This is regarding the booking fee rental
I had put down booking fee for a unit but during handover discover several defect in the unit and found out that the owner was a convict or criminal so i back down from the deal causing my booking fee to be forfeited. This decision was make due to worry of safety issue and fail of hand over. I would like to ask is it legal or can go to court for this Pls advise |

Then U need to sue him again to pay up. can i go for small claim court?The entire process can take few years and by then U will be tired and no more money to sue. Always be very careful b4 u make a payment. Once is out of your hand, it is good as gone.  |

He hidding his info and house was not ready to handoverOf course U can go to small claim court. Winning there isn't a victory because if he don't pay, then U have to sue him again to force him to pay. A little savings on legal fee but a long and tired legal journey. The house a lot of problem so thats why the TA broke This is what i see |
