Can my grandma get back her deposit for an apartment if she decided not to rent the place anymore?

My grandma put in deposit for an apartment, she was suppose to move in but the manager did not finish fixing the place so the move in date was push back. During that time, another complex for low incomes had a vacant apartment and gave her the offer. The rent was cheaper and the place was better so she decided to take this one instead. She did call and tell the manager of the place she deposit to rent the place out. Can she get back all or part of her deposits?|||Read the contract. Everything hinges on that.


Because the place was not ready on the day she was supposed to move in, the contract was possible violated by the landlord.


A clause on deposits might make it possible for your grandmother to get back the deposit. Or it may have included a stipulation that the deposit is nonrefundable since it will form part of her rent, fees etc.


Read the contract|||Yes. Your grandma can get her deposit back because the apartment was not ready by the move in date, she has not take possession of the apt and no expense has incurred, therefore, she can cancel the contract without penalty.|||I think she should be able to get her money back
