Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Indiana

Moving out on lease
I had just asked a question about the lease being taken over by a new landlord after our previous landlord sold the property. We did not want to stay at the property with the new landlord. We just moved out and the new landlord says he is not giving us our deposit back because we broke the lease. Is this correct? The new landlord didn't give us a new lease to sign and his name is nowhere on our lease. Should he have to give us our deposit back even though we moved?

Re: Moving out on lease

The landlord does not need to give you the deposit until 45 days after you moved out. Here is a link to blog post of mine that might help:
