Owner collected $200 deposit in November of 2014 with the promise to cut down tree in February/March of 2015, if weather permits. In January of 2015, owner comes by my home to tell me that he doesn't think he can cut down the tree for the price he quoted me and he will return my deposit to me if I couldn't pay more. When I talked to my husband about our conversation, my husband agreed to accept the deposit back. When I called the owner to get the deposit back, the owner told me that on his contract, it says he doesn't have to return the deposit and hung up the phone.
