What is the name of your state? OH
I own an apartment building, and a few weeks ago a tenant of mine had her apartment building broken into and her TV stolen. She Left her window open, during the recent nice weather. Her son suspected his cousin, and through a friend learned that this cousin tried to sell this TV to him. So my tenant got her TV, back but doesn't want to press charges on her family. My problem is I now have a broken screen that I don't want to pay for. Can I press any charges on this individual. (trespassing, destructionof private property, etc.) This is a eight unit building. I am tired of things like this happening and would like to send a messege. Also if I catch someone in a tenant only area of the building (ie. Storage Room) can they be charged with trespasing. I live in the building and have seen "guests of a tenant" down there, and things have come up broken into.
