FRAUDULENT [RENTAL] [LEASE] OF RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY. FELONY. GENERA CRIMINAL VOLUME
The defendant has been charged with the fraudulent [renting] [leasing]
of residential real property. 1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [rented] [leased] residential real property to
another person. (Describe property) is residential real property.
And Second, that the defendant did so knowing that the [renter] [lessor]
had no lawful [ownership] [leasehold interest] in the property.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [rented] [leased] (describe residential
real property) to another person, and the defendant did so knowing that the
[renter] [lessor] had no lawful [ownership] [leasehold interest] in the
property, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so
find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be
your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
