Q: We have an apartment that is forging my husbands signature on legal documents. What should i do?
We have been living in these apartments for almost 2 years. And they are trying to charge us $250 for not having our animals on a leash. In our lease it states that we would be charged IF they picked up our unleashed animals and kept them fines would be a possibility. We have been waiting for prof that one of us signed something about the charge. It took them 2 weeks to get back to me and it happen to not be my husbands signature. We also have prof that he was at work from 6:30 am to 8:30 pm. And his work truck has a GPS that can also prof where he was. I was the only one home and i never got the piece of paper either.
A: Get a copy of the documents. Go down to the District Attorney's office in your county. See if that office will accept charges. Forgery is a crime. But, you will need the documents to prove the forgery because the crime being proved requires the actual forged document. You might give your apartment manager a heads up before you go. The manager may want to resolve the matter short of you actually filing charges. Good luck.
