I had a very disappointing experience with the application process at The Elms at Old Mill, particularly with the communication from the property management team.
When I applied, I was told that the application process would take approximately 24–48 hours. I was very serious about moving and was ready to move as soon as possible, with a planned move-in date of September 1. I submitted my application on August 2 and provided the requested documentation.
Because I needed an answer in order to make arrangements for my move, I followed up by phone that Thursday. I was told that I would receive an answer by Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. However, I never received a call, email, or any other update. I also sent emails and did not receive a response.
Today is August 12, and I still have not received any communication regarding my application. At this point, I feel that I was essentially left without any communication after submitting my application.
I completely understand that applications can take time and that not every applicant will be approved. What I do not understand is the lack of communication, especially after I was given a specific timeframe for when I should expect an answer. If there was a delay or an issue with my application, a simple update would have been enough.
I also did not feel particularly welcomed during my interactions with the leasing office. The overall attitude I experienced, particularly from the property manager, did not feel warm or professional and left me feeling as though I was not welcome at the property.
This experience also made me concerned about what communication might be like after moving in, when dealing with matters related to my home. If communication is this difficult during the application process, it raises concerns about how future questions or issues might be handled once someone becomes a resident.
Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend this community to someone looking for a responsive and professional leasing experience.
