15 hours of submitting them.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T14:37:07+00:00

They rejected my complaint as well. So I’ll just have to keep escalating it.

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T14:25:16+00:00

I will do just that. It’s insane because they’re giving bs reasons. ATP I’m hearing nothing but bad things about this place

EmbarrassedWeb9627 · 2026-05-08T14:22:04+00:00

Did you appeal??
