PM sueing a tenant for missed rent and court fees after eviction
I'm a landlord and property manager. Have pretty good luck with my tenants, but one property we manage have a tenant that let lease lapse, didn't communicate, so we had to evict. Got judgement last week for final eviction end of this month, but he didn't pay rent for 3 months.
Now trying to get small claims suit filed before he flees the premises. Can I represent the landlord in court as Property Manager, since she doesn't want to face the tenant herself. Should I get Lawyer for this, but hoping to file and go to court ourselves. This in in Connecticut by the way.
We have over $4k in rent/court/attorney fees from eviction, but tenant doesn't have a steady job as far and I know that would be able to garnish wages.. anyway, its the principle of it that we want to file claim against him.
