Small Claims Experience?
Has anyone in the NWA area had the unfortunate experience of taking a tenant to small claims (Fayetteville specifically)? Unfortunately, we had tenants terminate their lease early and not pay the last months rent or any of the contractually agreed upon early termination fees. We tried to find a compromise with them multiple times, but they essentially moved out in 3 days and stopped responding to us.
I honestly don't expect to see any of the money. But I know this is likely going to happen to another unfortunate owner down the road unless those tenants have a mark on their credit for nonpayment of rent and seems like the only way to do so is via small claims court. Wondering if it's even worth the time and $65 filing fee

@Account Closed I have never gone through the process, but if I had the opportunity, I would think $65 is a cheap amount for the experience.
