A: Did they refund the money? This would depend on the agreement that you signed with the rental company or entered into on the website. You should take a close look at any agreements that you signed and any contracts you entered into through the rental website.

If they do not refund the money you paid, you may have a legal claim against them.

A: It will depend upon the wording of your rental contract. It sounds like someone failed to do something and then at the last minute realized their error and decided to pick you to be the one that they wanted to disappoint. It sounds like you may want to consult with an attorney and have them review the contract to see if there is any type of action that can be brought on the matter. However, it may come down to how much money you are out ect. as to whether it would be worth pursing. While this scenario sounds very frustrating your amount of actual damages might be limited. Good Luck.

A: Would have to see the rental contract, but it sounds like a breach of contract. You may be able to sue for economic losses. Recommend that you see a real estate or business litigator in your area.
