This is a first for me so I'm a little concerned and was hoping I could get a little imput for anyone in my area ( Cook County IL ).

Back in October 2012 I started the eviction process on a tenant that stop paying rent. To make a long and boring story short I filed the papers went to court and the judge gave her xx amount of days to turn over possession, which she did not!!! I then filed and payed for the cook count sherifs to get her out, which they did and I put all her stuff on the front lawn.

They immediately got a Uhaul and loaded up most of their possessions and left a few thing.

Now two years later she is suing me for an Illegal eviction, loss or damage to her property and pain and suffering in  the amount of 10k !!!!!  

Anyone have a  clue on what i should expect? I have all the paperwork from 2012 and took plenty of photos.

Sounds like a nuisance suit. Hoping to irritate you enough that you will settle out of court for a few thousand dollars to make her go away. She's thinking that its cheaper for you to do that the fight it all the way through. 

This kinda stuff makes me cRRRAAAAzy. Good luck!
