Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
Security deposit at Apartment complex
I went to an apartment complex to
lease an apartment. I picked out an
apartment and asked to review the
lease overnight. I was told I had to
leave a refundable security deposit to
take the lease with me which I did.
After reviewing the lease it was so
one sided in the apartment complex's
favor that I decided not to sign it.
The complex deposited the security
deposit and said it was not refundable
because I did not sign the lease nor
did I complete the application for the
apartment. Do I have any legal
recourse to recover the security
deposit?

Re: Security deposit at Apartment complex
By Florida law, a security deposit on an apartment is always refundable unless the apartment is damaged. Only a pet deposit is nonrefundable. You get your money back.
