So you know the saga of the flooded apartment. And you know my eventual victory in finding a beautiful location with reputable construction and an almost disconcertingly nice and understanding land woman.
What happens next is THE FINAL SHAMYLAN TWIST. So last week we dropped a deposit with the broker with the place that flooded. I should have gotten it back immediately, but we were in constant contact, he seemed like a nice guy (NEVER TRUST A BROKER) and he was holding on to the deposit, not giving it to the owner. We found the new place yesterday, I left him 2 messages, he didn't call back. I gace him another call today, he sais he never got either of my messages and that he gave the deposit to the owner. He said he had to make some calls.
What're my chances of getting that deposit back? I never signed ANYTHING, not even an application, not a lease for sure. It was FIVE DAYS without word, he did not call on Saturday or Sunday as he said he would and he gave over the deposit despite his assurances he wouldn't.
