Tenants doesn't give 30 day notice and dissappears

[Matt Liu]

If a tenant does not give 30 days notice and leaves at the end of this month (never paid for this month), can I keep file any kind of judgement in addition to keeping her security deposit?

I think you are very lucky that they just left instead of you having an eviction. If it were me, I'd hold onto the security deposit and forget the judgement. Move on and get a better tenant in there. If they come back looking for their security deposit, you can have a chat at that time. Been down this road and back too many times to count - they will never, ever return.
