Apartment complex websites that photoshop (outright lie) about what the apartment is like and you're not allowed to see the actual place before renting (current tenant is still there, or the manager/owner just doesn't want you to see even if it's empty). And - there's so much competition for apartments in the area you either sign the lease sight-unseen or you live in your car.
I've done OK in some of these. None were what the website pics and descriptions offered, but they were still OK. Some others, though, turned out to be absolute broken down dumps. And every single one of these places have great online reviews. Imagine that.
