Interesting court record of potential tenant
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.
