A case with over $$75,000$ in controversy and the parties must be citizens of different states.

Oh yeah. I remember that! Okay, well I have both in this case. The landlord is from Virginia and my client is from Indiana. And there is DEFINITELY more than $$75,000$ at issue!

So would the same laws apply if we took this case to a federal court?

Yes, because while the case will take place in federal court, the federal court will still have to apply state law because contract disputes are typically matters of state law.

No$,$ because if it is in federal court, then only federal law will apply.
