Tenant Split
Need some advice. I just rented a unit in April with a year lease. I just received a letter from the tenant in lieu of July rent with the key enclosed announcing they are departing - included in the explanation was also permission to use their deposit for July rent. My question is, do I go after this tenant ? (the lease officially expires in April of 07)??? If so, what are my chances of recouping any funds for lost revenue and how do I go about doing that? I am mainly interested in real world practice/experience. The property is in North Carolina. Looking for some direction - Thanks in advance.
I kind of figured that - I guess whats troubling about that is that a tenant can break the lease and suffer no consequences.
Can you file in small claims court against an ex-tenant if you live in a State different from where the property is located? Can this be done over the web or phone?
Thanks,

If their credit score is below 600 forget it an move on because a judgement is only a drop in the bucket. If their score is good I agree with Wiz.
Filing in small claims remotely is dependant on the city/state. California is very high tech and provides all the forms online. NY -- forget it. You have to go to the courthouse, pick up the forms and return them. And, then you have to show up for the trial.$$$$$
Lavonc,

Thanks,
