I've made a deposit on a rental vacation home in Florida for Jan/March ; but didn't sign a rental agreement;

Question

can I obtain my deposit back from the landlord given the 5 month advance notice of cancellation? All I have is a receipt of deposit from the landlord. How would I go about notifying the landlord of my desire to have the deposit returned to me and cancel the verbal agreement to rent.

Answer 1

Call them up. You will probably not get your deposit back.

Answer 2

Have your receipt and the check numbers ready. And tell your landlord you need to cancel your verbal agreement the gas prize is high and you connot aford to be anywhere at this time. The sooner you do it the better off you are.

Answer 3
