I wonder when this will become as widespread as statins

I'm moving from out-of-state to Boston for a new job. I ended up paying a $3k broker fee over Zelle to the real estate agent that was hired by my landlord. The real estate agent introduced herself as "Hi, my name is X and I work for your landlord." She also negotiated on my landlord's behalf, pressured me to sign the lease, saying my hesitation was causing mental distress for "the poor landlord." This is all documented over text messages and emails.
I signed the lease and paid the broker fee but now realize I was bamboozled, feel cheated/disgusted, and requested my broker fee back, but they haven't responded.
Just in case they refuse, can I just withhold rent without this becoming a long drawn-out legal battle?
