Honestly the author should try applying for renting an apartment/room in NYC. I had to give, ID, Letter from employer/university, payslips, SSN etc. Weeks before signing the lease, which actually ended up happening literally the day of move-in. The 250$ charge seems exorbitant, but ~50 to 100$ credit check fee is common, most agents will provide a realistic assessment of your chances.
