Q: My landlord came into my apartment and took my 5 month old kitten while I was away for a little over 24hrs what can I do
She had a full bowl of food and a full bowl of water I believe my kitty is inside his house and have been told so by one of his workers what can I do and how should I go about getting my cat back I've been waiting 5 months for hot water and heat also
A:
You can sue your landlord in civil court to get your kitten back.
You will also need to notify your landlord in writing that you do not have heat or water and give him/her 30 days to rectify the situation. If he/she does not, you can put your rent in escrow until the problem is fixed.
