My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Indiana I made an agreement with a new landlord with a prorated amount because it was the middle of the month. Our agreement was that we would pay 2 payments towards a security deposit and pay rent on the first of the month and move in immediatly. She took the check and gave me the keys. Two hours later she called me and asked about my last name if it was polish i told her no that it was croation. Then about 15 minutes later she called back again and said that her mother was sick and could no longer rent because her mother was taking the apartment. She wanted the keys back and return the check. I refused then she said she already ripped the check which i have on my voice mail for proof. I am new at posting if you can answer or have any other questions please help i am staying in a hotel and canceled my stay here so my rate doubled!! I want to sue for the extra expenses I will incur and want to know if she can do this??
