Lmaooo Dudes, US people have no business making fun of communist if they do things like this. What do you mean you pay for an application for rent a space to living for???
We also sometimes have to pay “pet rent”, and no this does not cover pet damages.
You mean “pet tax”
No fucking way this has to be a joke
The real fun is having to pay extra on an application because you have a pet, then getting to pay an additional pet rent monthly. Also it’s sometimes per pet, literally trying to treat them like bonus tenants.
My cat costs me $30 per month in pet rent. And she still has the gall to lay around and complain like she pays the rent.
My cat cost my insurance company whatever they paid my doctor to write a note to tell my landlord I wouldn’t be paying a pet deposit equal to a months rent (non-refundable) and pet rent.
She seemed annoyed by the whole thing but unsurprised. Apparently part of her job is to write the landlords fuck you notes.
Not a joke. I suspect the creation of pet rent contributed to the dilution of the concept of service animals (people insisting that Rex the psychotic chihuahua is an emotional support animal).

Yeah my cat is $50/mo….
These guys are saying $50-100 but I have seen $200 per month on a $1800 per month apartment. It’s no joke.
Nope, 100% real. My roommate has a pet and the landlord forced them to pay a $50/month pet fee.
God I love being so free though 🦅
Sorry that’s an additional $20 service fee for loving something. Them the rules.
More apartments in the US have it than not nowadays. It’s anywhere from 50-100 a month.
Yeah, that’s straight up fraud btw
i sue landlords for fraud. passive income.
No I’m pretty sure that’s the guy that loves cocain and wants to fuck his mother
No, you’re thinking of pioneering psychologist Sigmund Freud.
Fraud is when a rope begins to break one stand at a time
No, that’s frayed. Fraud is an amphibian known for hopping.
No, that’s frog. Fraud is the opposite of frozen.
No, you’re thinking of thawed.
Fraud is a type of long robe or gown
I believe you mean thawb. A fraud is a term for a deep geological formation filled with water, in Scandinavia.
That’s a fjord. A fraud is a unit of electrical capacitance.
I’m a frayed you’re wrong. Fraud is the car company that makes the Mustang and F150 truck.
No, you mean Ford. Fraud is the German word for “woman”.
That’s Frau. A fraud is a young deer
No, that’s a fraught. Frog is when you’re beset by worry/anxiety.
Not to be confused with a frontier psychiatrist
That boy needs therapy!
😮
“I have passive income” is literally just “I run online scams”.
This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.
Yes that would be the joke.
Application fees? For renting? Man America is cooked.
Don’t forget the downpayment and the security deposit and first and last months rent. Oh and if you break the lease you have to pay 4 months rent or the remainder of the rental period, whichever is higher
Don’t forget that your landlord forces you to pay through a 3rd party company that charges a “convenience” fee of ~3% so your $600 rent is actually $620.
Ask me how I know.
Usually there’s some way around that though? Like mailing checks or something.
I had a landlord that would let you mail checks to get around it. But the leasing docs explicitly stated there was a 6% fee for every day rent was late and rent wasn’t considered received until the check cleared.
So we had to mail the check like 2 weeks in advance in case it didn’t arrive quickly enough and then sometimes he’d deposit it 1-2 after receipt and then it’d be a nail biter if it fully cleared in the 24-72 hours necessary for him not to consider it “late”.
I hate that guy and he’s like 90 now and still not dead despite cancer and two heart attacks.
That’s fucked bro. Certified mail for sure.
As far as the clearing thing that just sounds straight up illegal.
There might be, but he did not let us know about it if there is.
Only 3%? Lucky
Add $75 for each pet if allowed! My buddy was apartment hunting recently and was given a rental agreement that said he would have a deductible on repairs and would have to cover anything over $250. The landlord was just looking to scam and sue someone for repairs he had to do to keep up to code. America’s cooked indeed.
Here it’s just a months rent for security deposit and you pay as normal in a rolling monthly contract. The deposit needs to be held in an independent thingie too so they can’t keep it unlawfully.
Oh yeah super common unfortunately
Click that federation button to see about a dozen people (so far) failing to recognize the most obvious ragebait bit imaginable. Probably the OP as well lmao
Why would someone with a username referencing Guy Debord be doing this? Is this leftist ragebait?
It’s a bit
And $4k is not that much. She does it to survive
in what world do you live in where $4k is not that much. i make a solid 6 figures and $4.3k is nearly my monthly income after taxes
Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.
This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment
Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.
Never said it is.
My point was to underline that in the current system some people commit fraud not to get rich or even higher than average, but just to survive.
I mean per month, and assuming not taxed, that’s not bad.
That’s not bad but let’s face it: this is not good either
I assumed your first comment was sarcasm. $4k/mo sounds incredible
Heey, so I also had similar thoughts when I was living by $300/mo, but it’s really, really not much. Here’s the short breakdown
-
rent. Rent is sky-high in places like Berlin, London, Paris, the US, and a lot of other places. You can find a studio apt for like $400/mo in a poor place
-
food. Earning $4k/mo means a lot of work and cooking is not an option. If you rent a cheap apartment, chances are you have a poor kitchen. So it adds $400 per person a month
-
emergency. If your partner loses a job or a close relative gets something like cancer, you start spending much more. I had both, unfortunately
-
The fact that saying $4k net per month on the side is “not good” and “does it to survive” is showing what a failed and depraved country the US is.
There is 60 countries in the world, where the annual GDP per capita is lower than that, and only 20 countries in the world, where the GDP per capita is higher, if we multiply the $4k by 12.
If we assume this to be taxed, then only the tax havens are above that and that is certainly not going to reach most of the people living in these tax havens.
For a long time I had a job that paid exactly $4k a month net. It was heaven as the median salary where I live is 6 times lower. Then I started to think where else I could move. Turns out that this is not enough for most of the countries in Europe
Yeah, that is not true. In most countries in Europe making 4k net puts you in the top 2-10% of income.
For two, without support netwy, and with 2b rent starting at $2000? Highly doubtful
