So I found a cheaper place to rent and filled out the application yesterday. I just got a call back from the realtor saying that the application has been accepted. However, they also said that in order for the listing of the condo to be taken down I need to give them first months rent. This will all happen before I even see the lease. Is this normal? All the other places that I have rented all ask for the security and first months rent at the lease signing. What happens if I find something in the lease I don't like? Will I get my money back? I mean they can't charge me for 1st months rent if I never sign the lease to rent the place can they?
