Q: Landlord turned gas off
I was subleasing but not on lease ex roommate decided to shut gas off on me and take my keys now I can't access basement to get my gas on and my kids are at risk of getting tooken because she called cps as a way to self evict what can I do about this
A: You are at risk for CPS action because you don't have stable housing (e.g. name on a lease). Does the landlord know you are subletting? If so, you should talk with them. If they don't know and had not approved, then your issue is with your ex roommate, but going after her will not help you with CPS at this point.
