Hi, I am here in CT for a new Job and renting a space by the month, my contract house gave me links which took me to rental homes/condo's after much searching I found a space, I looked and decided to give a down payment to hold the room, rules about my travel with the company surfaced with a minimum and maximum mileage to receive perdiem reimbersement which I still don't have all the rules, the landlord still has a tenant and I was scheduled to move into the space within a month, when the mileage rules surfaced I informed them that I can't make the move now, they are now holding my deposit which is equal to the monthly rental and told me when they get a new tenant I will get my money back, I have paper work of the check, there was never a formal rental agreement just an application, I sent them a note asking to please have me come by and pick up my deposit or forward to the address on my application, can they keep my money? Do I have any rights to get my money back, as per the CT laws, it looks like legally they can hold my money for 15 days, but I never moved in and never signed an agreement, what are my options?
Thank you

You'll have to wait at least the 15 day limit; after that if you "didn't" sign any other type of agreement with the landlord you can simply remind him of his legal obligations and request your deposit back.
