| Call an attorney. This is also a good start http://www.federalrealestate.net/laws/pa.html Good luck! I'd say you are out the deposit but since you haven't signed the lease who knows? I'm guessing you did sign an application and the verbage might be there that would cost you your deposit. If losing the $900, it might make more financial sense to rent the unit. Renting a different unit for $825 for 12 months would now be the same expense. |
