Would you like to explore connecting with a local lawyer who can provide specific legal advice and guidance?
Eventually they were released and told the was no evidence to substantiate these claims of any crime being committed and the adjoining unit owner confirmed no damage.These false assertions and subsequent actions have caused me significant emotional distress, reputational harm, and interference with my rights as a tenant. I maintain that Public Storage’s employee reported these allegations recklessly and without sufficient investigation, resulting in wrongful detention and harassment, false imprisonment
