How can I terminate a warehouse lease contract and get refund due to the agent's breach?
Hi!
An agent provided us with misleading information regarding a warehouse like fake pictures and misrepresented the size. He said it's 3660 but in reality, it's 3076.
While we had reached a verbal agreement with him with coordination between him and the owner, and through WhatsApp and Email, they refused the terms we agreed upon during the contract signing.
They claimed that the terms needed to be agreed upon solely by the owner.
Due to the owner's unwillingness to find a mutually acceptable resolution, we decided not to proceed with renting the warehouse.
We have transferred the amount for the broker fees and the amount for the security deposit to the agent as requested. We received a receipt from the agent.
We requested to return the transferred funds. We have all the necessary documentation. We asked the agent for refunding the transferred amount and we didn't get a reply from him yet.
In case he refused to transfer the funds, we kindly request your legal assistance in this matter.
Since the agent violated the terms agreed upon, and the unit agreed to be rented is different from the real unit, because of this breach, you can file a lawsuit for termination of the contract and request a refund of the amount paid.
Send them a legal notice through the notary to return the amounts within one week.
If they do not return the amount, the only option will be to file a civil case against them.
