Small Claims Court: Here I Come
After finding my old tenants, I filed a small claims suit against them. The court date is set to February 20th, although the tenants haven’t been served yet. I spoke with the constable today and he seems to take pride in his ability to serve. He assured me that he has several tricks up his sleeve which he will use if necessary.
At this point, if I do not hear anything from the court then it means that they were served and the court date is on. If not, I’ll hear something within two weeks.
My fingers are crossed!

Good luck! This is the fun part about being a landlord - the court appearances!!
I can remember being in court with a hostile tenant for an eviction case.. Yikes, talk about death stares… Fortunately I won the case, and gave them the boot.. Only cost me about $4000 and took 6 months - gotta love the NJ laws!
