I have had this issue back in Illinois with 2 renters over the years. Small claims court may rule in your favor which is good however then you have to collect. If they are working garnishment of wages or possible pension or SS but this all costs money. So in both instances I chose after a lot of research and advice from a lawyer not to pursue it. One renter owed me $1400 and the other did damage to the home that cost over $1500 and they lived out their security, In the end after all the fees it may not be worth it. Sorry this happened to you.
