Advice: Is this Illegal, unscrupulous, or usual practice? (feel like i got mislead by agent)
I contact agent A about apartment 1. She offers to show it to me, as well as apartment 2 in the same building (her suggestion I did not request to see it).
I view apartment 2 with her and mysterious agent B shows up (not sure who they represent).
I like apartment 2 so I apply for it. I am to be charged 15% fee by agent A.
I have not paid anything yet or signed any contracts (but I submitted the application and acknowledged the fee).
I just looked online and see that agent B has listed apartment 2 as No Fee. Agent A is going through agent B and charging me 15% fee when it's listed as No Fee.
Now, this seems slimy as hell to me. What should I do?
