Interesting court record of potential tenant

Michael Nahm

Hi all,

Would like to get your thoughts on the following, which I'm trying to decipher, unsuccessfully.

I'm in the process of screening a potential tenant, and a search on the state's court records

pulled up a Housing Court case.

Normally, I'd stop there, because usually it means there was an eviction (this case is from 2021,

so fairly recent). However, the Plaintiff is a Bail Bonds company.

The public records only gives the plaintiff and defendants' names, and no other details.

I can't think of a reason that a bail bonds company would sue someone in Housing Court, so it

doesn't look like an eviction.

Would appreciate your thoughts on whether I'm dodging a bullet here.
