Alert
On August 29, 2023, BBB requested background information, including ownership and the company's physical location. Requests were sent by mail and to enrollment@guaranteedapartmentapproval.com. To date, the company has failed to fully respond to BBB requests.
Mail to the following addresses was undeliverable: 900 Wilshire Dr. #202 Troy, MI 48084 and 13854 Lakeside Circle #402 Sterling Heights, MI 48313. Both addresses are virtual office spaces. The business' response included an incomplete address, also a virtual office space: 41000 Woodward Ave Troy, MI 48084.
According to information in BBB files and the company's website, consumers will pay a $100 pre-qualification fee, and $559 up-front processing fee to apply for assistance in securing a rental property. In addition to rent and security deposit paid to the rental property manager, consumers pay a non-refundable deposit equal to one month rent, and monthly fees that may include $200 risk insurance, $10 cashier's check, $35 USPS overnight shipping (to send check to property manager), $150 monthly service fee, and/or $150 monthly administration fee, and $1,000-$1,500 yearly lease renewal fee.
Monthly fees and rent are paid to Guaranteed Apartment Approval/Corporate Solutions. It's unclear whether consumers receive a lease in their own name as they are instructed not to contact the property manager without permission from Alanda Smith.
Consumers with outstanding concerns are encouraged to file a complaint for BBB records and may also wish to contact your state's Attorney General.
Based on information detailed above, BBB does not know where the business is located. BBB cannot state with confidence that we have a clear understanding of the business model.
BBB urges caution when choosing whether to do business with a company whose physical location is unknown.
