Hi Shelia..

Did you have a written agreement that says all the details including what the funds were for and what happens if he 'changes his mind'?

Common sense would say that would have become a s.deposit

and now becomes the rent you did not receive.. --207.55.xxx.xxx

I take a holding FEE, and it is non-refundable if hte persons backs out. When a lease is signed, the holding FEE becomes the security DEPOSIT. This is clearly spelled out in a written agreement at the time I take the FEE.

What kind of agreement did you have? Was it in writing? Had you signed a lease?

In most areas, it matters a lot what the amount received was. Generally, a FEE is not refundable. Often a DEPOSIT is. --23.228.xxx.xxx
