Credit Checks

Before you can rent an apartment, you have to fill out an application and cough up $30 bucks so they can check your credit. It doesn't even matter if you have your own credit report, they have to run their own because yours might be forged. So what this means is that if you apply for say 5 apartments from five different leasing companies that's $125 bucks down the drain because there is no guarantee that you'll get the apartment anyways. God damn it - that's enough for one week in this piece of shit hostel.

How do we fix this? How about if when you get your credit report, they'll mail it to you with a barcode + special hologram + notorized + special stamp + watermark and so on.

That way it's real and un-forgeable. And you only need to pay for one credit report. The leasing people can check it instantly and move on with the leasing process. And the credit report people can go fuck themselves.
