Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Canada
Legal action for theft in my apartment.
Can i take legal action against my ex that stole things from our apartment after we broke up?
I asked her to leave about 4 months ago and she did. We lived together for 2 years. I had gone away for a week vacation and came back to an apartment missing alot of things (including: furniture, DVD player, DVDs, clothes, curtains, a table, and even my cleaning supplies). There was no forcible entry at all and she DID have a set of apartment keys that she hadnt returned yet. All in all, i figure its close to $1000 worth of objects stolen. What are my options? She has admitted being there while i was gone, without my permission, AND admits to taking SOME of the things stolen, but not all.
And I should also mention that some of the ''better'' things in the house were not stolen. As in my TV, my computer and printer, as well as other electronics, a giant tub of change (valued in the hundreds of dollars) and others. So I think that makes it VERY unlikely that an actual ''thief'' broke in after she was there. I want these things back, or at least be reimbursed for them. Any ideas about what should be my next step?

Your best option is to hang on the good stuff that wasn't stolen and move on.
