So my BF and I just put in an application for a bigger apartment. The application asked for my last place of residence, but that was with my ex and I wasn't on the lease, so I called my Dad to let him know that I was putting on the application that I had lived at his house for the past 2 years before moving in with my current boyfriend. I did live in his house for a while because it was vacant at the time but only for one summer.
Today he called to tell me that he got a call about the application, and that they asked him a bunch of questions, one of which being "are you related to the applicant?" and he said NO! Mind you we have the same last name so that was totally insane. He made up some story about how he knew me through a mutual friend and that I had paid him $600 a month. He thought I wanted him to pretend to be my landlord! I am so embarrassed. I know he was just trying to help but it is painfully obvious from the app that we are related. I almost feel like I should call the rental office and apologize? Or should I just forget about it and move on to a different apt? I am so bummed because this company owns a lot of buildings in the area where we want to rent. I really don't know what to do. UGH.
