A Ukrainian newcomer says she learned Calgary's rental rules the hard way after almost losing a $1,000 apartment deposit — and says she wants to help others avoid a similar situation. The couple was struggling to find a place to live when an apartment opened up in downtown Calgary. She understood it was a fee meant to hold the apartment but said she wasn't given any paperwork explaining the deposit. Korotun wanted her deposit money back and said the rental company told her no.
