How many days will the leasing agent hold the property before it gets?
What did you agree to? Did you give a date when you would be moving in and the landlord agreed? The security deposit may be a hold deposit - that is what we call the money received before the tenant signs the lease and moves in and it is forfeit if the tenant does not sign the lease, pay their first month and security deposit and move in on the agreed date. We would put the apartment up immediately after the agreed date unless the applicant makes other arrangements with the landlord.
