Should I take my tenant to small claims?
At the move out inspection meth paraphernalia was found. The unit tested positive for meth and was condemned by the health department. $7600 later to have it decontaminated and replace everything permeable I am wiped out many years of cash flow. I am now in the negative owning this property for 3 years.
I have evidence of the positive test and photo evidence from the move out inspection of the parapheniala. However, I did not test this unit for meth when I bought it which is where I questions myself on winning in court.
Do you think I have a case?
