That's a really good idea.
could always refund the fee if you run across someone who can't afford it.
Hmm ya. Income less than say 110% avg get a refund. If you're rich please keep sending me a few bucks for the potential chance to maybe rent this apartment I totally own right next to something rich people totally love.
Hmm, I wonder what's the minimum you'd need to be able to skirt the fraud line. Or what other high ticket services could do something similar with minimal exposure.
Could probably do all sorts of interesting Richie data collection in the process.
Owning or renting the apartment in question is the actual bare minimum for there to be no ability for it to be considered fraud.
A landlord doesn't have to rent or sublet to anyone that applies. The thing that makes it fraud is that you're advertising something for sale/rent which you don't own. (like selling a bridge)
You're thinking like a square.
Let's say you know someone with a very expensive apartment. You and 5 friends each make a deal with that owner to serve as a rental "agent" to the owner giving them a cut of the application fees with an unspoken understanding that they will never approve any of your suggestions. Would that be fraud?
