Here is a possible reason from a rental agent.
We have clients who are in constant email contact with us, they ask us questions re the best areas, best schools, best of everything, then when they come to the area they make an appointment with you some turn up others don't , then don't answer their phone or emails sent.
In our business there are a lot of time wasters and you can get to a point where you want to give up!!!
Another thing we have found is certain agents never answer emails, return calls etc, crazy but true.
One more reason is that they may be trying to offload a completely unsuitable property, when they found out that you wanted to look before you took the property they then knew that they would not be able to.
Trust me not all rental agents are the same!!!
