 Thanks for the advice. It is most definitely a lesson learned. 

 When she says, you have to put down the deposit in order to put in an app. That's a lie. I spoke to several people at the company and they said it's not true. Even when I messaged her and brought up her lying about putting the deposit down, she didnt respond with, no thats our policy. She said maybe if it was the first week you could get your money back. Her boss even said it's not true. But he did say he also does that as well. If I were completely wrong they never would have told me I could've gotten my money back if it were the first week if that was truly their policy. BUT I will admitt that I should've known NOT to put a deposit down when ONLY filling out the application. 

 What are my accusations?

The Application say's, (Application fee non refundable). The lady said the deposit was refundable, and said we had to put it down to fill out an app. We still were looking at other properties. The deposit we put down was for us to put in the app... Not a deposit for the home. We put the deposit in only because she said we had to in order to fill out the app. 

I'm lost on how you know this story entirely when you weren't the agent. The agent, who's name is Nicole told us that we HAVE to put a deposit down just to fill out the app. I spoke to your her boss Mike yesterday and he said he does the same thing. He requires people to put down the deposit just to fill out the app. I went to your office yesterday and some lady gave me an app for a different property and told me I am NOT required to put a deposit down just to fill out an app. Which means Nicole lied to us. 

And yes I did come into your office. You have to get buzzed in. I came in at the same time the lady filling out the application for cleaning came in.  It was 2:40pm. And there was a black guy sitting in the chair to the right of the door looking at paper work. So for you to speak on the story, please know the story. 

The problem is Nicole lied and said we have to put the deposit down just to fill out the app. If we put in the application, with the fees and no deposit. Then after we got approved we put the deposit down, we'd know we couldn't get our deposit back if we changed our mind. 

But you agent clearly lied when she said we HAVE to put it down to fill out the app. 

If she didn't lie, there would be no problem. 

So if you weren't there for her to tell us, you HAVE to put the deposit down to fill out the app... Don't speak on what you THINK  you know entirely.

we were going to rent.

Me and my girl friend went to look at a property in Independence Mo. After we looked at it we asked if we could put in an application for it. The agent said yes, but we would have to put half of the deposit down also. She said it was refundable. We put down 70 dollars for the 2 applications, and 430 for half of the deposit. We got approved and the agent asked when could we move in. We said a month from now. 2 weeks later we decided not to move in and the agent said our deposit is not refundable because they took the house off the market when we said we're moving in. (Which is not true because we seen it still up while we were looking for other homes). I went to their office and pretended to be interested in another home and the front desk women told me that all i had to do was fill out the application, and pay 35 dollars for the fee. I then asked if i had to put down a deposit also, and she said no thats not required. We never signed any document's other than the application. We never committed to buying this home. We would have never put down the deposit if the agent wouldn't have told us it's required just to put the application in. I spoke to her boss and he said he require's people to put the deposit down also. I then informed him that she lied and said we had to do it, and that that's not their policy, he then got mad and hung up on me. Is there any way I can get my money back?
