A: Assuming you are talking about residential landlord-tenant (not storage bin lock cut, etc.), then you likely DO have claims against the landlord. First, do not take your legal advice from cops. Second, cops only deal with criminal matters - and the cop here most likely is correct, there likely is no criminal violation. What you likely have is a civil law violation. Regardless, the only way for you to really know what you have (or may not have) is for you to simply review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. Good luck.
