To 2:
It's hard to prove
A signed contract is not a proof, only a receipt written by the owner
proves that he\she has received money and therefore has to pay a tax.
Advanced owners know that well and if they didn't sign anything except
for a contract (dogovor) they will not fear for themselves getting in
trouble.
If a tenant has receipt that he\she has paid money than that might be
useful in this case and influence the owner's decision.
Anyway, you have to know that for this case there is no prison sentence,
only a fine.

I guess most of the potential ideas have been suggested but I think
that
some of them will get you nowhere as, at the end of the day, you're
going to find yourself out of this apartment whether you like it or
not.
1/ Speak to your agent if you have one. Get them to help you find a
new
place free of charge. If they refuse, get the name of the GD, print it
here along with his/her name and email address.....and see how much
people power will help.
2/ If you haven't got an agent, don't try threatening with tax police
etc yourself. Just say that your lawyer or chief accountant from work
is
married to a tax inspector and suggests you give the
information.....but
that you don't want to do that because you're a friendly person and
you
don't like putting people in prison!! You're looking to get your
deposit
back and a "friendly" exit from the apartment.
Hope this helps and please let us know how you get on.
Regards,
Nick

Hi Shi,
I guess you do not have much to do in such a situation.
What you can tell the landlady that if she does not respect the
contract, you will report her into the local tax office. Just tell her
that you will send the office a copy of your rental contract (I hope
that you and she signed the one).
The tax people in Moscow do react to such reports, and usually call
landladies to urge them to submit tax declarations, or face a fine.
You will need to indicate her address - where she lives - and her home
phone number.
The list of inspections in each okrug is here:
http://www.r77.nalog.ru/str.php?topic=imns77
You may need to call one of them in the okrug where the landlady
lives, give them her street and they will tell you which office
handles the area.
However, the first point to contact is the agency which you used. I
hope this is not Inkom!
Cheers
Vladimir
