If you read post #5 you will see that it does happen, no application fee that is.

Yeah, it probably does happen. My response was just to emphasize it is rare as I have not seen it. An owner/landlord who does not charge an application fee is probably someone who would want to sell his home FSBO (no commissions) and would go about using the same mediums to advertise. Just my 2 cents.
