My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: ohio
Ok, i didnt really know for sure how to title this topic, nor what topic.
Beginning of the month (10/1/14), me and my girlfriend checked out an apartment and decided to apply for it. We turned out application in that following sunday (10/5/14). We paid $100 for a holding/down deposit and $50 each on non refundable background/credit checks.
The 7th rolls on and the apartment complex called and told us that they were going to require a co-signer who has "better or excellent credit" as they had told us. Otherwise we were told the background check and everything came back fine
So my mother helped us out and co-signed for us, and i turned that application in on 10/14/14, with another $50 fee, i should add i turned the app in around 5:50pm, and their office closed at 6pm. The very next day on the 15th we recieved a call saying we were denied due to the criminal background check. Along with telling us this info, they told us theyd refund the $100 holding fee and mail it to us. They said when they ran our information a second time with our cosigner's something came up.
For the next week after we both had been recieving phone calls saying we need to come in to pick up the deposit fee after being told theyd mail it to us. Now on today, 10/28/14, i recieved what appeared to be a bill from said complex and it all had the typical bill things such as amount owed, deposit held, etc... and they were all marked as 0. But what really got me thinking was it said we were denied on 10/14/2014. Not on the 15th like they had told us. And the employee in charge of accepting or denying applicants worked 8-4 on the 14th. And they didnt the money order back for the $100 they they originally said they were gonna mail to us.
So, with the full story, i can imply myself from the details, we were denied prior to turning in our co-signers application and non-refundable fee.
So a few questions.
1. was it illegal for them to not tell us we were denied prior to turning in the co-signer's application?
2. Due to being denied prior to turning in the application, does the $50 non refundable fee have to be returned to us (feels like they had us turn it in under false pretenses)
3. They still hadnt mailed me the 100 deposit that is refundable. Me nor my girlfriend have time to go their to get it in person due to our work hours. What can be done about that?
