My ex-freinds parents own these apartments and my friend was supposed to b hooking me up on gettin a spot for cheap. he goes. its a 1bed. The upfront costs is first, last and security deposite. Which totals 2100.00. I go ok and we agreed on him holding the spot for me. I call around two weeks ago, and come to find out hes been accepting applications and basically renting to the person who gives him the 400.00 deposite first. I manage to give him the 400.00 first. Less than a week later my girlfriend and I have car problems and use our potential rent money to pay for the car. I notify my ex-friend of the situation. And that we are not able to afford the upfront costs. So we cant move in. we were supposed to pay oct 1st. Now hes tryin to keep the deposite. I have documentation that he acknowledges he has accepted the money and porbably has to pay it back.

my question is, how long will i legally have to wait. because we didnt sing a lease.?? Thanks .
