Many people in the comments found it suspicious that there is an application fee and they advised to never even look at such listings because it is a scam to lure money from people. They also noticed that the total move-in amount was quite a bit bigger than it should be if you do the math correctly.

People in the comments were also pointing out that the place was not worth $2,200 a month because it is in Riverdale, which is a small city with a population of 15,129 people and it is 12 miles (19 km) south of downtown Atlanta, the capital of the state of Georgia.

Wait what? This house isnt even in the middle of Atlanta? These requirements are really strange. Anyone who could qualify to live here could probably buy their own house.

Someone also suggested this is a scam to keep the property as a tax write-off without any chance that they'd have to move out (no one would rent for that amount) or even a scam to get $75 from many people for the "application fee" (shouldn't be more than $35) and never rent it to them; just keep the money. It may even be someone who decided to get into the house-flipping or rental property game without really knowing what they are doing. The list of requirements should have the terms of the lease like length, pets, etc.
