Baltimore City: Collecting Unpaid Water in Small Claims Court

Matt Schelberg

I'm preparing to take a tenant to small claims court for unpaid water bills in Baltimore City. Are there any Baltimore City BPers experienced with this? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It's a small amount of money, so I'll be filing myself. No attorney. 

What are your lessons learned? What documentation should I gather in addition to water bills and a rent ledger?

Thanks!

Matt - A judge once denied a fellow investor similar claim arguing that his courthouse was not the water court, but rather the rent court...So be prepared and think about that. I am certain, the rental agreement will support you. Good luck.
