So my husband and I just signed a lease with a company for a house we paid 3400 for the security deposit, 200$ for a "lease fee" , 275 for a prorate to move in on the 27th. Well It is now almost the 29th and the company will not give us the code yet to get into the house because aprils month rent check has not cleared yet. I understand that is their policy but I'm frustrated that they told me they will not refund the pro-rate because that money was already paid to the owner because we agreed that is when we will move in. Is there a law to protect against charging a pro rate and then the tenant isn't actually occupying the premises yet? Thanks!!
