He’s being evicted and he said he’s going to the police to tell them that we’re felons and recovering drug addicts to get us kicked out because he’s being evicted. Is that possible?
answered on Aug 18, 2023

It's possible that you have a suit against her for contribution, but just because you can sue someone doesn't mean that you are going to get anything from her. See a local lawyer for advice. This is not a criminal matter.
