Motherfrick.
You must have missed my cryfest last August. Was a clusterfrick for sure.
$790 wasn't even half of it. Rented a duplex for $1500/month because it was the only decent place I could find. It sat empty in June and July. At the time, I had disposable savings and figured it would be worth having the place. To be fair, it was a hell of a deal for the area. shite happened and I lost a bunch of money on maintenance issues with my rental property and both of our cars needed expensive repairs. Moved to the duplex for three days. Then moved out. Spent $4500 on a three day stay in hell.
Live and learn. Can I deduct the $790?

If it was a deposit, doesn't look like it (not a tax lawyer and not giving tax advice): LINK
"Fees and deposits. Fees you paid to an agency to get the services of a care provider, deposits you paid to an agency or preschool, application fees, and other indirect expenses are work-related expenses if you have to pay them to get care, even though they aren't directly for care. However, a forfeited deposit isn't for the care of a qualify- ing person if care isn't provided."
