What if the deposit is not refunded?

Legal analysis: The key depends on whether you have signed a written contract. If there is a written contract, it is recommended to negotiate with the other party first. If negotiation fails, entrust a lawyer to intervene in time, collect relevant evidence of the other party's breach of contract, and then bring a lawsuit to the court in time to protect their legitimate rights and interests to the maximum extent.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Contract Law.

Article 9 The employing unit shall not detain the employee's resident identity card and other documents, and shall not require the employee to provide guarantee or collect property from the employee in other names.

Article 84 If an employing unit violates the provisions of this Law and distrains the resident identity cards and other certificates of laborers, the labor administrative department shall order it to be returned to the laborers within a time limit and punish it in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. If an employing unit, in violation of the provisions of this Law, collects property from laborers by way of guarantee or other names, the labor administrative department shall order it to be returned to the laborers within a time limit and impose a fine of not less than 500 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan per person; If it causes damage to workers, it shall be liable for compensation. If the employee dissolves or terminates the labor contract according to law, and the employer detains the employee's files or other articles, it shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
