by paying application fees,deposits for new utilities and new
apartment deposite and rental
you must have got a reciept for your money order ,that must be enough show them better than spending more money on sueing. good luck.
Call a lawyer you know and respect. You may have a case for unlawful eviction ... plus the rent money they took from you. But you better be able to prove all of this - with documentation, receipts, etc. - and your record as a tenant better be clean as a whistle. I wouldn't count on getting any monetary compensation for your new rental, deposits, and utilities, unfortunately.
Answer:
Sue for wrongful eviction. Keep very accurate records of all losses and expenses.
