All expenses incurred in the recovery are chargeable - maybe not a big problem if you do not intend to rent again in the same area, don't care about your credit report, or the return of your security deposit.Its not a crime anyway .. so I would not follow such an amendment ... make him evict me and wait for all those continuances etc ... cost the guy a few thousand bucks to kick you out.
There likely will be a major impact on your credit score too - affecting future home buying and credit cards.
Would seem far better and probably cheaper to resolve the problem as amicably as possible. Don't know why anyone would make getting a judgement against them easy.
