The topic for the meeting was Small Claims Court. Shown were pictures of Mark Dunn's Investment property after the Tenant was evicted. Since I am the Property Manager and I have an llc the most I can collect on my own is $1500. If we want to collect more we have to take an attorney with us. Their limit is $6,000. In this instance we had more damage and rent owed than that so we had the attorney drop the case and file in Circuit Court. We will have until the actual court date to change the amount owed by this Tenant and then we are going after him. I have been to court in Madison County and Delaware County. Madison County follows the laws but is more in favor of the Landlord instead of the Tenant. It is ridiculous how long a Tenant can stay and not pay rent while tearing up the property. We will be looking into this problem to see if there is someway the laws can be made more fair.
We talked about the Tax Sales coming up which is a Certificate Sale and the differences. There were also copies of the paperwork showing the properties to be sold.
We are still having issues with IVY Tech and our Scholarship Program. Gary Rice is trying to get this straightened out. I will keep you posted.
 Meeting was adjourned at 8:00pm.
