First come first serve basis should follow and understand the timeline 1st la.

If the potential tenant want to view the room in certain period only agree the offer which mean the Owner have the right to accept another tenant that want to rent the room within the period of before the 1st potential tenant mentioned.

for example : A promise want to rent B's room but A wish to inspect the room 1st before accept the offer,
since A is busy in certain period so A only could come on date 25/nov/09
So within the period from 1/nov/09 until 24/nov/09 Owner still has the right to make any changes. The example below:

Suddenly C is another potential tenant who is rich or what ever had already confirmed want to accept ur room rent offer on 20/nov/2009
In this period the owner can accept C acceptance of the rent offer and cancel with A, since A had not confirm his/her acceptance of the rent offer earlier than C party.

A is not count as acceptance to the offer because he/she only have intention to the offer, since his/her intention only will accept after inspect the property condition. But the facts is A had not yet inspect so that will be not count as he/she already accept the owner offer.

Just like in RO Player senario, Since missAnnabella only will accept to pay when he/she inspect the room condition.

But in fact RO Player demand missAnnabella to pay 1st before he/she can inspect the room is Not First COME FIRST SERVE basis.

That is just a regular CONFIRMED ACCEPTANCE of OFFER basis whereby the payment made 1st and the payment had counted as he/she had already rent the room once he/she paid to RO PLAYER.

In logically thinking there are no way to call someone to pay the payment and count the person had rent the property but in fact the person did not even touch or enjoy the property yet.

This is Win-Lose situation. In other words the owner will get the payment benefit but the potential tenant did not enjoy the property after once the payment had made.

In my opinion i will say this is an unethical issue because the owner did not apply a proper so called " FIRST COME FIRST SERVE" basis.
But will i assume RO PLAYER might not understand on what is first come first serve basis really about.
And i dont see RO PLAYER will bare any losses in within the timeline period if he/she apply a proper timeline method way in the basis

p/s: if im not right just knok my head
