Hello,
I just received the text from the tenant:
At 9:12pm this evening, I received the text from the tenant, Here is the exactly wordings.
>>>>> The key is in the door, don't contact me ever again. Our business is done.>>>>
I did not know the conditions they left behind. The tenant sent two threaten emails to me this morning, I had to contact the police sergeant to get involved.
I do not know if the policeman could come by and go in with me tomorrow.
Do I need to file the writ tomorrow? If they left tonight?
I have no intention for not being a LL. If someone wants to buy it, (in one of the replies), you can contact me privately.
By the way, how and where do I have a way to get my judgement back? Of course, I do not have their forwarding address.
Thanks.

Unlikely they are going to give a forwarding address if there are arrears. There are skip trace companies that can locate them. If they have bought a house then it is matter of putting a lien on the house where eventually the mortgage has to renewed. Garnishee wages is not harassment. Consider contacting a landlords association near the rentals where google to find one. If they owed considerable taxes the governments have the means to collect. There are also collection agencies but they take 50 per cent. So at least you will not be at zero. Be sure to take pictures and record all written or emails or texts along with taking pictures. --147.194.xxx.xxx |

It would be best to have someone with you in the event this is a hoax, is texting allowed as a approved means of communication in your court? I would go get the key if that is present, but just lock the door and leave, why temp fate? THe dogs may be loose inside, let the police corral them or shoot if too aggresive. --76.188.xxx.xx |

Even though they said “The key is in the door, don't contact me ever again. Our business is done.
That’s not the case
You will have to contact them to give the security deposit accounting. Required here in MO. But I do it by mail … certified, return receipt requested. Or to take them to Small Claims Court and maybe a host of other things.
A lot of times you wish you were “DONE”. Cover your tracks.

Since when does a tenant get to TELL a landlord what to do?
Follow the laws in your state. --66.188.xx.xxx |

Well, I got my property back.
Other than some damage/filthy, of course, I do not know if the water heater, A/C, heater have potential problem or not.
The tenant did not give the forwarding address. They owe more than 4 months rent/judgement.
The security deposit is not enough to cover the judgement.
I don't think the law requires me to return the security deposit, do I?
thanks.

I believe you send the statement of deductions from security deposit to their last known address. If that's. Your house, then it is. If they had the mail forwarded to their new address (not likely) they will still get it. If it comes back to your property DO NOT OPEN IT. Instead, save it in the original envelope which will have the post-mark of when it was sent, as proof that you sent it within your state's required time. How long should you save a file on a former tenant? I don"t know, but I have a couple of large filing cabinets, so I have room.
If they owe you more money than the security deposit, then, of course, they get no money back, so they would just get the statement of deductions from security deposit. --172.56.xx.x |

Even if they will not be getting money back (four months rent is usually more than security deposit,) you MUST give them the statement of deductions from security deposit, is a far as I know. Certainly most states require that.
But, again, you simple send it to their last known address, which, in your case, is the house they rented from you.
Just keep that unopened, post-marked envelope, with statement inside. If it ever goes to court ( extremely unlikely), you let the JUDGE open the envelope. --172.56.xx.x |

in TX we can post 3 day pay or quit then we can enter & seize (certain) possessions and then move to evict. Not sure why you let it slide 4 mos (??). You can use deposit towards unpaid rent. They cannot use deposit for rent. Send them an accounting of application of deposit. That is required. then sell. --166.137.xxx.xx |
