forward motion
Our former tenant backed out on his verbal agreement to pay the repair bill.
I had revised a contract agreement for him to sign, but he decided we should speak to our attorney.
We have paid the retainer and our attorney will schedule the court date in JP court.
JP court is for damages less than $10,000.00.
It is also the quick down and dirty court. 15 minutes max in and out.
So instead of paying us 3,000.00 a month ago with us eating some of the expense, he'll be paying close to 3,600.00 plus court costs, plus attorney's fees plus additional damages. 3,000 becomes more like 7,000.00 to 8,000.00.
The judge will make that decision.
We just want to get it back into rentable condition.
And in the end we will have still lost 4,000 dollars.
bed time!
