Minnesota
I have a lease for a home that now has a sewage leak. The landlord told me that I cannot come back to the home (I have been in a hotel). The landlord is keeping my deposit to cover the rent for March. We were in the house for 5 days in March and have been in a hotel since. Can the landlord legally keep my deposit even though we are not able to stay in the house. Also, I am now homeless because of this issue. The landlord stated that she could not afford to keep putting me up in a hotel (and the insurance will not pay for it) Any help is appreciated.
