Paid security deposit on rental property, you had to pay security deposit along with the application, got the contract, disagree with owners terms, he's not willing to change, if I don't sign can I get my security deposit returned.

Dallas,

The answer is yes. The application fee is gone forever, but there is no such thing as a contract that is not signed. It's merely dead trees and useless unless it's signed.
