Yes, you can take the tenant to court for the rent and the damages. The argument is that you were informing him that you had is LMR on hand, but it was a mistake (yes, mistake is a legal defense) and nowhere in the notification did you state that the LMR was waived or otherwise not due, just that you (mistakenly) believed you had LMR funds in hand. Tenant will not be allowed to be unjustly enriched (month of occupancy without paying rent) by your mistake.

Thanks for your reply. Glad to know I am not crazy to think that no rent in life is free- if it was it wouldn't be called rent, right?
