If he does nto own the aprtment then you do not owe him any rent unless he can show tath he is the agent of the owner. If he has nto refunded yrou lease wiothin thirty days of you leaving, and has not given you a list of the decudtions he is keeping, you are owed yrou entire deposit back. You may have to sue him to get it.

Good luck
