Legal Question in Construction Law in New York
contract
We signed contract to have kitchen remodeled and gave $10,000 deposit. Contractor hit on my wife while I was not there prior to work commencing. I told the contrator that we no longer wanted to do business with him. I want my $10,000 deposit back but contrator thus far has not complied. Am I entitled to get the full deposit back?

Re: contract
It would depend on the language in the contract. However, generally, if no work was performed and materials purchased, you would be entitled to the return of your deposit.
