I have paid a deposit for rental property but have not signed a lease and now I can no klonger take the property can I get the deposit refunded

What was the verbal agreement about renting the property ?

Not enough info. First, with ANY question about law, you need to specify your general location as laws vary by area. Second, you need to tell us how long ago you gave the deposit, what agreement you made with the landlord, how long until you were supposed to take possession.
