<prompt> Human: Girlfriend and I are looking at leasing an apartment. We were approved today after submitting the application yesterday no application fee.We were shown the apartment by Ellen, who was informative and down to earth, instructing us on where to take the application and answered all our questions. Some rude lady named Mary called today saying we were approved and we need to come sign the lease ASAP. I asked her for a copy to be emailed or picked up to review before signing, but she said no, we both needed to come down in person and sign it.It does appear we can obviously read and review it with them standing there, but it does not look like were able to review it before heading down with the rent and water deposit in hand.Is this common, or a red flag? Only other lease agreement Ive ever reviewed was for college and they sent it home weeks before it needed to be signed.Thanks,  <response>: This is pretty common. All the leases Ive had were like this. I was required to give the security deposit and first month rent at the lease signing, which is the first opportunity I had to look at the lease. College housing is a bit different because people come from all over and typically are not on site until the day they need to move in. It would not be possible for a rental office to handle that much volume in a single day or two.
