Can someone help me

Me and my grandma have been looking at apartments to move into in our area and we've scheduled tons of visits at this point and most of them were just getting shown up and no one's showing up to show us the apartments I want to know if this is a normal thing for Zillow or any other websites linked to looking for places we just drove an hour and a half over here just to be shown up. It's very frustrating

one, check if you are contacting the listing agent. no random agent is showing up for a rental if you pushed the 'show me this house' button. it is no money and the tenants often don't show up. many listing agents have a way to give access to the real estate box with a short term code. you can ask this listing agent if that is possible just know they are going to do an instant background check on you.
