Jul 14, 2017 at 11:35 | comment | added | cinico | @fedorqui At the end I received an angry call from the real estate agency guy. I always stood with the idea that I didn't signed anything and therefore I'm not obliged to accept the contract (he strongly argued against this saying that the verbal contract was valid). Then he just started saying that I could go away by just paying them the contract fee. I told them that I knew that fee was illegal because they were representing the owner. He argued a bit, screamed some more, but eventually gave up. I didn't signed or pay anything. | |

Which contracts have to be in writing in order to be binding is a matter of law and custom, and varies from country to country. | |
