On Sept. 20th my son put down a deposit for an apartment. On the 22 of Sept. he decided not to take the apartment. There was no lease or anykind of agreement signed. The landlord is now saying she does not have to refund the money.. Is he out his deposit?

Unless the landlord told him it is a non refundable deposit. That may be what happened. If not, you can always sue them in small claims court.
