Business ProfileforThe Rental Group

In around mid August while I was expecting my wifes arrival from oversees, I saw an apartment through a broker house [The Rental Group (a ******** of ********* real estate), *****************************************************************************, ***************************************, the Broker/owner, Cell # ************, office phone # ************ ] that I liked and gave the brokers agent the holding fee ($2300 by check) that they could deposit and gain if I signed the lease,As I did my final assessment before signing the apartments lease, I learned that my wife will not be able to join me for another at least 8 to 12 months, therefore I told the broker that I will not be able to sign the lease because my wifes arrival has been delayed and I financially wont be capable of renting that place, because I will be encountered with roof cost split while my wife is still oversees. I told him that I couldnt financially jeopardize neither the landlord nor myself by a wishful thinking to expand to a larger place before my wife joins me.When I submitted the application, the broker's agent made me sign a piece of paper, indication that they will charge 1 month fee upon agreement and put me under impression that they will never gain the fund unless I sign the lease. Nevertheless, he cashed the check while he was preparing the lease and never return the fund after I couldnt sign the lease.While he used lots of discriminatory languages to proof his point, I tried to show him my existing lease extension in order to proof that my reason for not signing his lease isnt because that I have found better and/or less expensive place, furthermore I offered him time compensation for showing the place to me and preparing the lease that didn't go through.He arrogantly declaimed all and didnt return my deposit while I never signed the apartment lease.
