Looking for an Attorney to Sue Tenants
I just had some tenants move out of one of my rentals. They allowed their pets to urinate throughout the house. I've had the old carpet and pad removed, floors sealed, and new carpet & pad installed. Now it seems that the basement is infested with bedbugs. Soooo...I'm looking at $5000-6000 in repairs.
Has anyone had success suing tenants for damages to their property? Recommendations?

Unless they are wealthy with oodles of assets hanging out there (highly unlikely), this is like squeezing blood from a stone and a waste of time. Plus, no lawyer will take this on contingency and hourly rates will eat up your recovery. Just a cost of doing business, unfortunately.
