The super of the building we are trying to rent is trying to scam us out of money. He wont let us meet or talk to the landlord, because he is trying to pocket money and make us pay twice for the same month. Is there a way that I can find out who the landlord of the building is with just the address?

For most areas, landlord and tenant laws are guided by the municipal ordinances of your city/village/town. For example, in Chicago we have the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance which states that a tenant must always have the contact info and address of a landlord. Do you have a local or county law library? They are usually located in either the public library or a county courthouse. My guess is that the librarians there will be able to show you a copy of your local municipal ordinances, which should have a section for landlord tenant law.
When all else fails, find a copy of your state compiled laws, find the index, and look up Landlord/Tenant.
