<prompt> Human: Hello,I found a great townhouse via craigslist in Ohio. Its a sublease, as Ill be finishing out the remainder of the lease of the current residents until June. I may reconsider re-leasing because its a nice place in a safe neighborhood, and the price is good with no chance of it being raised or so Ive been told by management. However, when I went in yesterday to get the lease signed over to me, I was told I needed to pay a one-time, non-refundable administration fee of 199. This was the first time I heard about this fee. Even the current residents didnt know about it until yesterday. The current residents paid a deposit that they will be refunded after the lease ends. I dont need to pay any type of deposit, just the admin fee. I asked management what the fee covered exactly and a supervisor explained it to me that its for expansions to the property such as processing and a new gym. When the current residents signed, they were required to pay deposits, but since a new company took over the property, they no longer accept deposits and simply require all tenants to pay the admin fee.My issue is this: if Im taking over an existing lease, shouldnt the parameters be the same? Why must I pay an admin fee if I only choose to stay there for the remainder of the lease which is just a few months? What happens if I dont resign a lease? I brought up the idea that I hold off on paying the admin fee until after I resign because it simply wouldnt be worth it to me to pay it if I only stay there until June and choose not to resign. They said theyd get back to me on that and I ended up not signing the sublease. Do I have any recourse here? Its not just that Im upset I wasnt told about the admin fee ahead of time I am upset about that . . . its that Im upset that I have to pay it when all Im doing is taking over an existing lease that didnt require it and I may only stay until the sublease ends. What can I do here, if anything? I live in Ohio if that makes a difference.TLDR; In lieu of paying a deposit, Im supposed to pay a non-refundable Admin Fee that wasnt required of the original tenants that Im taking over the lease for. What can I do?  <response>: rlegaladvice but I doubt you can do anything about it. They can change whatever fees that way beforehand. If you dont like it, dont sign.
