My wife and I THOUGHT we had a home to rent through Catlin Properties. We were quoted $995 a month for rent and told that the current tenants were going to move out the middle of the month. We kept calling, were told our credit had been approved, and expected to hear a move-in date just any day. Then, my wife discovered the same house advertised on Craigslist for $1,100. Nobody from Catlin even bothered to tell us that the house was available (for $105 a month more than quoted). They even tried to blame us for their questionable tactics by stating that we hadn't put down a deposit on a house that, according to them, was still occupied. Unless you're a local Section 8 tenant, go directly to Sharp Properties instead. Catlin cost me $300 in travel expenses and 22 hours of driving.
