Judgement for tenant damages beyond security deposit in NC
How do you file a judgement against a tenant for damages beyond the security deposit? My contractor quoted me about $6000 in repairs. Security deposit is $1,200 so about $4,800 in damages. Thanks in advance!

Don't assume that because you win a judgement you will get money. I have won judgements in the past and not seen a nickel. Then there is the wasted emotional drain and related work.
Screening uncompromisingly and regular inspections can go a long way to mitigating potential risks. All the best!
