Smoketree Apartments

My girlfriend and I have been searching for apartments for her to live in due to a new job opportunity. We were told to stay away from Indio Ca. unless it was located in the southern part, and we found this place! Mind you this is our first time looking for an apartment.
The girl who showed us around was really nice and helpful, but maybe she was new because her coworker (Priscilla) kept jumping in and was really rude toward us. Just a know it all kind of attitude.
We left kind of unsure, so we looked at a few other places. The more we looked the more Smoketree apartments seemed right for us.
So we went back. When we got there we found out my girlfriend left her ID there, and they disclosed to us that they looked her up on Facebook (I understand they were trying to contact her, but I found it odd and a bit creepy).
We filled out the paperwork and turn in the deposit (which is only accepted as a money order), which wasn’t told to us beforehand. I was a little annoyed because that should have been mentioned to us, instead of us driving around to get a money order. When the paperwork was done we were told that once we were notified about the background check we would need to have a $ 500 deposit ready within 24 hours. We agreed to all the terms and left excited.
Monday morning my girlfriend was notified she passed the background check, and that a full months rent $ 920 was due in 24 hours. We were upset because we didn’t understand why it was so much. Priscilla of course was the one helping us. Instead of trying to find a different way of explaining things she just continued to say the same thing over and over again. She was extremely rude.
I couldn’t believe that she, who work at the leasing office, who is suppose to make you WANT to live there was such a jerk! I figured if she’s this way, the first person future tenants have to deal with, I can only imagine what the management is like! My girlfriend went immediately to pick up our deposit.
You want to fill your apartments with legitament people, then treat people with respect from the moment you meet them.
