How to Track Deadbeat Tenant?

[Cynthia Brooks]

Hello all, Looking for a little advice. Recently had tenant move out during eviction process. Of course, the y didn't leave forwarding address and have an outstanding balance. The balance consist of small amount of rent, additional rent (late fees), extra extermination service expense and lawyer and filing fees, totaling almost $2500. More than likely, I'm going to have to take her to small claims court. The Cityfeps programs she was with says they will not over it. Also, I never received call from new landlord for reference so don't know where they moved. So my question is how do you track down deadbeat tenant so I can serve them with papers? Thank you for any help you can provide.

If they have a employer you follow them from work, if you have a phone number you run a scam. 

Have some one call pretending she won a $100 gift certificate from a major store in a contest where another customer submitted her name in a "friend" draw.  All the caller needs is to confirm her address to send the certificate to.

(if the tenant asks who submitted her name the caller simply state that do not have that info on their call sheet)
