[HIGHLIGHTS] Should the landlord refund the rent if the agent runs away after collecting the rent?

Jia found an intermediary company and issued a "House Entrustment Agency" to it. The agency did not pay the rent to Jia as agreed and was unable to be contacted.

Jia found the lessee, Ms. Sun, to negotiate the lease but failed, so he took away the water and electricity card of the house, and Ms.Sun was forced to move out. The court rejected Ms Sun's request that Jia be jointly responsible for returning the rent and deposit.
