Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in North Carolina

Want Deposit Back

I rented an apartment (800/mo.) and paid a $400 sec. deposit.

The apartment was on a month to month lease. The day I was to move in, I told the landlord I needed to back out of the lease and get my deposit back. This is due to last minute job relocation. The landlord refused to refund my deposit because she had to hold the apartment for me. I told her I was willing to give her half of the deposit for the trouble. She still refused to return my deposit. Do I have a case?

Thank you.
