I just have to commnet on someone being mad because they decided to put down a holding fee for a townhome and then changed their mind and then be pissed because they didn't get the holding fee back. Any QUALITY place does that and if you think the rent is outrageous, why put down a holding fee to begin with?? It sounds like you should be upset with yourself and your fiance for being so ignorant. If you only have a "beer budget" make sure you don't look at the more expensive places--it will just make you feel bad.
