Question

A tenant put ad on Craig's list as a property owner. I signed a lease and paid him first and last. Found out he wasn't the owner and now I'm being evicted. Can I file criminal charges for fraud against this person?



Answer

Yes.



Answer

Mr. Tashjian is wrong. You cannot file criminal charges because you are not a district attorney. You can complain to the police, and you can file a civil lawsuit, but you cannot file criminal charges.
