If your landlord won't give you your deposit or last month's rent back you need to take him to small claims court. The judge will then decide who gets what. Your landlord has the right to keep your deposit if you violate the terms of your lease, including, but not limiting to terminating it early without good cause. He doesn't have the right, however, to keep your last month's rent as a security deposit.

Can you break a lease in Indiana if victim of a crime at that location?
This depends: if you can demonstrate that there is a history of criminal activities, and one of which you are a victim of that type of criminal activity, then you might be able to break the lease. Keep in mind that any time you break a lease your landlord could keep the deposit. But if you break the lease for constructive reasons, such as the fact that your landlord is not doing enough to keep the property secure, safe, and decent, then you can sue the landlord for your deposit back and probably win. However, if you want to break a lease simply because you are victim of a crime that occurred on the property, that reason alone will probably not be a legal excuse.

What if you are student from Japan age 19 with poor English skills not understanding you've signed a legal document and you leave your apartment to return home and break the lease 3 months early?
Whenever you sign a contract of any kind, be it a lease, etc., it is UP TO YOU to understand the terms and condition of such contract. If there are any parts that you don't understand, DON'T SIGN IT until you ask the questions you need to ask about it. That being said, the terms of the lease are legal and binding. Any violations of it can result in its corresponding consequences. So if you do break your lease by leaving three months early you are not only going to forfeit your deposit, you may also be responsible for the remaining months under which the apartment remains vacant.

Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?
Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.

Me and my boyfriend rented a room now my boyfriend move out but he is the one on the lease now the landlord wants me to pay500 and take me to court can she do that?
Although the Lease was on your boyfriends name,and you were both living together at the time the lease was prepared,you do not have any legal rights to remain in the room..perhaps the reason why your landlord 's demanding the 500,is to re-write a new lease on your name.Also,was a deposit paid by your boyfriend to the landlord? If the deposit was paid,what happened to it? My advise to you is to speak to a local lawyer in your area immediately.
