QUESTION
Is there any case law for unreturned security deposit that could help in court?
Asked on Apr 04th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
I paid security deposit but didn’t receive a lease at the time. When I finally did it, had changed significantly. We no longer were able or willing to rent the home and did not sign a lease. The agent/owner is now claiming that I would be charged 3 weeks rent since he supposedly took it off the market.

You are in small claims court, I doubt that any case law can help you. Just go in, tell your story, tell how the lease changed and get your money.

Under this set of circumstances you never took possession of the property so no tenancy was created. File a complaint in Small Claims Court.
