as long as you didn't sign the lease, there can be no problem. if you did then it is up to the leaser.

If you had applied to rent a house or an apartment, there should be no deposit involved. You just applied. Now if you had signed the lease, paid the deposit, got the keys, etc. then sometimes it's up to the management. Some will just want to be an *** and not give it to you, some others would return your deposit since you really didn't move in. Your question isn't really clear so I'm thinking you had just applied for something but not signed a contract.

The purpose of the deposit is to take the place off the market while they run a credit and background check.If you clear the checks and decide you no longer want the place you are not entitled but if you don't meet the criteria of the lessor then they they should return it.At least that's the way it seems to work in Texas.You have to realize that they are taking the $ in faith that you will take the place once you've cleared the checks.

It depends if you signed a lease, then you are responsible for all rent for the entire term of the lease. If it was a pre lease deposit, depending on what u signed you should be entitled to a refund. But it all depends on your state laws and what u signed.
