I man the future, I would look up the expected salary ranges on the web and provide an “expectation range” based on the results. I agree that you shouldn’t have to share your current salary, but it’s also helpful for both sides to see if expectations are similar on both sides.

The situation sounds like total bullshit. Normally if you are in this situation, they should just give you a wide range based on their own comp research.

Ask for them to honor the price on a similar unit, since you already applied. You applied for a specific unit and a specific price. I don’t agree with their strategy here, but they are doing this because they want you to move-in. Not because they want your $400.

Be nice, but firm. Ask them for a complete refund immediately, or to apply the price to a similar unit. If they say no or cannot give you a firm answer, follow up by asking for the Regional Manager’s contact info.

As always, remember to be nice. No one wants to help an asshole. Especially when they are going to see you every month when you pay rent.
