Should I be worried about my soon-to-be apt rental?

I am getting kind of concerned about the people who manage my apartment. I visited 3 weeks ago and put a down payment for an apartment to move in to on this Friday.
I knew I had to contact them with needed forms and proof of renter's insurance, etc.
The only thing is, they have not contacted me the entire time I have sent them these completed forms. I havent even got the copy of the lease they said they would send me on my initial visit.
I leave them emails asking if anything else is needed. I eventually left a voicemail on Friday, and it wasn't returned.
Now I am getting worried if living there, dealing with anything else that relies on management like maintainence work will be the same way.
I looked up reviews and the majority of the negative ones are about the staff.
So, I am only in the hole a little on this deposit. Should I ride it out, or heed my concerns as a warning and take the loss for a possibly better living arrangement? I would have to possibly pay minor penalities on cancelking electricity and internet. But perhaps they can work with me.
Anyone have any experience with this? TIA.

I'm not a fan of e-mails unless you have them send you a status reply you can copy. Talk to them and have them send you conformation online. Print it.

But I had to send them 4 or 5 pdfs from myself and other parties (ins. agent and employer) no aknowledgement after that saying I needed ither documents or that worked, even when I asked.

I would be concerned...seems like they would be more accommodating for a new remnant

The people in the office make money off of you putting down a deposit and signing a lease. You are their top priority. After that, you're a secondary concern. If they suck before you even move in, then they're really gonna suck once you're living there and need your sink fixed

This is a huge red flag, they shouldn't be asking you for this kind of personal info. Sounds like a scam to me, next they'll probably request pictures of your junk to ensure your apartment will be available.

That's why I look at reviews before putting down a deposit. No excuse for gross incompetence.

you should have done this first

Yeah, but I dont trust reviews that are few and written i the heat of the moment. Like some were. Also, some had poor grammar.
Posted on 8/2/15 at 7:39 pm to Pectus
But is the treament, is lack thereof, by the staff enough not to live in the apartment?

If the reviews had poor grammar then that means they accept bad tenants. You don't want to live somewhere with a shite staff because they will leave you hanging when appliances brake and that is the worst!

Judging by your avatar you're probably a huge pussy to begin with.
Worrying is just a part of that.

Shitty advice. Pectus, do not send them pictures of your penis. It's not necessary to get the apartment no matter what they tell you. Just don't do it.

honestly, it sounds to me like they are having trouble with someone else vacating the apartment or something like that....I wouldn't be too worried about it unless you hear from someone who has lived there....

I my experience, cancelking is always the last resort.
I mean, do you even red wedding, bro?
