Hi folks, bit of a long story so I'll try to keep it short. I had a rental property that I had a tenant for around 3 years. When the lease agreement expired we ended up putting the house on the market. It was only then that I found out they had a balance of $4000 on the water bill. So in order for me to sell the house the title company needed that water bill to be paid.
So I paid it and proceeded to try and get that money from the tenants. We've had a lot of back and forth in the beginning. She promised to pay it but months and months went by and a lot of broken promises.
Fast forward 2 years...I still haven't seen one dime of it. I've thought of small claims in the past but just wanted to try and resolve it without doing anything like that.
They have now stopped communicating with me and also have moved from the apartment they we staying at so I'm not even sure where they are located now.
Her son does go to the same school my daughter is in so I know they are still in the same city.
What should my next move be?
Thanks in advance.
