Defense Against False Criminal Charges and Success in Tenant Eviction
[Case Overview]
“The Tenant Who Framed the Landlord”Landlord “C” visited a tenant who had not paid rent for months to discuss a move-out date. In a calculated move, the tenant provoked an argument and then called the police, falsely claiming that the landlord had physically assaulted and threatened them. C was charged with a criminal offense, and the tenant used the ongoing criminal case as an excuse to stop the eviction process, staying in the property for free.
[Song Law Firm’s Professional Strategy]
Song Law Firm launched an integrated defense involving both our criminal and real estate teams. The criminal team identified inconsistencies in the tenant’s statements and secured neighbor testimonies that refuted the assault claims. We presented this evidence to the prosecutor, proving the tenant’s malicious intent. Simultaneously, the real estate team filed for an expedited eviction based on non-payment of rent, arguing that the criminal charge was a tactical delay.
[Result & Significance]
The court dismissed all criminal charges against C. Immediately following the dismissal, we won the eviction trial. C was able to legally evict the tenant with police assistance and regained full possession of their property. This case demonstrates our ability to resolve complex situations where criminal and civil laws overlap.
