I contracted to rent a cottage (" [redacted] ") in the Adirondacks in May I paid the $1,security deposit on Nov 22, On April 12, 2017, I paid the balance of $2,130, for a total of $4,paid out On 5/19/2017, the day before arriving at the rental cottage, our family had a major medical problem which precluded our ability to use the cottage In addition to cancelling our entire family's vacation plans, we had to regretfully pull out of the rental cottageWe never even entered New York State Admittedly, this was a last-minute cancellation, but I hoped that the owner of the cottage, Barry M [redacted] , would understand a medical emergency This is based on the following contract language: " in the event Tenant cancels the Lease, the security deposit is non-refundable ..." I understand that is the purpose of a security deposit However, the owner then REFUSED to return to me the balance of $2130, which is not part of the security deposit He kept the ENTIRE fee
