I have a question for those who are knowledgeable in this area. I made a NON REFUNDABLE deposit for an apartment, but after I made the deposit they change management. I was called two days prior to my move in date that I can't move in because the lady living there is still living there. So I was told over the phone that it's going to be another month. In my welcome letter, there's detail of my move in date and how much I should be paying. I've been trying to get a hold of the new management but the manager haven't return my calls, I only get to talk to people who can't do much but answer some of my questions.
They only made verbal agreement over the phone. I wanted to meet with the new manager in person and ask for a written agreement for my new move in date and to discuss more about what's included or not included in the rent. I'm not sure if they made any changes...
My question is, can I get my deposit money back if they won't giving me a written notice or if they change things around such as additional fees or removing some utilities that was included in the rent? I have my deposit receipt and a letter stating my move in date. I did not sign a lease, I was told that I can sign a lease on the day that I am given the key to the apartment.
