She might be fronting for her drug addict/criminal friend, son etc.

Also, arson is criminal.

I have known of FSBO that were cased by professional criminals, and a few cases that have resulted in violence.

@Nathan Gesner, I'm guessing they filed this as a criminal charge because it was an illegal eviction coupled with the taking of their possessions.

Look for states that are Landlord-friendly (another way of saying they have fair laws and don't treat Landlords like criminals), growing population, attractive to businesses, good tax structure, and a strong education system that will keep tenants in place for many years.

I have referred this apparent criminal activity to the state's attorney general for possible criminal investigation - - talk about a massive apparent fraud - - and they have already written me back that they have opened a case.

It went from no criminal or eviction history to several records on the criminal report and 1 eviction record, and the credit score dropped. 

Potentially disallowing the use of credit scores and criminal record.

Frankly I am surprised that they haven't been going crazy enforcing the laws already.I know people will say that they don't enforce the criminal code in the greater LA area, but that costs money.Enforcing STR laws could be a pretty big revenue stream and I expect they will catch on pretty quick.
