You need to pay for an application before we show you what you're applying for. Because COVID, apparently.

This seems like it's probably a scam

Definitely in the metaphorical sense. Unfortunately it's a legit listing.

Oh yeah, the place I’m in now did this shit. They were the one company I said I didn’t want to rent from when I started my housing search. But I was in a time crunch and the market around here is DISMAL so here I am. Had a hard time not telling them “if I had $50 to throw around on applications for houses I haven’t seen yet I wouldn’t be renting from YOU.”

"COVID conditions" were a blessing in disguise for landlords, a blank check to do whatever they wanted to residents. Mine was able to close their office and lay off staff since it's easier to have long hold times than a full waiting room. They also just straight up didn't do any maintenance outside of "emergencies" for close to a year. Took an act of congress just to get them to repair my shower as apparently bathing is not essential.
I'm sure the moratoriums took their toll, but the past two years have opened up dozens of avenues for them to wildly increase fees and rent, and/or cheap out on costs.
