What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I put down a holding deposit for $600. there was only a receipt stating he received the money & never gave an agreement for the use of the holding deposit or if it would be refundable. A couple of days later we decided we don't want the house anymore & he agrees to mail back all of my deposit. 2-3 days later he says that i wont be getting any money back. Later, he says i can either end it & only get $300 back or go forward with the lease & we both (landlord & tenant) agreed to continue on with the lease & sign it the next day. I try to get a hold of him for the next two days & he doesn't answer until the 3rd day and says he does not want us to sign the contract and will only return a portion of the holding deposit. Is there any way i can get all of my money back?
