Agent asking for $1000 for security deposit?!
Long story short, saw a house yesterday in Brampton (😒), told my agent to make an offer only for the landlord's agent to come and say i would need 2 Mil rental insurance and he said to my agent 'if they (as in us) can pay $3200 for rent than they can pay $1000 too as the security deposit which would be refunded back at the end of the lease.
I checked both of these online and the 2 MIL is the responsibility of the landlord's, not the tenant unless i may have missed something?
When i questioned my agent to ask him about the security deposit which is illegal, he told her its for the key deposit. WTH! Are the keys gold plated or something?
So we clearly know what that agent is doing is not right. So my question is if I leave a review on Google stating this is how he operates or something, can he come after me or sue me or anything?
