Why do apartments make you call for price?
You bother because if a landlord has an apartment to rent, there are fewer takers and you have the negotiating advantage. Often times, even with dynamic pricing, you can get a “quote” for an apartment if you plan to move in on a certain day. Then, complexes will honor that price if you move in when discussed.
What is the most expensive month to rent an apartment?

Should I talk to landlord?
There is no law requiring you to talk to anyone. However, it is important for you to keep a line of communication open with your rude landlord, just in case you need something repaired.
Do you have to pay an application fee to rent an apartment?
If an apartment community requires an application deposit, then they will also require an application fee. You should almost always expect to pay an application fee (unless it’s waived as a move-in special), while an application deposit varies from apartment to apartment.
What happens if a tenant doesn’t want to rent an apartment?
When a potential tenant submits an application for rent, but ultimately decides they no longer want to rent the apartment, it holds up the rental process. Because the landlord or property manager believes that this unit will be rented out, it can cost them other potential tenants that could have applied to rent the apartment.
How are rent prices calculated for monthly prices?

What happens if you pay too much in rent?
