Yes, a landlord in Connecticut can charge first, last, and a security deposit to renter.
Of course. In most states he has 30 days to return your deposit.
You will need either a credit card or a very large cash deposit. The renter will charge your credit card for any damages or other charges incidentally.
This depends on how your lease is written. You may (or may not) lose your deposit but if the landlord finds another renter you won't be responsible for the remaining months of rent you would have to pay until such renter is found.
That depends on the laws of the state. In Massachusetts, a pet deposit is a security deposit, and the total security deposit cannot be more than one month's rent.
Yes, if the expenses are justified.
Most apartment finders charge there fee to the aprment owner not to the renter.
If situations have deteriorated to the point of being evicted, then it is serious business. In those cases, and/all deposits the renter paid might be forfeited. Unless the written contract/lease so specifies otherwise, the renter could be out that money. The deposit would be applied to the amount owed (rent, any damages and legal fees for eviction) and the renter would be billed for the rest.
The renter must sue the property owner in court and win. Then the renter can request a judgment lien from the court. The renter should also contact the local landlord/tenant agency first to find out about their rights as a renter in their particular jurisdiction. The agency may be able to help obtain a refund if one is due.The renter must sue the property owner in court and win. Then the renter can request a judgment lien from the court.

You should be able to get your deposit back. Contact the former owner, and let them know that you are looking for your deposit.
No. You can keep the security deposit because you could not seek another renter while you were holding it for her.
Someone can find a cheap deposit account at a local bank that does not charge you very much to open a deposit account with them, or just spending no money and keeping your money yourself.
