If you were told you were going to get a rental lease from a Realtor and did not, could I take legal action?

A realtor told me the management co. for this property approved my rental application but a week later the realtor said they decline my lease request after I was promised to get the lease. Could I take legal action against the realtor? I spent time packing and calling moving companies and filling out forms for a new school for my kids with the expectation of moving the 1st of the month.If you were told you were going to get a rental lease from a Realtor and did not, could I take legal action?
If you don't have anything in writing such as a signed lease proving evidence that they accepted you as a tenant, you really don't have any standing to win a claim court.If you were told you were going to get a rental lease from a Realtor and did not, could I take legal action?
No, but you might have a claim against the management company. But it would depend upon why they pulled the approval of your application. Without knowing all of the details it's really not possible to say.
It would be easier if you had a signed contract. Courts tend to be skeptical of anyone trying to reconstruct what happened in a series of conversations.
Unless the lease was actually signed--the answer is no. However, if your application was approved... try to find out why you did not get the apartment.


You did not state whether any money was transferred. If you transferred money (meaning gave them a deposit) then perhaps you may have an agreement there.
