Re: Bad landlord

You need to find some solutions with the landowner or sue his brother for fraud. Does he have assets to collect a judgment on? Perhaps you may allege that the brothers were in complicity or sue the landowner for negligence as the land owning brother was on notice of an apparent agency problem as this has happened in the past.
