My landlord miscommunicated with the realtor about a new roommate. The realtor sent the prospective roommate an email, asking for a $250 fee to be added to the lease! First of all, my landlord agreed that a new roommate will NOT be on the lease. Secondly, the roommate asked me if there was any fee to apply, and I said no, so the $250 charge came as a total surprise and caused her to back out. There wasn't supposed to be a fee involved. The roommate was only required to complete an application, not a fee plus application plus being added to the lease!

I am still pissed that this happened. My problems would have been largely resolved had she been able to move in.
