In the past 20 years I've noticed a trend of companies making it harder and harder for me to give them my money.

For apartments, when I would look they wouldn't even bother to tour me half the time. I couldn't believe it.

I'm trying to give you thousands of dollars a month. In a CONTRACT. And you won't even show me the product I'm buying?

One place told me it was dark outside (4pm...), and they didn't feel comfortable touring me around the apartments. Jesus Christ, are we in Gotham? Many just ghosted my touring requests. One turned me down because it was raining (???). I would show up in person in the office, and many would still refuse to tour me.

They want your money, they are just getting stricter on how they will accept it in order to limit liability and meet compliance, and also maximize profitability.

Much, much better tools these days to address both of those than there were 20 years ago.

They'd rather rent to someone who is desperate enough to rent without seeing it. It's not that they don't want money, it's that they don't want your money, they want someone more abusable instead.
