Can I get a refund after paying the rental deposit?

According to the law, deposit is a form of guarantee to ensure debt performance. If you pay a deposit before renting a house and then don't rent it, it's actually a breach of contract, and the deposit is non-refundable.

Therefore, before renting a house, you should think carefully and make a decision as soon as possible, so as to avoid paying the deposit and going back on our word.

Secondly, landlords and intermediaries can't detain the deposit at will.

If the renter continues to rent the house in order to avoid the loss of the deposit, the landlord and the intermediary shall return the deposit or use it as the rental price, and shall not detain it at will. If it is not returned, the renter has the right to file a breach of contract lawsuit.

Finally, landlords and intermediaries should also actively fulfill their commitments after collecting the deposit.
