shut the fuck up faggot bot and answer my question

what the fuck?
people pay for applications?
it's probably illegal.
Or it will be once you get found out.

Where the fuck do you live that you have to pay for a flat viewing?
Is this one of those troll threads where Americans try to bait Europeans into posting "do Americans REALLY"

Besides it being illegal, if a black or a tranny finds out you didn't use the money for a background check, they can sue you under the 14th amendment or some shit for a shitload of money
Coworker that's deaf didn't get special treatment when applying at Safeway, sued them, won $70,000. $70,000 because Safeway didn't email him back after he said he needed a translator at the interview

No, you don't pay for the viewing - you pay an application fee when applying to rent, and as pointed out you can, to my knowledge, legally use that to order a background check, however I don't think there's anything specifically illegal about where those funds go. I'm not entirely sure of the legality though, hence why I asked.

obviously a kid posted this shit. if you take a fee off anyone and run away with it you'll get arrested for fraud. Also i've never paid a fee for an "apply to rent". grow the fuck up scum bag

Fucking based

you pay a deposit. you don't pay an application fee.

Ive never heard of people paying to apply especially to an apartment that is only 1500 a month. Maybe if you were renting som luxury condo in Manhattan where the property owners could lose money merely by you existing in it.

it's the textbook definition of fraud and you will be criminally prosecuted if caught. there's your "catch" you dumb nigger

They charge a fee to look up your credit history

>all of these non-Americans replying

why are people so quick to post about that which they do not know? btw this is literally fraud so good luck with that

what's with the "they" - say "the landlord" or "the real estate agent" - neither entity keeps the any money to do a credit check.

dumb faggot scammers thinking they're funny

I'm reporting this to the FBI

Depending on the city, that seems like an unrealistic fee.

My application fees on "luxury" (doorman, concierge, gym, etc) apartments in Manhattan was never more than 75$. And, usually that was submitted after touring and verbally committing interest.

stop it, mr.goldstein

i dont get how you explain you're keeping the $150 and they're being denied and no one said why am i being denied?

damn nigga, take my hearing then

ITT, seething rentcucks

You told me your plans.

I see this announcement, "BAEX is a new gem," almost everywhere. Did you see that? I checked this exchange, this is a defi binary exchange with various shares, indexes, fiat & crypto pairs. Does anyone use it? They also offer a bonus system to earn on the invitations: baex.com

yes
>and no one said why am i being denied?
"We're renting to someone else"
"Someone applied before you, the fee is not refundable"

So this is actually a real thing? I'm starting to get why burgers have such a seething hatred towards landlords. "Application fee", "co-signing" bullshit, etc - Jesus fucking Christ. I've been a Euro landlord for almost a decade now and these are completely alien concepts to me. Like, it wouldn't occur to me in my wildest dreams to charge mere applicants a fee or force someone who doesn't live there to sign the contact. Next to no rent control, houses built from plywood *and* all this scam bullshit - yeah, it'd probably contemplate stringing up landlords too if we had that shit over here. And that's coming from a fellow landlord. Why do people even accept this shit?

>rent an apartment in the city center
>list it on rental sites, say I'm subletting
>potential renters come in an see the place a few times a day
>live off the viewing tips they give
I didn't realize people tipped this much just to see apartments, is it really this easy?

And then lose it all after you're sued when one of the negros you denied files a complaint under equal housing laws

>"We're renting to someone else"
>"Someone applied before you, the fee is not refundable"
>but I’m still advertising the apartment to collect application fees
???

>muh rent control

Literally what caused housing shortages in the major cities dummy
