What can you do if your landlord refuses to give you back your security deposit because you lost your receipt?
If your landlord accepted the security deposit from you he must return to you unless he have legal grounds to keep all or part of the security deposit. I don't think that the loss of your receipt for the security deposit is enough to allow your landlord to keep it. Thus you can sue him.

What if the landlord wants me as the new renter to give the security deposit money to the last tenant and they left the place in a mess?
Giving the security deposit to the old tenant is a bad idea under any circumstance. Keep it simple - give it to the landlord. If the place is a mess, tell him (in writing) that you're not paying him the deposit until he cleans the place up. But, pay him the first month's rent, so you have a consummated contract.
