I singed a lease but I was unable to move in the realtor will sue

Posted

Hello, I was working with my Realtor and he found a place for me, I signed the lease put a 1st month deposit to hold the property and waited for the HOA approval. When I got a approved an family emergency presented and I notified my Realtor that I was not able to move in, the contract stated that if I terminated the contract early I was responsible for a penalty up to 2 month of the lease amount, I negotiated down with the landlord to have the last month of penalty reduced and she agreed. My realtor office requested the commission from the other Realtor and now the other Realtor is calling me to tell me that my Realtor requested commission and because it, now, she wants me to either move in or to give her an additional deposit, my question is, since I only gave her 1 month deposit and 1 month penalties only and the contact states that the penalties for an early termination of the lease is 2 month, I am obligated to move in to the property or do I have to give her an Extra month penalty in order for the other Realtor pay my Realtor his commission?
