if you are renting property and you already know that you are not gonna rent to felons why make us pay application fee and go through unnecessary paperwork and hopes. this is what happened to me at broadwater townhomes in chester,va. and i had to pay application fee for 18 year old daughter too now is this a rip off or what.

david the application asks if you have any felonies relating to drugs or child abuse but the property manager told me out of her mouth that it was passed down from the vhda that any felonies no matter what type or how long ago

consider it part of your "debt" to society.

I always knew that felonies had more long-lasting impact on one's future than just prison time and fines, but, not having committed a felony, I never knew just how many ways, etc., that a felony could cost you and yours in the future. I guess it depends on your point of view, and I can surely understand your point of view, but getting mad ain't gonna change things, so, somehow you have to "deal with it", kinda like I had to deal with continually getting a bad credit report when I tried to rent a place in Ohio about 8 years ago. I KNEW I had excellent credit, but my report kept coming back bad, and it cost me $50.00 everytime I applied to rent a place and they ran a credit check. Finally, I called some credit reporting place in that State, and found out my problem was something my stepson had done while in college, and he wasn't even my stepson at the time since his mother and I hadn't married at the time of his mess up. How in hell they got my name involved I do not know to this day, but it eventually cost me about $250.00. When I finally got through talking with the young lady at the credit reporting place, she understood my predicament and promised to repair my credit rating, and she did, and I finally got a place to rent, but it still cost me $250.00 due to my SOB step-son, who now sells drugs for a living (he's a pharmaceutical representative/salesman). He don't know ****, but he's making a lot of money pushing drugs, the legal kind, to all the doctors around. God help us. God Bless you.

It is and it isn't. If they never gave you any paperwork (like the application) that had fine print then it is. I bet the fine print on the paperwork you filled out has limitations on it that becomes your responsibility to read.
If not they should have said something and you should demand your money back.

When they say they are going to do a background check and the form asks about criminal history you can pretty much assume that is where they are going. You can ask them questions. Questions are free. If you know (or at least should have known) that the background check is not going to go through, why pay for one?
