Answer

If someone owes you money, you can sue them. The landlord will be expecting you to pay rent.

Answer

Scott is correct

You may be able to sue for fraud and theft of services and get punitive damages

Answer

P.S.:

Did you pay landlord for rent - bad third party check no excuse. Landlord can evict you for nonpayment!!

Good luck.
