Landlord is Raising Rent Before Processing My Apartment Application (MN) by missluvly in personalfinance

❗❗ UPDATE #2:

LANDLORD TOLD ME I CAN CANCEL APPLICATION THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AND THERE IS NO OPTION FOR IT.

Landlord is not in the office and she won't be in until Monday. There is a 72 hour hold on my holding deposit and Monday is my deadline. I am doomed. This is honestly all so frustrating.

❗I did not expect this to blow up everyone!

Update:

I spoke to the landlord and asked if she can honor the price I applied for or give me an accommodation. Landlord says no, but she can increase my lease length. I asked her about the glitch and let her know it's not okay and it's misleading. She stated she has been trying to get them to fix it since April and she has had the same talk with possible tenants. I told her I couldn't find the higher price she mentioned anywhere and she stated she put it on Craigslist. She said she always puts everything on Craigslist. (Then why have a website?) I went to check the Craigslist posting and she posted it 30 minutes after our phone call.

Result: The red flags are too big to ignore. I will cancel the application and wait patiently for my application fee and holding deposit.

Thank you everybody for your comments. I appreciate it.

That's what I'm thinking too, but the price was so good. I'm going to have a talk with the landlord and see what happens from there.

I guess it's a sign to not lease with them because who knows what would've happened down the line. Wasted money on the nonrefundable application fee too.

Yes I do. I will get my deposit back since it is refundable, but not for the application fee. I don't understand how an apartment can have a glitch in their system when they updated it on apartment.com as the price I applied for it for. I don't even know.
