Hello all,
I am new to Chicago, IL and unfamiliar with the laws. I recently filled out an application for and put a deposit on a room in a high-rise, 13th floor. I have yet to sign the lease. The management company that owns the building calls me today and informs me that the current tenant wants to stay, and that they are moving me to the 12th floor! They are saying it's the same layout (immediately below the unit I paid for) and $5 cheaper.
I wouldn't make a big stink about this but the 13th floor was practically penthouse. I put a deposit on a room with the perfect view. Is it ok for them to move me like that, after I put the deposit down?
I am really dissapointed...but going to see the 12th fl unit tomorrow. Hopefully it's clean... any input is apprecaited!![]()
