I paid last month's rent on an apartment so that they would hold it for me. After realizing that I did not want to live there, I asked them to return my money. No lease was ever signed. Since I never lived there, got a key or anything, can I get my money back? This is in Mass.

If you paid them an application fee,you won't get that back b/c it is non-refundable. Like Tracey said, unless you signed a lease or some other form stating that in the event you should change your mind about taking the apt. they keep your money, you should get your money back. What did they tell you when you told them you changed your mind and wanted your money back? If you gave them enough notice so that they could find another tenant, i don't see why they won't give the money back.
