How long does it take to get a deposite back w/o going through with a lease?
By
Ok i need some serious help:
My ex-freinds parents own these apartments and my friend was supposed to b hooking me up on gettin a spot for cheap. he goes. its a 1bed. The upfront costs is first, last and security deposite. Which totals 2100.00. I go ok and we agreed on him holding the spot for me. I call around two weeks ago, and come to find out hes been accepting applications and basically renting to the person who gives him the 400.00 deposite first. I manage to give him the 400.00 first. Less than a week later my girlfriend and I have car problems and use our potential rent money to pay for the car. I notify my ex-friend of the situation. And that we are not able to afford the upfront costs. So we cant move in. we were supposed to pay oct 1st. Now hes tryin to keep the deposite. I have documentation that he acknowledges he has accepted the money and porbably has to pay it back.
my question is, how long will i legally have to wait. because we didnt sing a lease.?? Thanks .

Would you take a friend to small claims court if he/she owes you money? while trying to avoid a repossession until I got the money to pay, I switched cars with a friend.

You shouldn’t have to wait at all. The laws in my state say when a tenant moves out of the building that you have 30 days to return the deposit less the amount that was needed to fix the things that needed to be fixed which has to include copies of the reciepts. So if you never moved in then you are intitled to get that money right back.
