While I agree on rent being too damn high, I think I draw the line as follows.

If you agreed to pay X and there are mandatory fees on top of that, that’s bullshit that should be illegal.

If you agreed to pay X and you want to use a method of payment that will make the other party receive less than X… that’s on you.

It feels a lot like… if someone agrees to pay me X and decides to pay me less than X… that’s some bullshit.
