Tenant didn't pay rent - evicted. Still owes money

Naji Ray
Posted

Hi all. I have a property that was on rent for over a year with the same tenant. The tenant was usually late in paying rent in the last few months but still used to make payment during first or second week of the month. Then one month the tenant didn't make any payment. I tried to contact them (tenant and cosigner) via emails, calls, and none of those were answered. After waiting for a month and a half of no rent, I started the eviction process and the tenant didn't show up at the court either so I got the decision of eviction by default and got my property back in posession. However almost two months rent was not paid, no notice was given, lease was terminated and tenant left the property with all the junk & some broken furniture. Can you suggest that what option do I have now to recover the unpaid rent or reporting it to their credit scores?
