Refund of the deposit

Hi, i was renting a flat at Atlas No12A this Year 2022, i have requesting my cash deposit back. i have been given stories to a point it's not a joke anymore. i was told the owner is out of the country. which is not my problem. i went back to south Africa again in July and was told another story. i have sent so many mails with no feedback. all i want is my deposit back. Till this day i have not received my money or any feedback from them. they just have bad service with everything from management of the buildings to their office staff. they are used to giving students' bad service. now they think that they can give to the working-class people. I would appreciate any help and thank you
