Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona

I signed a rental agreement for a house to move in this month, due to family health issues, I can no longer rent the property. I called the realty company to cancel the lease, I paid $150 nonrefundable deposit and a $250 refundable deposit, plus application fees, I was told the $250 is not refundable because we did not move into the house. I was not advised that I would not receive that back, there is nothing in the agreement stating I cannot get the $250 back, is this true or was I duped?

in order to assist you, it would be necessary to review the lease agreement. The landlord tenant act governs whether the landlord has an obligation to refund your money. If you would like us to review the lease agreement and provide you with specific advice on how best to get your money back, please do not hesitate to contact Stephanie Coulter of this office at 602 462 1004 and she can make arrangements with you to schedule a review and brief chat about your situation.
