Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Lease/Forging Issue

I previously signed a lease in my

name to an apartment but my ex-

boyfriend lives in the apartment and

always has. He pays the rent and the

utilities. My only relation to the

apartment is that the lease is under

my name. The lease ends soon and I

already submitted the 60-day notice.

My ex doesn't want to move-out and

wants me to retract the 60-day

notice that I submitted. I will not do

such a thing because I want my

name off this lease. If he were to

forge my signature and submit a

letter to the leasing office requesting

a cancelation of the 60-day notice

and his (''my'') intention to stay at

the apartment month by month, will

I be able to do anything legally-

speaking? Thank you in advance for

your response.

Re: Lease/Forging Issue

Yes, just bring the evidence of your forged signature to the landlord's attention along with a

written reaffirmation of your intent not to renew this lease.
