Thanks, I just don't understand. In my criminal statute book, the act of destroying another's property in the financial amount that they did constitutes Criminal Mischief, a class 4 felony. But the sheriff deputy told me that in the eyes of the law, once a tenant is legally living in a home as a renter, they can do what they please, because in essence, the home is "theirs" during that time. I'm like "What????". Where is the justice? We now cannot pay the mortgage on the house because the rent was paying for that. We may lose the house now. Also, the house was furnished, and they destroyed all of that, too.

I feel your pain. It just happened to me. The place is now unlivable. It was beautiful when they moved in. I am sick and broke. I will probably lose my place also. Not sure what to do.
