How often do they go to small claims court over security deposits?

I like a known amount up front, not a constantly changing price tag.According to Marion County Clerk of Court's site - they have 4 NOC's all with Elite Building, Inc. dated 6/22 or 6/23/2021 (and with what I assume are the buyers) and Elite is listed as the building contractor on all the NOC's. 

Sharia courts very rarely accept “Documents” as evidence or give them weight.2.  

Can a contractor simply make a filing and put a lien on your property without a court hearing? 

They absolutely should have informed you about this and if they didn't, I think they would be liable.I might ask an attorney, but depending on what they say, I'd probably lean toward something like asking them to split it otherwise you'll take it to small claims court.

We not only obtained a summary judgement in our favor, but we also had the court confirm a provision in our partnership agreement whereby he was responsible for our attorney fees.  

@Michael GreerSomething doesn’t seem rightYes you win at sheriffs sale but the sheriff and courts need to finalize the funds and who gets what and then issue the deedYes in some places this can take monthsWe had one in PG county Maryland that took 14 months for them to issue the sheriffs deed

my strategy when I did court house steps and live in person auctions.most bidders pick a number like you suggest .I would follow along and wait till the end.. and then when I think the most aggressive bidder was at their max and it would usually be like  if the auction started at 200 they may be to 250k and stop most all of the time folks had a number that was rounded off like that. 

Couple of lawyers angered judge recently and were sanctioned, because they had AI draft a brief for them on a legal case litigated in court.

You can go to small claims court.
