<prompt> Human: For my rent agreement, i had agreed to pay 200 for a key deposit. However, I was late due to certain circumstances and are refusing to return my key deposit due to the key being late. In the contract, it does not stipulate a date in which the key must be returned nor did I get any other notification of the key return date. The contract simply says that the key must be returned upon the termination of the contract. Nor have they changed the key locks for the unit i resided in. They key was one month late. Are their actions legal? If not, how can I try to get the key deposit back? Or is there nothing to be done? Thanks,- I did not know which subreddit to post this.  <response>: It sounds to me like upon termination of the contract is the key return date. So you were expected to return the key by the end of the last day of your paid rental period. Sorry I dont have a better answer for you.
