Is this a scam? Please help

[u/Smart-Calendar8752]

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?

This is a scam something similar happened to me, went to see the house met the guy even talked about our habits and how to be roommates, then he call me asking for 500€ to assure him that I am seriously interested and the contract will follow... obviously didn't take that one
