    Or maybe the real first tired of getting stood up, or tired of people trying to see every property that exists without ever buying anything.

    Those sound like “cost of doing business” as a landlord/management agent.

            Nothing about your original comment reads as anything but defending that practice. Everything you said is factual, and it all sounds like defense. I appreciate that you laid out all the information that you did, but it reads like you’re saying “just playing devil’s advocate” when you’re just trying to spin a narrative that this is ok when that isn’t reality.

            I’m not buying it. Your explanation doesn’t defend the $11.99 “product” and you can do an Auth on a credit card and get that same info without doing a Settle which actually takes money from the person. At worst, you could say its a refundable deposit, but its not that either. This is simply a cash grab charging for something that was included for free before.
