Just had to do this a few weeks ago. They have you taken a pic of your driver's license, provide your SSN & run a credit check on the spot. Then they charge you to tour the place.
A very "fuck you, I'm getting paid regardless" mentality from rental companies.
My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said "go fuck yourself" and hung up.
The only valid response, IMO.
The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.
I had someone actually try to get me to pay to see rental property well. Mine were a little mote greedy and wanted $30.
I told them I work too hard for my money to be handing it out like party favors.
What the actual fuck
Last few months... Grifting has seriously accelerated
Companies have been accelerating their grifting at an alarming rate since the COVID days
Indeed. They are using that floosing the zome tactic trump did with politics.
Sadly it appears to be working. Working class cant muster a back lash, they don't know what to lash out at
But you suuuurely tip when you look at a rental?
Did you tip when you wrote this comment?
Of course, but I unfortunately cannot tip you because my payment processor doesn't allow to tip NSFW comments.
Look, we're not asking for much. Just the tip.
There’s a 20% suggested tip on the $250 non refundable application deposit?
$250 non refundable application deposit?
LMAO I'd sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.
Rents are too high for a single income to cover anymore, so I’ve been looking for roommates. Even the websites about finding roommates expect you to pay.
To be clear, they have a free tier - but unless you pay, you can’t read the messages you receive. You can read the first line, but the rest is locked. I gave up with one place because the boomer trying to rent a room refused to send me an email. I told him three times to please just email me his message because I couldn’t read it on the site, but because he could read messages fine, he thought it was a setting he had to change. He kept responding with “Okay try now” and didn’t seem to understand that he can’t “settings” other people out from behind a paywall.
All he had to do was copy/paste his message and send it a different way, but he wouldn’t do it. I eventually gave up because the thought of living with someone that’s unable to follow such simple directions sounds like more trouble than it’s worth.
Anyway, point is, even if you’re so poor that you need to seek out roommates, you’re still expected to pay a subscription. I don’t even know what to do anymore.
If you were replying with an email address odds are he was not getting it due to the site actively trying to keep people on their site.
Absolutely. A site charging to read messages will most definitely censor out emails and phone numbers and will have it in their ToS that you're not allowed to take conversations outside the platform.
Just people making passive income guys, nothing to see here.
We once heard of a service that would help us find a rental house. So we went there, had to pay for an appointment. Turns out they do nothing you cannot do yourself, and you pay a lot. They literally just put you in the system, which you can do yourself, and when you get a house through that system, which is free and from the government, they make you pay through the nose for that house.
Of course, since I am native in this country I have no need for a service like that. Turns out they mostly do this to people who don't speak the language. I guess they offer a service, but their fees are excessive for what they do. They abuse the fact those people don't know any better.
There's lots of people making a profit from somebody else's house finding misery and I hate it.
This has gotta be some NYC shit
In a region near me the rental market is 99.3% full.
Scumbag landlords charge $200 to view these horrid places no one will ever rent, and their job is showing people the place, one after another. It's only a half-dozen a day, but that's a good wage and there's no end of hopefuls. Apparently, needing a landlord to come out to show you the place is a "call-out", even if he's just upstairs.
Of course that's the "frbo" market; the rental companies can't get away with that yet. They wish, though.
Well if you have 5 vacant units artificial scarcity is pretty easy to achieve by only putting one to market at a time.
Do the unlimited and have constant tours for all 30 days. Get friends to individually do the same. Pester the ever living fuck out of them.
See, you pay us for the privilege of being considered as a candidate to pay us.
Why would they sell/rent when they make so much money on tours?
I mean really just spruce up one unit, charge for tours, charge for applications, why even bother renting?
I mean places already charge just to submit an app.
agencies: "housing is just not unaffordable enough. I wonder what else we can do to contribute?"
This is why I'll boondock until its completely illegal. Then if they don't force me into the gray pod then I'm going feral hobo until I die in a fight with a racoon over some berries.

Stop, my brother! We are not enemies! There is enough berry for all, if we but put down our differences and turn our attention to the dreaded hording bourgeois!
Nobody tell OP about rental application fees, they'll explode.
If we can get people to do it near landlords we might fix the system
I want to shit down the neck stump of whoever came up with this
In some cases, arson is morally perfectly justifiable.
Why do we even need people to show us apartments. My best experience when looking for a my last apartment was a place that had a automated system, you scan your drivers license for verification, their app gives you the address and the time to visit, when you get there it gives you a lockbox code that will contain the keys to the apartment, you check the apartment out and return the keys to the lockbox on your way out, this should be the default for every rental apartment visit. Every agent I had to deal with was less than useful, this industry needs to die.
Well I need the 24/7 phone and chat support. What if I have a question about my ability to tour a property at 2am?
It would be tempting to get that plan and call them at the stupidest hours possible. But it’s probably outsourced to India or just AI
