You would most likely be suing this former landlord civilly on a theory
of malicious prosecution. However, merely because the case was dismissed would not be to be enough in and of itself to prove your claim(s), and, without knowing what your other alleged proof might be, it would therefore be difficult to judge your prospects for success in such a suit.
