Akoya apartments

Hello all!

I had a strange experience with the Akoya in Portland OR and wanted to see if anyone else had something similar happen.

After touring the building my partner and I ended up returning the next day to view the units again. The leasing agent had mentioned a crazy deal on an apartment had opened up and wasn’t even listed on the website yet. The tenant had broken their lease and submitted their notice to vacate. 11th floor “penthouse” style unit for low 1,600’s. A unit that typically went for 2,000 and up apparently. We had viewed the same floor plan but a few floors lower so we knew we wanted it. My partner and I ran home and waited for the listing to appear, then applied on it.

Our applications were accepted and we paid a deposit on the apartment.

We received a call from the lead agent at the akoya who said that the tenant in the apartment revoked their notice. They mentioned they could take the tenant to court but it would be a waste of time. The apartment we applied for and put the deposit down for was gone about a week before we were supposed to step into it.

They are currently trying to find a solution by pushing us into a different apartment but we are highly on guard about the situation.
