So, long story short I missed a month of rent several months ago due to financial issues (typical I know). However, I spoke with the landlord as its the first time I've missed in 3 years and he said to just catch it up as I could. Last week he comes by and demands that I pay him all that I owe of that plus interest.
I told him that I couldn't come up with so much right now. He's furious. I wake up Friday to no water. I call the water company to see what's up and he has had the water shut off. They won't turn it back on because its in his name. Apparently this is some law here. The landlord refuses to speak to me about it and the water company will not do anything. I know this is illegal, but I don't know how to proceed. Any advice (aside from "pay your rent on time", thats obvious but things happen) would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I live in Indiana.
