Hello. this was yesterday on the 30th! my income is around $21,500. and thats after they did their special calculations. the guy tells me "you qualifiy for an apartment, but unfortunately we have none at this time. i guess he saw thre reaction on my face because he also says "dont get discoraged, i will call you"..........yeah right! but why call me in for a interview if you have nothing ?..i think they just have to prove that they keeping busy or they might lose their jobs......

May I ask when was this? As I went to my interview last Monday. They didn't mention anything about that.

This was yesterday on the 30th! he calculated my income. stated that the income range i qualify for, there are not any apartments available. so i have to be placed on a waiting list

Why does everyone always think theres some conspiracy going on? Do I believe that they should tell people in advance before they proceed? Absolutely ! But whose to say that how things are done is their call? Theres always a chain of command...it very well could be they're following the procedure thats given to them.

IDK maybe im more lenient (sp?) because ive had jobs where people thought I had more power than I actually had..theres been many times i've had to tell people look I agree with you but this is the order thats been given to me

@jkid. its not a matter of a conspiracy. its more like false advertisement. they ask you to fill out an application. then they call you for an interview and they tell you to bring all of these documents. you do everything they ask of you. to have them tell you that you qualify but there arent any apartments!!!! cmon man thats terrible!!!

@DrManhattan, I greatly appreciate your detailed information about the interview.

I have a quick question (all are welcomed to answer).
My income is in the range for the studio.
But i worked part time job for 5 months this year, from March to August, meaning, extra income. This was my second job.
Should I present them information about this part time job, even though i no longer work there?
Or should I just stick to my primary job, the one i currently have, which allows me to be in the income range they desire for studios?
