I don't know the laws of your state and this isn't my area of law, but my best quick and dirty guess is that you could probably get your money back, but I don't think you'll be able to enforce the verbal lease that you two had. But that wouldn't be the smartest thing to do anyhow.
This is difficult because it's a he-said-she-said type deal. Good luck! Maybe someone with a similar experience will be able to help you out.

I don't know. I've given hold deposits to apartment complexes in Georgia prior to signing a lease so they wouldn't rent the apartment out from under me. The deposit switched over to security once I signed the lease. We didn't have a "verbal lease" per se. So, I wouldn't want to try to go after that. I want to get as far away as possible!
