    Default How to Get Copies of Documents and Evidence From Your Landlord for a Lawsuit

    If you file a small claims court action against your landlord for the improper retention of your security deposit, is there a way to get documents and evidence from the landlord to use in court, in Indiana? How can you get the documents before the small claims hearing date?

    Default Re: How to Get Copies of Documents and Evidence From Your Landlord for a Lawsuit

    Indiana allows for discovery in small claims cases:
    Quote Quoting Indiana Rules of Small Claims Court. Rule 6. Discovery
    Discovery may be had in a manner generally pursuant to the rules governing any other civil action, but only upon the approval of the court and under such limitations as may be specified. The court should grant discovery only upon notice and good cause shown and should limit such action to the necessities of the case.
    Ask the court clerk how to bring a motion before the court for discovery, and make sure you're prepared to explain how the materials you are requesting are likely to be relevant to your case.
