Tenants destroyed my place. I kept deposit but what else can I do

Justin Wood
Posted

I have a couple tenants that have destroyed my units. Obviously, I need to vet them better but as of now what are my options? I have photos showing ton of trash left behind, appliances ruined totaling about $10,000 in damage each. 

Is there an attorney known for dealing with landlords and tenant disputes? I know getting money from them will be a far cry, but I would like to tie them up in some legal dispute to some degree. 

I talked to local Justice of the Peace. I can only file a civil lawsuit if I have their current address which I do not. There must be some option. Please help.
