Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Kentucky
Deposit refund??
My daughter went to look at an apartment. It was the weekend so she gave the landlord $525.00 for the deposit. The landlord was going to check ref. on monday and do a background check. She said that she couldn' have the apartment because her last landlord gave a bad ref.when she called old landlord she said she didn't give bad ref. Now the landlord won't give back the deposit, no papers were ever signed. Can she do this??
