Fair and legal are two totally different things. Most of what landlords do is unfair, but what matters for tenants is whether it’s ultimately legal, since that’s what affects whether they can actually do anything about it.

Then why conflate them? People are downvoting you because the first part of the comment is unhelpful.

Yeah I heard of landlords doing it through Zillow and just collecting the application fee and not renting it. I learned to stay away from listings that had hundreds of applications. One reason is what I just said, but the other was that I just couldn’t compete since I was remotely looking.

I’m wondering now if there’s at least a way to get part of my application fee back but I wouldn’t push it until we move out
