I need you opinion on a situation.

 

I know the owner of an apartment building.

 

Usually the owner find new persons to rent apartments to by using a queue that is free for anybody to get into.

 

I am not in that queue. But the owner has offered me an apartment anyway.

 

If I accept the apartment I will get an apartment before the persons in the queue without standing in it myself.

 

Is it immoral of me to accept the apartment? Immoral because I "cut the line".

 

This question has tormented me and therefor I would appreciate your views on this.

Don't be an egalitarian. The owner clearly has faith in you as a tenant, and would prefer to have someone he knows inhabit his property, rather than gamble on a stranger.

To a great extent, success in life consists of taking cognizance of your "unfair advantages," and making the most of them.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I see more clearly that the owner may see me as a preferable tenant compared to unknown persons.

It is not a company queue so I won't step on any company toes.

I now am willing to accept the apartment.

This is an important decicion for me so I am grateful for your help.

It warmed my heart to receive your help on this.
