Hello there.

I placed a holding deposit for a house. After some further discussions with the landlord, we agreed to NOT proceed further eith the rental process. Can you offer some insights about how I can get my holding deposit back?

Thank you

Yeah, that’s what I thought. For now the application is still in the stage of gathering references, and we aborted the continuation of the process. Any idea what he should press exactly @Mark10?
