    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.
