forming a limited liability company
Question
What is the proper way to fill out small claims paperwork?
i am taking a landlord to court for not paying back our deposit...we left the place spotless and there was no damage...he has sent us an email saying he is not paying it back, but has not "said" there is any damage...it has been 2 mos...ok, on the form it has a spot for our address and his address...do we have to put our new home address, or can we put a work address on there...we don't feel comfortable putting our new home address on it because the landlord has as we found out a violent past and is a drug user...also, the only address we have for him is his post office box where we sent the rent...do we need his physical business address or home address on the form?...does he have to be served by someone in person or can we just mail the lawsuit to the landlord?...thank you in advance for your advice... 29 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details we are in michigan...also, the landlord has called the 6 unit building a company that he has l.l.c. at the end of it...(limited liability company)...do we sue his "made up" company or him personaly-or put the company name and his name on the form?...

You have to put your actual new address or the whole thing is a fraud. You will be signing "this is true and correct", one bull pucky line and the whole thing is considered a lie. For his address put the one you have, it is up to him to provide his actual address on the response. You are supposed to serve him in person (not you, it has to be someone else). If you do not you can serve him via certified mail, but he has a few more weeks to respond. You will need to keep both your mail receipt and the returned signature. If he does not sign you will be sent your papers back. Do not open them and bring them to court. You will have to prove you had the right address and he had plenty of time to sign, that is your proof. You have to sue his LLC, he as a person does not own the property, they belong to his company. If you want to win this just stick to relevant facts, your proof that you paid your deposit, your proof that you are owed the deposit and your complaint of not receiving it. Skip the gossipy stuff that does not matter.
