I forgot how much I hate dealing with apartment brokers.

I just got off the phone with one who, when I asked about the "cats OK" listing, told me that getting a cat was like having bad credit, and nobody anywhere would rent to me at all if I did. Then he proceeded to tell me that he wasn't going to waste (in order) his time, my time or his gas money showing me an apartment if I wasn't going to bring my checkbook and write him a check for first, last and $500 "cleaning fee" on the spot. At which point I said "You know what? Forget it."

Wow, have things changed that much in the last ten years? (It's been a while since I last had to hunt for an apartment). I doubt that was typical. Have you tried the magic words "professional, not college student"?
