So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

The search function is awesome for specific questions you may have. 

Court date was in early August and the house was returned to us mid August. 

@Steven Macdonald There are plenty of free platforms that offer all the functionality you'd find in something like RentRedi.

Go to the courts and obtain eviction records (Tired landlord) list.$10,000  - $20,000?

And given our volume of bizzness we had the title companies provide date downs for free for us and keep a really cool spread sheet for us that was updated weekly.. this had the property tax's HoA's IRS and first second positions etc.. so we did not have to do all that work.. my competition spent hours at the court house looking at micro fish files.

Once you get the goods on him and the eviction process starts, make sure part of the court order includes him not being able to set foot on the property again otherwise you will want the actual tenant also evicted. 

Thank you for the instruction on the mention function, @Raymond B..

It's larger, still has functional garage, and I really was getting a large number of calls and showings on the other house - I ended up turning down three deposits.Other Updates:Had three move-ins for May 1st on new leases

But the tenant may have a valid reason to contest or at least delay court proceedings based on your mistakes.
