I even have a document given to me by my agent of HSR Realty stating that an "LOI is an initial document to put forward the tenant's offer to the landlord. This document is not legally binding. This LOI states
your intention to enter into a contract to rent the
property and put forward your additional requests to the landlord."
As for being an "unethical" tenant as someone posted, it was never my intention to commit to renting this property. The agent pushed me and so I signed the LOI. If I had known I would be legally liable for anything, I would never have signed. As it turns out, I don't think I am legally liable. I think this just goes to show the over-eagerness of agents to push landlords and tenants into signing documents without properly explaining them, so they (the agents) can make their commission.
I don't know if they will go to court with this. They are threatening to at this point, but I don't think it will be worth pursuing for them. Let's see how it plays out.

I do not have any anecdotal nor court proceeding evidence BUT had a word with my kid sister who is a trained lawyer and practising here. Guess what she said " tell the real estate agent to use that LOI for toilet paper".
It won't hold in the court of law.
