i have signed a pre-contrat to reserve an apartment for rent (contrato de reserva de alquiler) and paid deposit to the owner. After 3 days and some life circumstances, I have contacted the owner and explained to him that I would like to cancel it. The owner said he won´t return the deposit back of 800e for the loss I have caused him.
Can I received my deposit back or does he has the right to keep it?
