Suing bad tenants and their hangers-on in Illinois
I went through most of an eviction with a lousy tenant and they have vacated the premises. I plan on getting the judgement in court for the eviction and I plan on suing them in small claims court for back rent, cleaning costs and some damages. I realize these losers are probably not going to pay me, or it will be down the road. That's fine, it's the principal of the thing. Here's the question:
They had turned my house into some sort of loser inn and I was told by someone that they had up to 8 people living in this three bedroom house (originally just two people living there). I have been able to piece together who was living there by some clues around the house. Can I name these people in the suit as well, or just the renters?

@Jim Bryant sorry to hear about your bad experience. This question is really something that only an attorney could answer. As a side note, I would personally just move on and start making money again with the place. It can be frustrating to see how tenant friendly laws can be, but at the same time you will become wealthy if you keep your eye on the goal instead of focusing on some small losses when you have the occasional eviction.
