After tenant eviction

Syed Firoz

Hello BP,

I just evicted a tenent who was subletting another family without my approval. After I found it out, I dropped a letter for breaching the contract and accepted and signed by tenent and gave 30 days to evict the property and mentioned he will lose security deposit which specifically mentioned in the lease about this. And they he did not pay rent for month of March. So I processed dispossory and got writ in 8th days since tenent did not response to the summon which sherif tacked and mailed.

Tenent was surprised to see he was evicted because he was at work. Sheriff went into the house with master key and he had my crews to remove the stuff and had them place on the drive way. After he came at the house during eviction process, he was providing his reasoning to Sheriff. And then he threat me to take the court for his procession which was removed infront of him and Sherrif without any damage. After 2 days of the eviction, he left cloths, foods, and other house holds stuff at the drive way.

he damaged the property and walls are nailed, taped, and other stains on the wall, carpet needs to replaced, and bad shape of landscaping. I would like to itemize charges and send him before 30 days.

My questions are :

what can I charge to tenent?

Is security deposit forfeited because of subletting which mentioned in the lease?

Do I take him to small court for remaining balance?

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you in advance for your suggestion.
