insula capital not what they advertise

What to Expect at Eviction Hearing

The judge had doubts about the veracity of the website I was using to collect the rent (I gave him a print out of the payments and non-payments from the website) and thought we should have driven to unlock the door for the tenant when he locked himself out (3 hours) instead of telling him that was his issue and he should call a locksmith.In the end the judge asked him how much he thought he owed us and he did his calculations in the courtroom, not having this prepared.
