Tenant used fradulent information

[Sami Davis]

Tenant used a fake driver's license and social security for lease. Has not paid rent during the covid epidemic. Not sure what can be done. Located in Chicago, IL.  At this point want the tenant out.  Offer cash for keys.  Was unsuccessful.  Can I pursue criminal charges for fraudulent identification?

If the police are unwilling to do anything they'd probably change their tune if the real identity owner reported it to the police: https://www.bellinghamherald.c...

So perhaps seek out the real person (I'm assuming you have the real person's social security number, birthdate and real name so there's a chance you can locate them - and tell them someone rented an apartment using their name, birthdate, and social security number and urge them to contact your local police).
