Victor, I agree.

Congrats on your victory.

As of now the unit is vacant and she even left the place cleaned, I'll take it as a victory and deal with any future issues if they do arise. 

Since the tenant is on the Section 8 program, I can almost guarantee there is no discretionary income to garnish.Small claims court may be a pyrrhic victory for Mike -- money out of pocket for filing fees, process fees and court costs but no chance of ever collecting on the judgment if he wins.Mike,In one state where I have Section 8 tenants, any tenant damage should be reported to the Section 8 program office immediately.

If the Owner wants to pursue an eviction case against a tenant for non-payment of water and sewer bills The Holton-Wise Property Group will have to refuse all future rental payments from the tenant and that Holton-Wise DOES NOT guarantee victory in any court case.

In your worst defeats you will likely find the seeds of victory to be sown elsewhere.

When children make mistakes, our job should not be to spin those losses into decorated victories.

That was a small victory today.Our big victory was the 14 houses on the same street.  

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt (From speech titled: The Man in the Arena: Citizenship in a Republic)

The victories of feminism are undeniable and well-established, so I hope and doubt many women are offended by opening of a door and if they are, I simply will not open it for them next time.I agree that times have changed but I think making the assumption that women want to be treated in a less chivalrous way to avoid being portrayed as weak is a poor one.
