Here's what happened. Early January I found a place to rent; I would be renting a bedroom from the owner and sharing the house with him. Beforehand I told him that I would be out of town until the 23rd of Jan. and asked if I could move in on the 24th. He called me on the 2nd of January and told me that the place was mine if I still wanted it. I accepted. (the rent was $400 a month plus $100 refundable deposit)
I told him that I could pay him the $100 deposit before I left out of town and I would pay him the rest when I moved in on the 24th.
While I was out of town circumstances changed and now I do not need to rent anymore. My question is: should I ask for my $100 deposit back? Do I have entitlement to it? Ethically what would you all do in my shoes? Or should I cut my losses and move on?
I really have no idea
Cheers!
