我的agent说holding deposit是暂时的,即使申请人A不搬入,找到下一个申请人B搬入之后就要退还A的holding deposit。我查了一下网上说" Non-refundable holding deposits are illegal. In California, there is no such thing as a nonrefundable holding deposit. If a landlord asks for a fee to hold a unit, this is illegal, especially if the landlord states that it is nonrefundable."
我现在有一个申请人8月中旬才打算搬入,所以我想如果法律能允许收holding deposit,如果对方反悔我可以没收这个的话, 就好了。请指教!谢谢!
