deposit taken never moved in

[melonrobotics]

Hello, my wife and I put a deposit on a town home, but found a better option immediately after. we were set to move in feb 1st so we contacted them 3 weeks in advance. They refuse to give us back the deposit though we have never moved in. They also did not return our calls within the first week of giving the deposit. Is there anything we can do and is this legal?

Thank you.

Joshua

A deposit means you have entered into a contract. If you leave a deposit then cancel, normally you forfeit the deposit.
