Fun fact, the previous venture of the founder includes doing the same for airline tickets, until the FTC shut it down due to it being illegal collusion.
Unfortunately, the Onion dropped the ball on this one. This is Boston and the landlord could only think of $2,850? The landlord needs to ask his neighbor for ideas. Also, not asking for the tenant to pay a realtor fee (very typical Bostonian)?

I'm pretty sure that's called a cartel, and not even the cool kind

Are you sure this shouldn’t be posted in “nottheonion”?
