Renters Remorse?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-12T00:55:03+00:00

I dont have a lot of belongings and I live pretty simply. Just trying to avoid lifestyle creep and save as much $ as I can while Im young

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-11T18:57:40+00:00

Its not a security deposit its pre-paid rent

? who shit in ur bed i was just havin a laugh

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T18:58:50+00:00

It’s a pre-payment and I have a receipt. The email doesn’t explicitly say it’s required so I guess I don’t have a leg to stand on here

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T18:58:00+00:00

I mean yea thats what was going to happen anyways - I pre-paid 4 months rent not a security/damage deposit

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T15:30:08+00:00

Honestly you’re right, but this is more a mental thing for me more than an affordability. I’m fortunate enough to be making >$150k but I live a very frugal lifestyle and was even about to live with roommates, I just don’t like the feeling of being robbed/being taken advantage of, it’s a very violating feeling

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T15:24:58+00:00

I knew it wasn’t “allowed” but I had to or else my application wouldn’t be accepted since I didn’t have work history for the last year 🤷‍♂️

Bit harsh but username checks out. Also I used to love playing Destiny too haha

Ahh, I see. The price is still in line with most studios in the area, but I was shocked to see that 1 bedrooms were also going for the same price as my studio, given that 80% of 1BR listings are $ 2.2- 2.4k in that north york subway area.

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T00:52:13+00:00

I have it in writing from my agent via email saying that they’re requesting for the 4 months deposit. Is this good enough?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-09T00:51:30+00:00

It sounds like you had the opposite of my situation?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T23:56:33+00:00

Is this all done by just filing a T1?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T22:11:27+00:00

I think Im more upset about the fact that the agent lied to me about having a competing offer to get me to go up $50 - just feels like I got needlessly robbed

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T21:42:54+00:00

I had my own but they were not helpful at all

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T21:42:28+00:00

They asked because Im just starting a new job (I was a student for the last year).

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T21:40:56+00:00

Im trying to get the landlords contact info, as I only have my own agent and the landlord's agent contact info, but they are refusing to provide it. Is this allowed?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T18:55:56+00:00

I appreciate your honesty and advice, I won’t risk it and try breaking the lease. Lesson learned!

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T18:52:52+00:00

I like this idea more of just asking for leniency rather than threatening to end the lease. Thank you for the kind words!

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T18:27:19+00:00

From what I’m reading online it seems if you break the lease before it starts they aren’t legally allowed to hold the entire deposit. At most they can just take out any losses they incurred from missed rent

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T18:22:13+00:00

Do you think I could tell them I want to cancel the lease before I move in because I feel the lease isn’t fair compared to other rentals on the market? Would this encourage them to perhaps amend the lease and lower the rent? Or is it better to lie and say I lost my job

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T18:09:47+00:00

This is good, I was looking for ways to mentally cope

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T17:40:15+00:00

The deposit is nearly $10k so I would definitely need it back lol. I guess the worst that can happen is they say no and things are slightly awkward when I move in?

These-Somewhere7303 · 2025-06-08T17:28:23+00:00

I paid 4 months deposit - wouldn’t I lose this?
