Does this sounds like it qualifies for a refund ?

I paid an apartment security deposit for a move in day of November 5, 2022.

The complex has a policy that you cannot get a refund for the deposit unless you cancel before 3 days after application approval.

Like a week later I was told that the current tenant extended their lease which pushed my move in date behind.

If they would have told me this before 3 days after approval then I could have told them never mind and got my money back . But they waited later after they confirmed I could move in at that date .

I canceled because the move in date didn’t work for me , they said I cant get refunded for the deposit not because I had to before 3 days after approval.
