The claim(s) could be totally without merit, but you'll have to pay a few thousand $$$ in court to defend yourself and prove otherwise.  

A Quit Claim Deed from the Widow would give Anthony Vargas all of the widows interest in the property (if any) and provide him a title defendable against any future claims by her. 

I was not named in the lawsuit / final judgement as a defendant.

My question is, DO i need to have both tenants need to be named defendants on the eviction, or can only one?

But, some replies were being very condescending about his lack of empathy....yada, yada, yada...so, I defended the OP since I can relate with him and his perspective.Anyway, it was none of the stuff in the rules, and my reply had 8 votes before the the thread was removed, so, I wanted to go back an revisit my post to remind me of what exactly I had said, and see what else had been added to the thread, and then I got that boiler plate notice, that I took personally. 

I found a foreclosure listing that shows the attorney for the defendant.

To avoid getting sued, be sure you can demonstrate what (non-discriminatory thing) made one better than the other When you deny an applicant, document and store the reasoning to defend yourself later if you need to When an applicant is approved, verbally let them know and they are approved, you need to require a deposit within 24 hours of the tenant being accepted.

Houses are one of the biggest most personal items anyone owns, I would be certain what you plan to do there are no issues with it, and no matter what anyone here tells you, only an attorney (who would be there to defend you should the issue arise) will have any skin in the game giving you the truth.

You want to talk about sophistication on these forums, yet you are defending someone who is trying to go out of their way to piss someone off by using raw sewage. 

If you document properly with pictures and/or video, it should be clear to a casual observer whether the damage is caused by "ordinary wear-and-tear" or by abuse/neglect.In every case, I personally consider whether I'm able to defend my charges in court.
