I once renewed an apt rental ad on Zillow.
The previous time I had posted everything was great. Big company. Lots of eyeballs. Great.

This time every email was routed through their servers. Several click-throughs about the fair housing act etc. Uh ok. I've accepted and rejected applicants of all flavors. Oh and phone calls too because my direct phone number was apparently altered in the ad posted. And phone calls would be recorded. More stern legal warnings. Wow this is not a friendly experience at all. I was now under hostile deposition.

Got a few phone calls from people with ethnic names who wanted to talk but didn't want to see the place. Got an email saying an applicant had passed their background check and was ready to move in asap. I never authorized any of that. To be able to view this 'application'? They wanted to run a full credit check on me.
