    The one where I need a place to rent, and the real estate agent communicates between my landlord and myself via WhatsApp group chat?

    Your landlord tells you no smoking in the house and you do it? What parallel reality do you live in?

      When I did smoke cigarettes, I would go outside not to have a smelly appartment. I did keep smoking joins inside with prejudice though, it's not like they'd visit to check up on me.

      That's dystopian… The agency has my e-mail to send me bills and occasionally some important residential information, they have my phone number for absolute emergencies, other than that I don't want to hear from them or… chat with them? I'm still processing why do you need to be in a group chat or how can landlord force you to install an app on your phone. What if you don't have a smartphone? It's not like it's obligatory to have one.

      Renting an apartment is a mutual agreement for which you pay your rent, it's not like they are doing you a favour or anything, and you behave like you're their slave or something.
