Hi
I am a non-resident alien that moved to the US in September last year. I am completing my taxes and have a question about my first apartment deposit. We moved into the apartment under false pretenses and had to sue the landlords to get out of our lease. We were suing mainly for the homophobic abuse we were receiving even though they assured us that it would not happen. The case was settled before court but they kept our deposit. Someone has said that it might be deductible but I am unsure. Any advise would be great.
Thanks
Chris
