They kept $2,000 deposit charged for repairs for everything under $100 so nothing was over $100 that way tenant pays for evertything under $100 Then gets a 5 days to move taken to court and the lanlord refused to take her rent and said she didn't want to pay rent so she put the rent in escrow so to show she had rent, the list goes on and on and then she talked to the handy man about the toilets, land lady said what was that about said toilets , next day fired. said he was afrai to go to court with her because she knows bikers.

I'm not sure of the exact penalty but I know they will sue you and take you to court if you don't pay the fine.

I’ve heard of this weird “check made To the buyer” as a deposit, I’m more familiar with the “cashiers check made out to the clerk of court/sheriff’s office”, so I obviously don’t know your rules.  

It really appears that this was not properly explained when you spoke with us, so we completely understand why this would raise "red flags" for you.

I've been looking in that area, but it appears that it might be on the edge of some crime-filled areas, similar to what has been stated about Cherokee above. 

I'm not at all familiar with the Las Vegas market, but I'm just trying to get a grasp of where your income/expenses are coming from.I get that at least according to your numbers, it appears you will be making a killing in COC return.

After the 7 days we sent Complaint/Statement of Claim to the court.

I do hear however that listSource is a good source and some Real estate courses have pre-negotiated discounts with list source so it appears rates may be negotiable to a degree.

The biggest problem is that since the tenant was rather young, all the previous addresses for herself were apartments so I have no permanent address to trace back to her.After reading advice on this forum, I've realized that going through small claims court for the money is not worth the trouble and money.
