Description

i saw a facebook listing of an ADU for 950 a month. So i reached out to the number and got in contact. my Partner and I paid for 83 each of application fee. We then paid for 100 pet fee. But in order for him to take the post down so his “lawyer” (as he stated) we had to pay a 400 deposit. But he made a deal we only had to pay 134 as he deducted the 2 $83 dollar and 100 pet fee. So now i only paid 134 for the so called downpayment. So when i got the lease contract he then added that i had to make a deposit of 300 dollars but he was “nice”enough to say that he will cover 200 dollars and i only have to pay 100. This doesn’t make sense as i have never visited the place and he’s asking for a security deposit and the security deposit is needed so he can get the keys from his lawyer. To add he needed this security deposit in order for his lawyer to make the lease contract. i also have his “lawyers” information his number is +1 (909) 264-1214
