Should I show up for the holdover court appearance?

[Jon Angle]

The condo association for my condo sent a notice for me to terminate my lease.  I obliged, but my tenant chose not to leave.  My property management company has handled everything for me so far.  They have lawyers going to the court appearance.  They said I am welcome if I want to go.  My question is, should I go?  What are possible pros or cons either way?

Thanks!

I would go, your named in the court filing, You are a responsible party, as the tenant was yours.

Pro's you won't be in default, you would learn a lot on what's going on and why your money is being spent on a lawyer, and property manager. 

Cons if you don't go you could be in default if no one else shows up.  

Judges respect the people that show up !
