Ooops, I missed the second part of your post. What to expect? You can expect the deadbeats to show up in court and blame you for being evicted. Typically, the tenant will say that you're a slumlord who doesn't maintain the property. Tenants are tenants because they consistently make the wrong decisions and don't take responsibility for their actions.
Just for fun, you might want to go spend an hour or two at eviction court well before your hearing. It's interesting to watch the mom-and-pop type landlords screw up their evictions because they didn't do their homework. Even more fun is watching each and every deadbeat perjure themselves. It won't take long to see that the landlord is always to blame (by the tenants).
