More details to this question:
My Fiance and I put a deposit on an apartment and was supposed to move in today. The balance of the funds will be on Friday. When I spoke to the landlord/management company, I was told that they will not be able to change my move-in date. So I then asked if I could get my deposit back. I was told no. Is this legal?

Yes - you don't get to make deals and then change them at the expense of others without penalty.
