That's what it's for.

No one pays several hundred dollars just to get on a waiting list and expect it to be nonrefundable. Plus, the security deposit is for any damage/cleaning they have to do when you move out. Not just for the wait list.

A damage deposit and a security deposit are not the same thing. I've never heard of a wait list for an apartment. I would look at whatever you signed when you gave them the money. If you didn't sign anything or have a specific agreement on what would happen if you backed out, then yeah, you're pretty much hosed.

That must be something specific for your apartment/area. Usually you put down the security deposit for the waiting list so the apartment complex knows you're serious and then they just use that as your actual security deposit once you get the apartment. Why give the apartment complex say $700 wait list deposit, have them refund that to you and then give them an additional deposit for the actual apartment? That makes no sense.
