if they had had an apartment to rent out it would've been totally OK and not fraud and a very normal thing to expect a landlord to do though π
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, thatβs frayed. Fraud is an amphibian known for hopping.
No, thatβs 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.

"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.

Not to be a capitalist pig but even under capitalism in the USA that is just fraud.
Most people have no ability or funds for recourse and justice. It's just going to be a SOL moment.

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.

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.
No fucking way this has to be a joke
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 wouldnβt 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.

You also have to prove you make 2x rent, sometimes 3x rent in order to actually qualify for an apartment (alot of us create fake paystubs for this) :)
We also will have a deposit that is usually 2-3x rent that we are supposed to get back when we move out. However every time this happens the landlords conveniently find damage to the property that didn't exist the day you moved out so you don't ever get that money back (or if you do, you only get 25-50% of it). :)
At the place I just moved out of, there was a roach infestation that the landlords refused to hire a pro to take care of that got entirely out of hand. They are holding my deposit for this. :)
You also aren't allowed to have anyone stay over longer than 3 days if they aren't on the lease without prior approval from the landlord. :)
Edit: Sometimes people have to get renters insurance too. :)

Nope, 100% real. My roommate has a pet and the landlord forced them to pay a $50/month pet fee.
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.

yeah, that's not passive income
What if I could earn a passive income by scamming scammers? It would be morally correct?
Yes but they have the funds and connections to absolutely nail you to a cross.

I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).
That's $4365 in passive income.
I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.
And someone has the audacity to tell me these are people.
