How do you find tenants that moved to take them to court?
I had a family in a beautifully furnished home (it had been a vaation rental). In 16 months, they trashed it. Althought he is on disability, she has a super job as a nursung supervisor. They bought a house I believe within 40 miles, as she is at the same job. But I dont really know where it is or where she works exactly.
>>>>> I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY MOVED and they of course won't tell me. I tried sending a "return letter requested" but nothing. Without an address, I cannot have court documents sent to them... <<<<
I have their cellphone numbers, but that wont exactly be in the phone books.
He wouldnt let me in to show the place a week before they moves "there are moving boxes everywhere!" When I got in I was mortified. Beds stolen, all drawers gone from antique set, my personal stuff taken out of a basement ( he requested access to laundry room). Upholstery and carpeting stained and slashed by their (illegal) cats. Most walls were damaged, Etc. Etc.
It will take 2 months to get access to contractors to repair and replace everything (hard to get contractors these days). I am likely out some $30,000. Insurance company seriously lowballing me. Nothing for cleaning, "adjusted" rates. "How do we know it was THEM who stole XYZ" "Do you have a list of what was taken? DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IN YOUR BASEMENT AFTER 20 YEARS??? Carpets and furniture were USED. Yea, but old house, I had to get furniture through the WINDOWS on 2nd and 3rd floor (stairways very narrow).
