      I mean really just spruce up one unit, charge for tours, charge for applications, why even bother renting?

      I mean places already charge just to submit an app.

        People do that, its pretty clear cut fraud though so it usually doesnt work out the best in the end.

      The idea is proably just to filter out people who aren’t serious / not gonna show up.

      I can’t imgine it’s about the money

        Its common to pay a down payment to hold a rental, this is just a shittier version of that.

          You pay the downpayment to reserve the spot, so they cannot rent that to someone else once you pay. Touring does not apply the same restriction to the property.
