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?

    Yep was similar for my current one. Needed double rent as deposit plus first month. Wiped out my savings which I only had cause I was an over the road trucker for 2 years with very few expenses (just food, entertainment, phone, etc)
