Small Claim Courts A Perfect Venue For Rental Disputes
Small claims court is not for everyone — or every situation. The maximum award possible varies widely by state and jurisdiction. In California, it can be as high as $7,500, while in Massachusetts the usual limit is a mere $2,000. Exceptions to the rule based on type of claim and parties involved should be noted. There is also a statute of limitations or time limit in which claims can be filed. To access the small claims court in your state, type “small claims” and the name of the state into any Internet search engine. Most have links to local courts as well. If the type of case and dollar amount is in line with your situation and the case seems viable, the next step is to organize and evaluate the strength of your case.
