Same with getting a place to live. It was quite a shock when I learned you had to fucking interview to rent an apartment, and may not be approved even if you have the money.

Wait what? I've never heard of such a thing in any of the places I've lived. BS like needing 3x the rent or 1st, 2nd and last months rent + deposit yea

But needing to interview‽ That's a new one LMAO
