I had signed a 6 month lease for a 1 one bedroom apartment. Paid $300 deposit and $650 one month's rent. I didn't check the apartment before I moved in - my fault. However, when I did move in with my family, the new carpet was wet, there was mold on the walls, and mushrooms growing out of the carpet. The broker who helped me get the apt was on vacation and his "secretary" couldn't do anything. She said she had spoken to the broker on the phone, said we had to forfeit our deposit. When we went to the office to turn in our key, she said she's keeping the deposit and one month's rent so that we are not obligated to the 6 month lease. Can we still get our one month's rent back? We didn't even move in.
