Suing Ex Tenant in Small Claims

[Pat Lione]

Hello all.

I am looking for help on how to word "reason for suing" on my small claims writ.

Last time I wrote unpaid rent, damages, late fees. When I asked magistrate for interest on the $35 a week that I will probably never see. She claimed that I needed to write it in the writ. I don't think this is true but my properties are in CT a very pro tenant state. I would like help with a very detailed reason for suing. Thank You.
