In judicial foreclosure states, like FL, the proceedings must be conducted through the courts with a judge making a final ruling.

It doesn’t even say whether the Notice needs to be in writing: https://codes.findlaw.com/ga/title-44-property/ga-code-sect-44-7-50/However, I do not know whether the local judges may have their own “local rules” (legally or figuratively speaking.)

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

This is the first time USA is acting like Africa fourth-world country that they blocked presidential candidate by using a "judge".Also take a look at how Elon Musk is treated when they're not voicing the same song as the elites.Something really broken in America.And, in this digital age, with TX now the 8th largest economy in the world among nations, does TX really "need" the Federal Union any longer?

@Mac Boeve Michigan statute requires you to provide a MoveIn Checklist to every tenant, which they have 2 weeks to complete and return.If you fail to provide one to tenant, it may exempt them from MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to provide you a completed MoveIn Checklist, they assume all MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to give you forwarding address within 4 days of MoveOut, you technically don't have to give them an Itimized List of Damages - meaning you can theoretically charge them for anything, any price.You should know, a judge may disagree with you if tenant takes you to Small Claims Court to challenge your SD deducations. 

The owner has to appeal that assessment in the courts and the judge will apply the CLR of 54.5% in 2024.

I've seen the hardest judges act favorably to landlords who have their stuff together in eviction court in non-landlord friendly states and just the opposite in landlord friendly states. 

We used to do a video of the MoveIn Checklist a tenant filled out - with them in the video pointing out all the issues.We did this to have "irrefutable" evidence of any tenant-caused damages, to charge them.It usually worked, but we did have a judge or two disagree with us or not allow us to play our video in court:(Point is, if you have great documentation you can charge the tenant for damages they cause.
