I'm not social justice warrior-ing here at all, just curious because I did the same thing.

Jeff my wife and I were talking about this on our drive out to sandy to take a lock box of one of her listings that just sold.she thinks its going to be a problemshe thinks those are just the people who will sue.. or file complaints against landlordsI said well its going to clog up the court system then or how ever or whoever looks into complaints and who has aurthority to administer justice ???

Circuit Court of Appeals in S.F. banned the Justice Department from prosecuting MMJ cases if no state laws were broken.

However in a Texas landlord -tenant dispute involving less than $10000 in damages it makes no sense to pursue with any other avenue than through the Justice of the Peace(Small Claims) Court for the following reasons :-Costs- No lawyers allowed and the cost including the Abstract in less than $200.  

@Mindy Jensen Cash for keys makes me feel like a loser and that there is no justice, but it isn't to make me feel better, its to save money!

And even more eventually, the bully hopefully slips up and faces justice themselves.

Mortgage pay downA $150,000 SFR rental at year seven with a comfortable mortgage pay down and increased rents is hard to give up but if the current FMV is $200,000 the benefits are based on $150,000.This owner could sell and 1031 Exchange into a $250,000 - $300,000 rental and after 5 - 10 years repeat the process.The Rich have know and used this 1031 Exchange strategy for decades.As Justice Learned Hand so aptly said:"In America there are two tax systems, one for the informed and one for the uninformed.

To be honest, it would make me feel a sense of justice to go after her, considering her conduct from the start. 

Most of any application I get will have bad credit and/or some association with the criminal justice system.

In my experience in Eviction Hearings In Austin Texas, the Justice of the Peace (Judge) will NOT allow you to collect Late Fees as part of any Judgement Claim.
