Yet Another Landlord/Tennant Question
A friend of mine foolishly gave a landlord the damage deposit for a rental before signing a lease and inspection. Now my friend's circumstances have changed and they no longer need to move into this rental. The prospective landlord already cashed the check and is not being cooperative in returning their money. They were planning on signing a 1 year lease before moving in, so this is not a month to month verbal contract.
Is there something in the Residential Tenancies Act that covers this situation?
And yes I realize this can be frustrating for landlords to have a tennant back out.
