if u didnt sign anything...i dun see y u need to pay rm4k as dep. Both of u can just walk out of the deal anytime rite? And your lawyer.....is she a lawyer or wat.....y so unpro one? Then need her for wat?

Btw, you shd have sign an agreement that if you are unable to get a loan or watsoever, u do not need to pay anything(maybe just lawyer fees), and will get back your dep.
