I paid a deposit for renting a house, but I found something was wrong when I planned to sign the contract. Can I get a refund of the deposit?

In addition, if the landlord cheated and refused to accept the deposit, it would be more difficult.

Did you give a receipt when you gave the landlord a deposit? It's easier if you have a receipt. The deposit, that is, the deposit, is calculated according to the main contract. Even if you have no money in the main contract, the deposit is invalid. As a guarantee for the performance of the contract, the Guarantee Law stipulates that the guarantee contract (that is, the deposit clause) is a subsidiary contract of the main contract. If the main contract is invalid, the deposit clause shall be invalid (otherwise agreed, as agreed). That is to say, if the contract is invalid and the deposit clause is invalid, the party receiving the deposit should return the deposit. If the main contract is invalid due to the fault of one party, the party at fault shall bear the corresponding civil liability instead of confiscating or returning the deposit twice.
