Can i sue if the apartment complex if they lost my money orders for my rent?

I went to the apartment complex to renew my lease. I paid 691.00. My new lease turned out to be 755.00. They told me to pay the rest before the 5th of the month. A day later a note is at my front door saying that i have to pay the 65.00. I headed to the rental office and payed the 65 dollars. The manager said that she stapled the two money orders for 691.00 to the paper. I was furious. Anybody could have tooken them! I told them that was careless. They are still saying that I have to pay the 691.00. I have documents showing that i already have paid. I want to sue.

You have no grounds to sue yet. A money order is just like a personal check. You need to go to the bank where you got the money orders, show them the receipts, and ask if the money orders have cleared. If they have cleared, you need copies of the fronts and backs of the money orders, and you will have your proof of payment. If they have not cleared, then you need to stop payment, have them re-issued, and bring the new money orders to the office and demand a receipt. You also should look into getting a checking account, which would have greatly simplified getting proof of payment or re-issuing the checks.

Then sue. Take your paperwork to the nearest Small claims Landlord Tenant section. Inform them that you have proof that you paid rental charges and that they were not properly credited.
They have forms you can use. Most only charge a few dollars for them.
Then ask for motion papers and do a motion to pay your next months rent to
the Court, for them to hold in escrow until this matter is settled.
(And pay it to the Court BEFORE it is due to the landlord)

So was the money order stolen, or not?

If not, then no harm, no foul.
If so, then if you have a receipt, then you are in the clear. Just pay the $65. If you have your M.O. reciept too, you may want to call the company who issued it and see if there is a way to stop payment.

yes sue

SUE!!! watch ONE court show and you'll see that you're obivously not at fault. You have documentation. And write a play-by-play of what happened with appx. dates so you can be clear in court.

If you kept the money order receipt then that's all you need.
I don't understand the part about the Manager saying she stapled the two money orders for the 691? What does that mean?

If you have shown them the documents, and they will not honor that, and the bank has cashed it, then you are in the clear. If not, yes take them to small claims court. The filing fee is only $35. Who knows, if they see that they are being sued, the landlords just might drop the whole thing.

claim the money from the place where you got the money order.........they say they didn't get it.........get them in trouble ........

Hey, the money order receipts, properly filled out, are all you need. If they are careless with with their finances, that is their fault, and does not affect you. There is no way they can prevail in a court of law..
