OK OK SUE Land lord?

Question

the reason I asked is because the landlord signed my name on two doc to try to get more money from his insurance. So why can't I sue him I didnt sign my name he did!!!

Answer 1

This is an interesting question. When people make a claim with an insurance company its put into a database. The insurance companies share this.

Now lets say his fake claim is hurting you, or affecting your insurance for anything else. Hell yes you can sue him/her. Find out if this is affecting you. If it really hasnt affected you, then you can call the police. They will say did if affect you, if you say no. Wont be a top priority to them.

You have to prove you were hurt.

(not an attorney, but thats what I know)

Answer 2

lol, exactly the point you did not do anything nor where you affected by the allegations of the actions taken by the landlord, you jump into that malay and you might get your self involved in something that has no import to you.
Think about this too, what if all those allegations turn out to be untruths and are proven so in a court of law and there you are relying on these allegations and suing, hmmmmm sound like potentiality for a defamation suit. Go fishing instead it's more fun.

Answer 3

You can sue him, but you have little chance of winning something. To win a lawsuit, you have to prove the following things:

1) He did something that was illegal.
2) His actions damaged you.

The first part would be easy to prove. If he had forged your signature on some documents which allowed him to take money out of you account, say, then you are there. You might be able to make a very flimsy case if somehow his action is responsible for negative credit to get into your credit history, but even that would be a long shot.

The police would have good reason to arrest him on fraud, they and the FBI. The insurance company would have ample grounds to sue if they ended up giving money to the guy. But unless you had some form of financial, physical harm or some significant damage to your reputation you would "have no standing.:

And suing would be a waste of time and money.

Answer 4

What? Get more money for what? Damage to the property? Rat him out. Tell the insurance company it wasn't your signature that's it. Hell yeah that's fraud and you can file a report with the police. You gotta understand to sue somebody you gotta have some kind of damages. What damages did your landlord cause you by signing your name to these papers? At most you can get his a** in jail and the insurance company is going to be right there in court to make sure he goes to jail.

Answer 5

Ok Ok....you STILL have no basis to sue unless YOU were somehow harmed by the act of the landlord. You CAN report what he did to your state insurance commissioner for investigation of fraud on the landlord's part.

However, YOU have suffered ZERO damage and are in ZERO position to sue. Clear enough this time ?

Answer 6

Why would you sue? You didn't loose anything. And we wonder why our legal system is so back logged. Try to be part of the solution not the problem. Try a higher moral ground.

Answer 7

The landlord used your name, but did you incur a loss?? Were you damaged?? If not, you cannot sue.

Answer 8

It sounds illegal to me. To be sure, call your state attorney general's office or go on line to their website. They have complaint forms, and if they think its a viable complaint they will investigate it! Damages to you could have resulted from this, such as maybe having to pay a tax on extra money the landlord might have recieved.
