Part of that was the security deposit for an apartment they aren’t renting to you? I saw in the other post, this is Florida? You are treating them with too much leniency, this is a scam. I wouldn’t pay for more than 30-50 in application fees and if I’m paying a security deposit its because I have signed a lease. If they aren’t a chain place, chargeback if you can, and report them wherever is appropriate then warn others.
