Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan
Security Deposit return before you move in
I gave a landlord a $1200 security Deposit hold, but have Section 8 and had not been approved for this house yet. I signed a lease to hold the house, along with my money, she agreed to wait until they decided and now that I am not approved for the house, she will not return my security deposit. I never received possession of the home. Please let me know my rights.

Re: Security Deposit return before you move in
The landlord has no right to retain your "security deposit." If the money was given as an option to hold the house for rental, that may be an entirely different matter. What the deposit was called matters most. For more info., please contact my office at my phone number on the lawguru website.
