I did rent to this guy. About 3 years ago. I ended up suing him in court, won a judgment against him for $7,500, but you can imagine my success in collecting.
Yes I did a background check. But they gave false SSNs to me. I was still a little green at this landlord thing and did not verify with other means.
Recently I got in touch with a collection agency who wanted to see if they could get the money back. I googled my renter and found this article. When I went through h*ll with him, I called my lawyer and asked if I could splash his name all over the internet. My lawyer told me to let it go.
Now I'm thinking the best way to get back at a renter who screws you is to call the local news. Let them do a story on them. Then when other landlords are doing background checks on their tenants, they might google the story.
And for those in Minnesota - watch out for this family!
