The Wyndham Apartments at 5240 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL Charged me application fee of $51.13 without telling me upfront that you had to have income of 3 times the rent they asked for Chicago ILLINOIS

IF YOU WANT TO RENT AN APARTMENT, THEY SHOW IT TO YOU AND ASK THAT YOU APPLY AND PAY $51.13 TO APPROVE YOU.  AT NO TIME BEFORE YOU APPLY OR PAY THE FEE DO THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN INCOME OF 3 TIMES THE RENT.  THEREFORE, IF THE RENT IS $1100, THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE OVER A $3,000 INCOME, SO AT THAT TIME, AFTER YOU HAVE PAID THE APPLICATION FEE, YOU ARE THEN TOLD YOU DON'T MAKE ENOUGH TO RENT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT CREDIT HISTORY AND A LONGTIME HISTORY OF OWNERSHIP OF CONDOS WHERE HISTORY SHOWS YOU ALWAYS PAID YOUR MORTGAGE ON TIME.  THEY HAVE TO TELL YOU UP FRONT ABOUT THEIR INCOME REQUIREMENTS, WHICH, HAD THEY TOLD ME, I WOULD NOT HAVE APPLIED TO RENT.  THIS IS A FRAUDULENT WAY OF BEING PROFITABLE.
