The open house but do I have to agree to the viewing? What are my rights when it comes to the public viewing my personal things within the apartment

Depends on who made the criminal complaint, and whether it was false and done with malice. Any lawyer you consult will need far more facts that you have provided.

In lawsuit draft lawyer states dates that have nothing to do with our case, stated use of wheelchair when we stated use of walker! Politely asked false info be removed and then once again asked for 2nd date that does not exist which we refused to furnish!
Mistakes of facts in lawsuits may not matter at all and it may not be worth amending the complaint.

there are possible statute of limitations issues..........so don't sit on your rights...or you lose them.
The case was litigated for a year and the Plaintiff withdrew the case without prejudice. Now the plaintiff would like to reopen the case. Is that possible? I am not sure about the timeline for permanent closure or continued litigation in a case of this style.
Assuming that the pertinent statute of limitation period has expired, re-filing the case would be time-barred.
