Signed a lease and paid deposit but never moved in ?

By Cleo

Hi I really need some help im 18 & at the end of december I signed a lease on a place & paid a deposit. I was due to move in at the beginning of jan but when i went to move in the tv wouldnt work & i would have been there with no tv & nothing to do so I didnt move in & told the landlord. He said he would contact a tv repair man & to sort a day for him to fix it. Theman rang the next day & I live an hour away so I said id be there 4 days later but he said he couldnt fix it then & it could be a couple of weeks. The rent was due & I told the landlord Id pay it when the tv was fixed but he got thick & said the rent is due & organising a day for the tv man to come was my problem & if i didnt want to move in he would find someone else because there is plenty that want it. So a few days later I told him I wouldnt be able to afford the apartment because the work i was supposed to start didnt start & I didnt move in but i cleaned it all (which I did cause it needed it) . I was wondering am i entitled to my deposit back? I really need the money too
