1538 S Lindenwoo……. Philadelphia PABeware of Landlord!!!!!!
Met this landlord on Saturday 16th of March. Looked at the house etc. He made it seem as if I Wld hv been selected to get the apartment. When I was leaving he asked me why I was late, I replied “there are a bunch of men standing at the corner so I took a longer way” mind u I was 6 minutes late. He insisted at least three times to walk me out and I insisted NO. When I got home on the said day I sent over all documents that he requested. 6 days past and I decided to text him to find out if I was chosen for the apartment or not. He replied and said that he would call me on Friday 22nd at 5pm. Saturday the 23rd of March I decided to text him again bcuz I was still waiting on confirmation, no reply. I then decided to call the person that referred me, to find out what’s going on, she got in contact with his brother who said that I would b contacted later that evening. Sunday comes and I get a text message at 9:30pm asking me if “he” the landlordcan call me to talk in the next 30 minutes. I looked at the message and did not reply bcuz who does business that hour of the night. On Monday 25th of March, I replied to the text message stating that I am normally in bed by 8:45 and he can call me during work hours, he replied yes and said that he would call me on my lunch break to “talk”. At 12:15 I received a call from the landlord, he says he is outside my job and asks if I can come out and talk to him. I walked out there with a shocked look on my face bcuz WHAT LANDLORD shows up to a renters job??? He asked me for privacy to talk. I walk him to the back of the office. He then says that the reason he took so long to contact me is bcuz my report came back with a fraud alert. I looked him dead in his eyes and said “ that cannot b true!!!! I am a law abiding citizen and it must b an error with my social. He started asking me who was moving in with me. The same questions he asked me on the 16th, which I was clear that it was my father and I alone! He then asked me if I am running from the govt bcuz I am illegal. I said sir I work for the government, they do FBI clearances every two years, I have been at this company for over 5 years. I asked him if he wanted to talk with my supervisor, he declined. I asked him why he took so long to contact me bcuz I would hv corrected it bcuz it has to be an error. He said he does not normally show up at persons job but he wanted me to get the apartment and he was in the neighborhood so he decided to stop by. I replied I appreciate it bcuz I do hv to move by the 1st and that I hv my social card and everything that I can send over bcuz this has to b a mistake. When he left I decided to contact Transunion to find out what is showing on my account. The phone operator said that landlord need to b more clear but she Wld take a look. There was nothing about fraud on my account. I then called him with the operator on the phone so he could tell her what exactly the report says. He then said “ he does not feel comfortable talking with anyone on the phone. I said “no problem, can u send me the report so I can have them check it out. He said ok when I get home I’ll send it from my laptop. This was around 1pm. At 5:36pm I’m still waiting on the report. I text him asking for the report, no reply. At 7 pm I text him again. He replies I am at work I’ll call u in an hour. He then calls at 8:40 and says the report actually says wrong social security and that he’s going to go with someone else. The issue isn’t that he gave it to someone else but the whole situation is fishy as a female. I kept asking him why did he come to my job and the answer he gave was not a believable one. I sense a stalker or something and every female should b aware. He definitely had a motive!!!!!! NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL
