i sue landlords for fraud. passive income.

It's not fraud if you tell the applicant what the rental criteria are and what happens to the money if they are turned down.
In ancient times, I was a small time landlord. On a couple of occasions I asked for an application fee. I followed these rules, which I explained to the applicant:
It costs money to do background checks. I wasn't going to be out of pocket if an applicant was dishonest with me.
I think you're misunderstanding, the OP here had no intention of renting anything out, they're just taking application fees
Of course, it's often a scam. But application fees can be legit. The key is how they are administered.
The fee should not be non refundable, just not refunded under certain specific circumstances.
if they had had an apartment to rent out it would've been totally OK and not fraud and a very normal thing to expect a landlord to do though 😅
