When applying for multiple units you should not have to pay $20 for every application you put in. The $20 fee is usually paid to the first unit you apply for, each place you apply to after that, you should be able to provide them with a copy of your credit report. There is a 30 days time limit to provide copies of your credit report after it is used for the first application.
