Found an apartment I want but the one available will be in March so I can't see the exact apartment I would be getting. They only hold the apartment after signing the lease, which means I'm automatically bound to that agreement before even seeing the apartment. Anyone know if this is the norm these days?

no way in hell would I sign a lease without seeing the apt. would you buy a car without looking at it? -

Nope. I wouldn't do it. Some places do a "look and lease" and hook people like this all the time. They'll show you one similar and give you a better deal if you sign that day. Always see the exact apartment you are getting before you sign anything.Comment

Ok well my gut feeling was to say no, but I haven't been in an apartment in years, duplex was last place.
She said well what's holding you back? I said not seeing the floorplan and the exact apartment, she was able to show me the floorplan of another tenant (different apartment), they were nice enough to oblige. Still was not the exact apartment.Comment

Absolutely Not!! I am an assistant Manager of an apartment complex and we would never ask anyone to do that. We take a deposit, have you fill out the application and as long as you put money down then we hold the apartment. You don't sign the lease until you move in.
I would be very leery of anyone trying to do that.
Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions that I might be able to help with.sigpic
