Am I obligated to pay rental/broker fee or not?

I went to see an studio with a rental agent today. He had me sign a broker agreement before seeing the studio. I thought I was certain that I wanted the place so I filled out the application form. Then a couple hours later, I change my mind so I called the agent back and told him so. I DID NOT sign a lease nor and did not give any rent money. Am I obligated to pay the broker's fee? I feel that I don't have to since I didn't sign a lease.

Update:

I live in Massachusetts.

    No......A Realtor/agent gets paid only when the deal closes. Be careful, you might have obligated yourself to use only him until the expiration date of that agreement, but if it were only an application you are not obligated to the property or him or to pay any fee.

    No, you at the instant are not obligated to pay the gratuity. in the event that they at the instant are not discretionary, then they might desire to be of course defined as necessary or categorised as provider costs somewhat than gratuities. besides the shown fact that, the situation is quite corresponding to eating place wait team interior the U. S., the place the staff remember commonly on the gratuities to make up a extensive area of their salaries. The cruise line instruments out regulations for the way lots you may desire to tip extremely some group individuals at the same time along with your wait team, cabin steward, and so on. it truly is in many cases totally defined with the aid of the cruiseline of their tips and can commonly be discovered on the internet website. Many cruiselines have moved to an computerized gratuity equipment, and the reported volume is straight away further to your deliver account to paid along with your different onboard costs. if it truly is the case, interior the progression which you get carry of undesirable provider or don't experience that the entire volume is warranted, you may bypass to the purser's table and request to have the computerized gratuity adjusted. (you additionally could have one extra volume further for good provider.) because of the fact the gratuities are discretionary, i've got discovered that that is between the least perplexing places for holiday companies to characteristic in extras. on account that cruise fares tend to be quite fastened and that is perplexing for one company to sell an itinerary for under others, I commonly see that cruise professionals will comprise pre-paid gratuities in the time of sales and promotions. On a protracted cruise, the gratuities can truly upload up, so taking advantage of the holiday agent's grant to pay them can save lots.

    No. The fee is for closing the sale, not for showing you a home.
