What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Someone was house sitting my home with the agreement from his parents and him he was responsible for all damages while living there. He intentionally trashed the house; removed carpeting, shot pellet holes in walls and the list goes on to about 57 items, almost $10,000 in damages. They refuse to pay. The Sheriff told me it isn't criminal damage to property because I had an agreement he could stay here. The statute doesn't state that. Can I file a criminal complaint for criminal damage to property?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
