I have just found the address of the tenant that I evicted last May owing approx $3,000 and did $$$$ damage on her way out. Malicious damage to windows and lights, and a cat who soiled everywhere, against lease. I did not serve her with a final bill as she just disappeared. How do I proceed? I am in Las Vegas, Nevada Do I send her an itemized bill now? Do I go straight to small claims court? Can I bill her for the cost of eviction, notice serving etc? I have since sold the house, but sold it as a fixer. What is my time line? Thanks

Thanks Shane Any tips for small claims court. It will be Henderson, and I read I am supposed to list assets that can be used by the court. Thanks

We had a similar problem. I took the tenant to small claims court and had a $4000.00 claim against her. The problem is enforcing the claim. Those kinds of people are slippery and do this type of activity on a regular basis. Go to small claims court because it takes time but not money on your part. Good luck.
