“keeps bonds...”

Rang up and inquired about a house for rent. I was told I had to hand over a holding fee as houses are let on a first come first served basis. They also asked for a bond of 500 pound to be paid even though I hadn't even viewed the house yet. Since we were desperate for a house as my partner was 7 month pregnant I paid it so I could crack on decorating before the baby arrived. On the same day a house more suitable for my family was put on the internet from a rival estate agents so I rang up and paid the holding fee (no bond) so I would have two irons in fire. I rang KDM and said I'm not gonna bother with the house so I will be popping in sometime today for the bond. I was told I wasn't entitled to the bond back which is theft.
Spoke to at least 10 different estate agents since all have said its totally illegal to ask and take a bond to view a house. I still have the receipt and often post it on fb and tell this tale to people who know the owners as his old school marras can't believe what a thief he has become. We went to same school, his mother taught me and we grew up in the same pit village so 500 is worth more to him than having to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Hes doing alright like cos haven't bumped into him yet despite scouring peterlee town centre like a terminator every time we shopping. Hope your mothers proud of you David.....................
