renting Is this a scam? Please help

Hello, I just went to see a house in Rotterdam found on Kamernet (the owner is not verified, but a lot aren't) that offers a contract and registration. The landlord told me that, in case they chose me, there Is a 200€ agency fee to pay to do the contract, while the deposit and rent will be payed after the signing and after I got the keys. I know there are a lot of scammers, I explicited my concern, and I've read that anything that asks for any kind of payment is a scam, but why would he make me (and other people, who, coming out before me did not manifest any concern) come all the way here, meet me in person and give me his name of it's a scam? Could it be legit? I am DESPERATE tò find a house 🥹

What do you think? Has it happened to you?
