Can I get my non-refundable fee back?
<p>I was looking for an apartment, and you have to contact them if you are interested, which I did. Then I talked to the lady on the phone and paid a non-refundable fee. A day later she sends me the application acknowledgment about the non-refundable fee and security deposit, but by that time I changed my mind and decided not to get the apartment. Since I haven't signed the application acknowledgment and haven't signed any lease, can I get my money back?  </p>
