Rental Application Fee

[Kapil Patil]

Hi I am from Texas .We liked one rental property and we have reached out to the seller agent with 100$ a month less than asking price.

Seller agent has asked us to pay the application fee without approving or disapproving rent we have proposed .

Is this the standard flow of events ?  Should we pay the application fee in this case ? Is there a possibility even after submitting the application and all our credit-history / background check is great they may reject our application
