Does the rental agent find a reason not to refund the deposit?

You need to pay a deposit to the landlord to rent a house. If the tenant decides to move out after the expiration of the contract, but the landlord refuses to return the deposit, or finds various reasons not to return the deposit, the tenant can solve it through negotiation or litigation. If the landlord refuses to refund the deposit for no reason, the first way is to negotiate. The deposit is generally stipulated in the contract, and the landlord's behavior is a breach of contract and can be handled in the way agreed in the contract. Secondly, it can't be solved through consultation, but through prosecution. If the landlord's malicious breach of contract violates the provisions of the contract law, he can not only ask the court to return the deposit, but also ask him to pay liquidated damages in accordance with the contract. In order to have sufficient evidence for prosecution, the following matters must be proved: the lease relationship does exist and the lease relationship has ended; There is no such thing as compensation for the landlord; The landlord did seize evidence. In order to prove the facts, the relevant information of renting houses is usually kept as evidence to support the claim. However, it should be noted that the landlord has the right to detain the money if the following circumstances occur: the tenant fails to withdraw the rent as agreed in the contract; The lessee fails to pay the rent regularly; The tenant damaged everything belonging to the landlord. Legal basis: Article 215th of People's Republic of China (PRC) Contract Law. If the lease term exceeds six months, it shall be in written form. If the parties fail to adopt a written form, it shall be regarded as an indefinite lease.
