I am confused .. is she an agent or owner ??piggy88 wrote:We didnt pay attention to the unit on that day so we cant confirm the unit...
That why we didnt know that the unit she told me n the receipt is different...
As the receipt is kept by my friend n i was the one asking the owner unit
We only realised it yesterday when my friends and I sat down discussing this problem
We wish to engage lawyer but we scare tha it will cost more than that deposit...
We didnt think too much about that 'token' word, we only realised sth wrong the next day when my friend show it to her manager
Her manager said token can mean as commission...
Tat y we scare , like u said , she is an agent , acting as owner...
If we reallly report her, we scare tat she will say the money is the commission for her...
yah, but if you put full deposit, you get to demand a complete receipt/contract on the spot and sue him/her is she changes her mind.piggy88 wrote:Actually the owner kept on pressing me to pay her the remaining deposit n rental which is around 4K
We only want to pay her once all the tenants move out...
We dont want to take any risk, at least if it really scam, she only cheat us 1K

Doesn't work that way. A partial deposit (retainer) is a non-refundable retainer to hold the premises for a given length of time, usually until somebody else or yourself gives the full funds required.ecureilx wrote:Being a devils' advocate, the caveat is ..ausinsg wrote: If the person is really dodgy they may not be willing to get the contract stamped, and that would be a very bad sign for you.
if I am the agent/landlord, I too have to protect my interest, when the prospective tenant only puts up a part deposit .. and can have a change of mind, right ??![]()
