My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Washington, DC

I put a deposit on an apartment that was shown to me with wood floors and advertised as having wood floors. The agent informed me that they were going to carpet the apartment (prior to my submitting an application), but that the property would be granted on a first come/first served basis. So, I submitted the application and the security deposit without seeing the carpet, however, I expressed that I wanted to see the apartment with carpeting before signing the lease. After viewing the apartment with carpeting, I decided I did not want to live in the apartment anymore. The real estate agent is refusing to refund my deposit, claiming liquidated damages. I am arguing that the apartment was advertised under false pretenses and they showed me an apartment with wood floors, and then wanted me to move into a different apartment with carpeting. Does my argument stand to reclaim my deposit?
