AFAIK, you have to take them to court in order to get anything legal going. If they fail to show, then a judgement lien can be put upon them. I don't think you can put a lien on someone without the hearing, but if you have a signed rental agreement then you may have some options. Of course, you would need to talk to a lawyer to get anything like that sorted out.
Sorry to hear about the situation. I hear so many bad things from people who have rented property that it just seems like it's always going to bite you in the end. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Heald, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 7:19 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Bad Checks and renters > > > Hey kids, > I own a home in N.C. which I am renting out.
