Who Should Get Priority if On a Waiting List for Availability of Apartment to Rent
My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
A 55+ apartment complex maintains a waiting list for future availabilities. The problem is they dont utilize the list as they just go with the first person to put down a holding fee regardless if they were on the list or not. The property is NOT an income restricted (HUD, section 8, or low income).
Is there any regulations that governs how this is suppose to work or is it just business practices of owners of the property decisions.

It's a poor business practice but not illegal as long as it's not discriminatory.
Maybe they just don't want to chase down people on the list and prefer the bird in the hand.
