That all makes sense, but it’s just not a transparent process regardless if it’s their doing or if it’s strictly legal. It would make more sense if it just said “Pending” like in the real estate market.

Hiding units behind a curtain naturally creates a FOMO because people don’t want to have to spend an extra $100/month if they wait too long to sign.

This is true, but legally, once the application is submitted it isn’t “pending.” The applicant has that apartment until the application is reviewed. Letting others apply or look at the resident who might be a “better” applicant is against fair housing. It’s all to provide protections for protected classes.
