Angelica is the queen of bait and switch. She lists great sounding (but not TOO great sounding) apartments for rent on Craigslist and then insists you meet her at her office (dead giveaway that she's baiting and switching.) I was in a couple weeks ago...my roomate made the mistake of falling for this...so after she has us waiting outside in the cold for 10 minutes she arrives...and what do you know...the apartment you came in for, I just got a deposit on it! But she has another one for $500 more that she can show you. So today we are looking again...we didn't know it but we ended up calling about the same apartment from two weeks ago and it's Angelica. She wants you to sign paperwork immediately...god knows what's in that paperwork. She just is shady from start to end. If you refuse to sign your life away by filling out her paperwork then she says she doesn't want to work with you. This is from calling about an apartment that she has listed on Craigslist! Why can't we see the apartment without agreeing to work with her? She's shady. Avoid. I'd hate to see how difficult she is to work with later in the process. Seeing the place is the easy part!
