If he does not own the property and cannot priove tha the has authority to act on the behalf of the owner, you do not owe him anything. There is no reason for you to sign anything. If he does not return the deposit within thirty days after you leave, you may be able to sue him for more than that in small claims court or associate circuit court.
Good luck
