    Default If I Didn't Sign Lease Could I Get Some Deposit Back

    My question involves a security deposit in the State of: I live in new york city. 12 days ago I seen apt that I liked and gave a deposit of 1100 for the apt. I have gotten a much bigger place offered to me today. I asked to get my deposit back on other apt or even half of it and he is said I lost my full deposit. Only 12 days has past since I gave deposit and did not sign a lease yet. Is there anything I can do?

    I didn't sign anything. We were supposed to go this week and get lease signed.

    I'm in a sort of similar thing in arizona, and I bet NY is a lot more tenant friendly about it. Even so, here the landlord must disclose of all nonrefundable fees in writing. If landlord fails to return deposit in 14 days you can sue for twice as much, at least here.

    Did you pay with a check or in cash... do you have any way to prove: 1) that you ever gave him anything 2) that the money was specifically for a security deposit
