Can I take a tenant to small claims to recover back rent?

The tenant has not paid rent for may or June. She wants her security deposit back. I had a back up in the basement that the plumbing company has not been able to repair it. I was willing to let her leave with no notice but she has not left. How can I get my money before she leaves if she does not give a forwarding address? Can I take her to small claims court rather than trying to evict her first. If she moves nad does not give a forwarding address I can not take her to court later.

For what she owes you.
U kon haar aan kleine eisen nemen maar u kunt omhoog beëindigen betalend meer dan het huurbedrag zodat kan het niet de moeite waard zijn. Het kan enkel gemakkelijker zijn haar vertellen om weg te gaan… geeft misschien haar 1 week… en bedreigt haar met hofactie als zij niet weggaat.
dann sieht es wie u-Notwendigkeit, sie vor Gericht zu bringen aus, bevor sie. .and ja im, das sicheres u sie der kleinen Ansprüche für Ihr Bargeld ive vor Gericht bringen kann gesehen verloren von jenen Fällen auf Richter Mathis, Judy verschiebt und People´s Gerichte so und meistens, wenn der Landlord Beweis hat, den der Pächter ihnen verdankt, normalerweise. .good Glück gewinnen
I don’t see why you couldn’t start the process now and get her papers for court served. But if you miss the chance you could always pull the whole I will need to inspect the house after you move out plan and give me a forwarding address so that I can mail you your deposit.
YES. I would take her to court. I really hate people like that. I would go down to the court house before she is out completely and file that claim. do it ASAP. That way you will get your money.
Not if the tenant has withheld the rent because the plumbing has caused her a hardship. However, it depends on the type of rental agreement you had…in writing?…if you released her from a lease and the deposit was for damages and she did not cause them, then she should get ti back(unless it was nonrefundable). Evicting a tenant can be a lengthy and expensive procedure. I would try and work it out with her. She can repair the problem herself and deduct that from what she owes you,but get a receipt for all the parts and labor. Sometimes it’s better to just return the dep. , but put everything you do in writing and have the keys in your hand when you give her the check!
