The Small Claims section is a court in which you may sue someone (the defendant) to collect a 'small' amount of money that you believe is owed to you. Because procedures in Small Claims are simpler than in other courts, persons usually can file and present their cases relatively quickly and inexpensively, and often without an attorney. In many situations, the local (city, county, parish, state) may have a division to handle just landlord / tenant cases. 
Following are some books to help you in small claims or landlord tenant court. If need be, consult with a local attorney. Use our real estate lawyer directory.

Be sure to have completely thought through the circumstances of the events that bring you to this decision. Fully document the details as well as a summary. Have receipts, pictures or any other items to back-up your claim.

If you are scheduled to go to court, be sure to show on that day and time. Failure to show usually results in a judgment for the other party.
