A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Forging a lease is a serious matter, and you have the right to take action.
First, you should contact your local police department to report the forgery. Provide them with any evidence you have, such as the forged lease and any communications related to it. This will help them investigate the crime and potentially press charges against the person responsible.
Additionally, consider reaching out to a legal professional who can guide you through the process of suing for any damages you may have suffered. It might also be helpful to inform your current landlord or property manager about the issue to prevent any further complications. Taking these steps can help protect your rights and address the wrongful actions taken against you.
