Renters left without notice

[Kinju Dudhia]

I own a property and the renters left the property with a garage full of junk, and furniture in the apartment and turned off the heat. They are behind 2 months of their rent and we do not have a forwarding address. What are my options at this point to recover the loss of rent, damages to the property, and removal of the junk?

Thank you in advance for the answers,

Chances of recovery slim to none

How were they paying you? If you have bank account info you could sue get a judgment and try and garnish wages

If you cannot get anything from them their is one person who ALWAYS gets his take and that is Uncle Sam. So you could 1099 then for unpaid rent and then they would have to pay tax on it.

Of course you don’t get anything but they don’t walk away completely free
