Long story short. A lady (T) wanted to rent my house at the beginning of this month. She is in Section 8 program so she can not pay me rent until her current lease ends this month. So she asked me to hold the house for her so that we can start the process with section 8 office. And She proposed that she will pay money to compensate my loss rent for this month. My monthly rent for this house is $1395, I discounted to $930 for her. Now that the paperwork wasn't approved by the housing office, she wants her money back or signs the lease with this amount of money deducted. Isn't it right. Please read below for the agreement we signed. I know I screwed up a little bit with this agreement but I want to know what I can do according to this agreement.
Please help! This is my first time to rent our house out.
