With this one I would give them the W-9 so I could get my check then send a demand letter for what they really owe you and threaten to take them to small claims court.  

Trying to create an "owner" mentality in a tenant sounds good until you look at how your courts treat lease agreements with options.  

He has a pile of court papers but doesn't know what they are or what they mean. 

Tell yourself and your Tennant this is only "business" and that by law you will need to go through the steps outlined in the contract and file with the courts.  

In the suburbs it all depends on the local courts.

Chief among the resources is cash.

Now, if they got a court judgment I assume it would attach, but that would be state specific.

When you start grouping business with personal or business with other business, my understanding is that a case can be made that you yourself don't even treat the business like a business, you treat everything together - so why shouldn't the court and the public?

A Statement of Claim outlines why the bank is asking the Court’s permission to foreclose on the property.  

To add, in any case, I want to go to small cause court for this - not for the money but by principal.
