I live in an apartment complex and was told no convicted child molesters live here by the landlord… Only to find out 6 months later that there is one living here. Now they are kicking him out but trying to keep it a secret from the other tenants… Is there a law for me to get my rent back that I paid while he was living here ??? Please help me out. Thank you. Also if you find a site where it says one way or the other, please post the link. Thank you !!

If there was a clause written into your lease or agreement that the landlord would not knowingly allow convicted child molesters (ccm) to live in that building and the landlord knowingly allowed a ccm to move in then you can sue in small claims court for breach of written agreement.
More than likely the landlord did not know the person was a ccm. Just because they’re trying to move him out quietly doesn’t mean they knew what kind of person he was. They probably just want him out so that no one tries to sue them over a misconception.
If your agreement was merely verbal then it becoems he said-she said and you probably won’t win your rent back.
