    At one point I worked in a role where I helped people with tech issues, including getting printing and scanning done for documents that needed to be signed.

    I regularly had people coming with letters to potential landlords for printing/signing/scanning, thanking the landlord for the opportunity to view a rental, noting the listed rent, and offering a higher rent and/or a cash gift if they were the tenant who was selected.

    Very illegal and scummy, exploiting desperate people and families. This app feels like the codifying of that shady landlord behaviour.

      By that logic, grocery stores exploit hungry people. The letter thing doesn’t translate, I guess, but there’s other examples where it would.

      I know everyone hates landlords here, but like, why?
