Even then, I’ve heard of scammers picking up the key for a self-tour, posing as the landlord, and turning around to accept applications. Hard to suss that out, even in person!

That seems like a much lower percentage. Scams are numbers and doing it all online is way easier, not to mention the very low numbers of places one could even accomplish that, but yea, people gonna peep.

True. Just pointing out that one needs to keep the shit-sniffer running 24/7, no matter how safe the circumstances seem. It is not uncommon for even the largest, most established property managers to accept multiple non-refundable app fees even though they really only consider one app!

Yea, application fees should really only cover a background check (which is pretty cheap).
