TO ALL STUDENTS: Avoid renting an apartment from TREMONT, THE BRYN, or THE POINTE in State College, or any property managed or owned by CARDINAL GROUP COMPANIES or GREYSTAR, or KEYSTONE PROPERTIES in all states! These are predatory businesses, that target college students. Although GREYSTAR reflects a "warning" on their website to avoid any association with properties that prohibit potential Tenants from viewing their apartment before Leasing, that is exactly what GREYSTAR employees do! THE BRYN at 601 VAIRO BLVD in State College, Pennsylvania is a "slum property", and so is THE POINTE at 501 S. VAIRO. They forbid potential Tenants from viewing apts before paying them multiple months of rent in advance, and signing a Lease. They only allow the view of a "Model", which is nothing like the actual apartments that look like "crack-houses". They scam people by making false representations about the true conditions of the apartments. Their Marketing Manager is WENDY DONOVAN. She lies to potential Tenants about everything. She has also stated that they will not, under any circumstance, allow potential renters to see their apartment before they actually take possession of it, even if the apt is vacant. THE POINTE'S Regional Manager is ZACH LOVETT. He carries out the same RACKETEERING SCAM that CARDINAL GROUP does at THE BRYN and TREMONT, both on VAIRO.
These properties will lie to potential Tenants and say there is only 2 apts left and they need to put a deposit/sign a lease fast to ensure they have an apt. They'll ask for approximately 3 months rent, or multiple months, in far advance. In the Illinois case, the VICTIMS discovered that they'd paid for an apartment that did not exist, on the day the Victim Tenant moved-in. The apt was uninhabitable! There was Black Mold throughout, filthy, black carpets, although the Marketing Manager, KATIE LIBERMAN LOVETT said that the apt and ALL apts are "deep steam cleaned". She and other staff make false claims about doing extensive cleaning to avoid COVID-19 exposure, especially if a previous Tenant vacated in a short period of time before the new Tenant(s) moved in. This is also false! These misstatements and misrepresentations are all part of their scheme to defraud. THE POINTE does the very same thing. Although they are owned and managed by different companies, ZACH LOVETT, THE POINTE'S Regional Mgr. and KATIE LIBERMAN LOVETT, CARDINAL GROUP'S former Marketing Mgr at THE BRYN and current employee of CARDINAL GROUP, are married, and carried out the same scheme to defraud.
These predatory businesses will take their time to repaireplace old, non-working appliances. THE BRYN had ALL non-working appliances at the time the Plaintiff in the Illinois lawsuit moved in, although they claimed that they had ALL updated and up-to-date appliances. Their webpage reflects that as well, but the appliances were 25-27 years old and NOT working. CARDINAL GROUP staff will then tell Tenants, "Too bad! You signed a Lease! Pay us or we'll send you to collections!"
They will also delete Tenants MAINTENANCE WORK ORDERS so that there is not a "paper trail" and no evidence, in their efforts to further their scheme to defraud.
THE BRYN, along with it's Owner, HAIM SABAN, CARDINAL GROUP COMPANIES, CARDINAL GROUP MANAGEMENT, and the CEO, ALEX O'BRIEN, KATIE LIBERMAN LOVETT, and VALERIE HERRERA are being sued in the state of Illinois, Federal Court Northern District of Illinois, Case# 1:21_CV- 4324. HERRERA is a CARDINAL GROUP MGMT. employee and worked/works at THE BRYN.
If you're a Penn State student, or you know of any student who has been been defrauded / scammed by these people / predatory businesses, contact PSU's Student Legal Services. Do not contact LAURA ROBBINS, Attorney in State College. She has claimed that she "handled" legal disputes on behalf of THE BRYN. She's also a liar. Beware of Attorneys that don't "sound right". It is also important that those who have been scammed by these people, file an online Complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office. It takes about 7 minutes to complete!
\**CARDINAL GROUP COMPANIES, ALEX O'BRIEN, and CARDINAL GROUP MANAGEMENT ARE ALSO BEING SUED IN DENVER, COLORADO for the same Racketeering Scheme, Scheme to Defraud! They are involved in another Class Action Lawsuit filed by* Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP in Seattle, Washington.
\**BEWARE OF ANY PROPERTY OWNED/OPERATED BY CARDINAL GROUP, OR GREYSTAR (HAS SIMILAR LAWSUITS AGAINST THEM).*
Last, do your research. There are not many Student Housing properties Off-Campus, that have not been recently sued in the past, or have pending lawsuits against them by the Pennsylvania Attorney General, for defrauding and scamming college students!!! A quick "google search" or accessing their website, go in the upper-left-hand corner, enter "State College" in the Search bar. There, you can see some current cases. You can contact them directly as well. That online Complaint is important! They can't do anything unless they know about it.
****Most important: Know your state's eavesdropping/tape-recording laws! If you do business with these slumlords & fraudsters, make sure you tape-record every communication with them. Courts and Jurys love tape-recorded evidence; it's indisputable!
Here's an article about the Denver, Colorado Class Action Lawsuit against CARDINAL GROUP COMPANIES & MANAGEMENT: https://coloradosun.com/2021/10/29/cardinal-group-management-lawsuit/ There's also posts on Reddit. There are also fake positive Reviews for these slum-properties on Google and Yelp, by staff members.
\***REMEMBER: SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!! And contact an Attorney if you've been scammed by them OR if you've rented from CARDINAL GROUP or GREYSTAR at any time after 2010: Fill out this form for updates on the Class Action Lawsuit in connection with "RealPage". Currently, 13 Members of Congress have reached out to the Dept. of Justice to go after* CARDINAL GROUP & GREYSTAR. You can read about them here. PLEASE SHARE THE INFO WITH OTHERS & SCHOOLS!\**\**

Noob scraper here. I built a spider using Scrapy and Playwright to scrape auto ads for the results of a parameterized search URL on autotrader.com and it's working great to grab data from the first page. I'm now trying to augment it to handle scraping the rest of the pages. I've identified the HTML element for the pagination at the bottom of the first page and have validated that I have the correct xpath to select this via DevTools, yet when I run my spider, response.text doesn't contain that HTML element or any of its child elements. It contains all other HTML elements, just not those...
Since I'm using Playwright, any concerns about dynamic insertion via Javascript should be minimal. I also added in a "wait_for_selector" method on the pagination element in question with a 60 second timeout and my script just ends up timing out. I'm also using "wait_until" with "networkidle" to ensure the full page has loaded before scraping.
Kinda puzzled what is going on here. The start_url I am using is: here . I would appreciate any feedback y'all might have.

Title

[REQ]($150) - (#Denver, CO, USA) (Repay $175 6/9/2023) (CashApp, Venmo)

Post contents

I am $150 short of having enough money to pay rent for the upcoming month. If I don’t pay on the 1st, my landlord has threatened to kick me and my wife out. I have pawned as much as I can already, and both myself and my wife have been maxed out of overtime. I am begging for help

Backstory:
I (25M) went to the dealership with my (now) ex-fiancé (F20). I’ll refer to her as C. When we were signing paperwork, the dealer asked if I wanted to add a co-signer. C said she would, so the dealer started to give her paperwork. I stepped in and said no. I didn’t want her to co-sign and be liable for anything. C insisted, but I reassured her it was alright.
Got the paperwork and everything worked out, got the keys. As soon as the dealer went back inside, C asked if she could drive the car over to her parents house and I could follow her in her car. I said no, because… well… it’s my car, she has hers. It didn’t make sense to me. I tried to joked around with her about it, but she got upset, got in her car, and left.
I got in my car, followed her over to her parents’ place. Her and I pulled up a few seconds apart, but as soon as my car pulled up, C’s mom came out and was excited about my car. My problem though was she referred to it as C’s and I’s car. I let it slide the first thousand times, but I finally said it was my car. C’s mom was like, “What do you mean? I thought she co-signed?” When I told her I didn’t want her to do that, C’s mom was visibly upset. C chimes in saying, “I tried to help him but he didn’t want it I guess. It’s whatever.” C’s mom asked why I didn’t want C to co-sign. I told her I didn’t want C to be liable for anything. I also wanted it in my own name.
C claimed I was being selfish, that I didn’t love her, etc. C’s mom told me I really need to reevaluate how I treat women and said that I didn’t deserve her daughter. C proceeded to tell me we were over and to not be surprised if “legal gets involved.”
So… huh?
