Can a landord be sued for the criminal activity of one of their tenants?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Sounds like a terrible situation to be in. Private individuals can't criminally sue people. Only the District Attorney, or their equivalent, can criminally charge a person. You should start by calling the police. If that doesn't work, the most practical solution would be to move. I realize that may be much easier said than done, but it's the answer.

Is it legal to search a vehicle due to prior drug conviction?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
No, unless there is reasonable suspicion to believe that there are drugs in the car (such as the odor of marijuana, the odor of dryer sheets which are used to mask drug odors, a hit on the car by a drug dog, etc.) You have standing to object if you were driving the car. If there were drugs found in the car, depending on where they were located (and whether they could be smelled, etc.), they may have a difficult time getting a conviction.

Can I contact the District of Attorney and plea this out or do I have to appear One- count of theft, one- count of forgery?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)

Every crime carries jail time potential. You can only "deal" with the charges in court, not directly with the DA?s office. Your first court appearance is an arraignment, where you will plead not guilty, and set a next appearance date for PreTrial Conference where plea bargaining can occur. When questioned, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? A little free advice: exercise the 5th Amendment right to shut up and do not talk to police or anyone about the case except with and through an attorney. Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential time and other penalties you face. While this isn't a 'capital case', you certainly face fines and potential jail, so handle it right. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help you in your legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
