showed apartment to two clients, both of whom want it;
Hi Group,
I might have messed up a bit in communicating. I showed an apartment to a prospective rental family, quoted a price to 'assist them in making up their mind,' and they texted me, 'We'll let you know our answer in a week." A week has passed and they texted me to say, " "We'd love to take your apartment." So I texted, 'Let's meet to sign the contract at your current apt.," and they texted, "Let's meet at your apt. as we want to see it again and take measurements, and discuss terms." I got the feeling that they were giving it a second look, and might change their mind, so I showed it to someone else, and he said,"I want the apartment." Am I obligated to give first dibs to the first people I showed it to? I never explicitly said I was holding it for them, but I think I gave them that impression.
