Not asking for donations, i just want to vent
$100 for 2 application fees, a $9 "service fee"each to pay for the application fee
$30 pet registration fee, with a $9 “service fee” to pay the $30
$400 pet deposit
$1500 damage deposit with a $50 “service fee” to pay that
$1500 first month rent
This is all for the cheapest 1 bedroom apt I could find this is insane. Also why was a 10 month lease like $300 a month cheaper than a longer lease? They’re gonna bump the rent up at least that much after aren’t they?
Here’s a fun trick: every county should have a tax assessor site where you can look up the annual property taxes of your apartment building (or any other parcel). Then you can compare it to the rent you’re paying.
