When I was looking for apartments last year, one of the places I looked at, they tried to pressure me into signing right there and then. I stalled (for one thing, at the time I wasn't entirely sure how much money I was going to be making yet, so I didn't want to commit to a lease right away), and they told me that they had two other people coming to see the apartment and it would be snapped up if I didn't sign then. A week or two later I decided on a different apartment. A week after I signed the lease for that apartment, the first place contacts me and asks me if I'm still interested. The apartment was still available.
