    Default Can You Get Your Deposit Returned if you Don't Sign the Lease

    7 students paid a £400 deposit to move in to a student house in September. None of the students have signed a contract yet. It has almost been 30 days since we gave the deposit to the landlord and have had no receipt and the landlord has not put them in a deposit protection scheme. The students don't want to move in to the house in September any more so can they get all their deposits back?

    Default Re: Paid a Deposit for a House, Having Singed a Contract, Can We Get Deposit Back

    This forum only deals with US law.

    Have you contacted the Landlord? You can always ask for the deposit back and tell the landlord you changed your mind. Many landlords would give the money back since they still have plenty of time to rent the apartment between now and September.
