As most apartment companies check credit, how does that work? Seems like they would want your legal name at that moment to check on you. Would insisting on being addressed by a soon to be different last name be a clue that you are a mystery shopper?
I try to do apartment shops with the same company around the same time. I use a scenario that I am moving into an area and am looking at apartments. If I'm asked at another complex about it, I simply explain that I'm still looking at areas. Sometimes I may mention that the other company referred me to this one. (I've done this twice).
