This List of Rental Requirements Will Make You Realize How Obscene Some Landlords Truly Are
This list of rental requirements might make you think twice about looking for a new place to rent.
Some rental listings make people pause, and this one went far beyond that. A viral list of requirements for a home rental has people questioning just how far some landlords will go when they think they have the upper hand.
The post lays out an eight-item checklist covering deposits, fees, and personal information, along with photos of the property itself. Taken together, it paints a picture that feels less like a normal rental process and more like a warning sign.
The details only get stranger from there, and the comments have plenty to say about it.

The requirements include a driver's license and a good credit score. Some of these requirements make sense for someone looking to buy a home, but renting is usually a bit simpler.

This Makes Sense for Buying a Home but Not Renting.

Renting can be difficult in these times, but why do landlords have to make it even more challenging? Renting is supposed to be stress-free and easier than buying, with fewer obligations, but it seems that these requirements would apply to both financial options.
What do you think about these requirements? Have you ever experienced anything like this?
This listing is hard to defend.
