Contact the police. If you have a written lease and he would not allow you to move in per the lease terms, (like your post states), then file a report and take him to small claims court.
Did you meet this landlord or did you do this through the US mail?
Or worse yet, did he have you wire the funds Western Union or pay off a reloadable card?
If you paid through Western Union or off a reloadable card, then this is most likely a scam.
These rent scams are popular right now right someone claims to be an owner/landlord/agent yet can't show you the property because he is out of town or otherwise not available. It is one of the signs of a rent scam. The property may or may not be real. For sure you aren't dealing with the actual owner if the property can't be seen.
Same thing if it is an agent. If the 'real estate agent' doesn't show you the property or asks for money up front in a personal name - run away and don't provide the money, its a scam. These scammers scrape the photos and some info off various website to lure you into sending them money without seeing the property and then they dissappear.
