Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Indiana

I live in the state of Indiana and I have to take my old landlord to court for failing to provide me with an itemized statement of damages within the 45 day rule after leaving the home. On my lease there is the signature of the owner and her guardian. All correspondence regarding the maintenance and moving were conducted between myself and the owners son whom is the property manager. All the emails and text messages that I have for evidence for the court is between myself and the owners son (property manager). I know I have to file suite against the owner and the guardian because these are the names that are signed on the rental lease, but do I also file suite against the owners son (property manager) since he is the one I dealt with the entire time I lived at the home and he is the one whom all correspondence was conducted with?

You do not have grounds to sue the owners son. However, you may have a problem with your case in that you were not communicating with the proper legal party on these issues. Your lease should have contained the information as to how, where, and to whom all communication was to be directed.
