An Indiana landlord won $6,200 from a former tenant after claiming extensive apartment damage; on October 29, an appeals court cut the award to $2,400 because the owner never sent a required damage list

• Indiana law requires landlords to send tenants an itemised damage list within 45 days of moving out.
• According to the judgment, the landlord had not sent the tenant a written list explaining the damage and the money being claimed for repairs.
