How long can a Landlord keep your deposit?

I recently entered into a lease agreement for a condo. Upon walkthrough the premisis was flooded. There was a clause in the lease agreement stating that if the premisis was not turned over with in 3 days, I could terminate the lease and receive my deposit back promptly. What does promptly mean? 1 week, 2 weeks, a month? As of now I have had no luck getting my funds back.
