    Deposit made for an apartment
    I gave a deposit for an apartment. My situation has changed and now I can not move in. Can I get my money back?

    It all depends on your escape clause in the lease agreement. You have to phone your landlord.

    You mention giving a deposit?

    Normally, when you do this, you also sign a lease, did you just forget to mention that, or have you given a deposit, without the signing of a lease?

    This small detail will have an effect on how your question may be answered.
