Any tips for suing tenants in small claims in Colorado?

[Jane S.]

At first I wanted to be moving on from the nightmare of horrendous tenants' damage. But it's almost a year since I got them out and I sold the property for a nice profit. I know that I have a few years before I file suit but I want to work on it now that the weather and COVID fear are keeping me indoors. 

Would appreciate any tips, especially some clever way to find out their current address. I have the woman's original birth certificate which she left in a pile of trash which should help in locating their current hovel. 

TIA! I am in awe of how much this platform helps me.

What are you suing for?

I've been down this road before - you can sue, they don't have money or don't pay and it goes to collections and drags out until you start questioning if it's worth it

What kind of damage are we talking? How much?
