My friend has a slumlord next to him doing this, he's charging $250 per application and rejecting everyone. So my friend is renting his spare room to his last tenant and thinking about suing. Fucks up the neighborhood.

No, you're thinking of pioneering psychologist Sigmund Freud.

Fraud is when a rope begins to break one stand at a time

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.

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 have passive income" is literally just "I run online scams".

This is no different from people in places like india doing phone call scams.

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.

We also sometimes have to pay "pet rent", and no this does not cover pet damages.
