If it was a USPS money order then you will need to fill Form 6401 at a Post office and pay a fee of $5.40. After the USPS completes a payment inquiry on the status of the money order, a replacement can be issued. Depending on your circumstances you might also want to file a police report. If the money order is from a private issuer or another government then you will need to contact them to find out their procedure.

How could you track of money orders cashed by landlord?

You can do that if you issued the money order in favor of your landlord. In that case, there would be a reference number for the money order, take that to the bank that issued it and they would be able to provide the details.

What happens the person when your money order was stolen?

A money order comes with 2 parts. The top part you send to the company/person that you are sending the money. The second part is your receipt and you should be able to take that to the place where you bought the money order and get a new one. Look at the fine print on your receipt to see what the process is for a lost/stolen money order.
