Review: I enter into an agreement to do an online application for a rental property for $850 for an house that was agreed between the me and my agent and the landlord and his agent but when I didn't agreed to his move in date the agreed amount changed back to $950. If I knew that the agreed amount $850 was a condition from the beginning I would not have spent the application fee of $45 to do the application because I knew that I could not move before May 1st and I have in email that I told my agent that May 1 was my intented move in date and I was told ok and to but this in the application when I filled it out.This is poor communication from the landlord and his leasing agent and I spent a fee that should have not been spent, I was upfront with my date and I have a email on March 27th, 4 days before I filled out the application stating my move in date would be May 1st and nothing was ever stated that the amount of monthly rent would be changed if not moved in this date. The location of the house is [redacted] Va.Desired Settlement: I wish to get my $45 back for the application as I spent this for nothing as the agreement is not valid.
