How do you sue someone in small claims court?

Go to the court house in the county where you live and/or the county where the action occurred. Ask the clerk, "What do I need to do to file a small claims suit?" Follow her/his instructions. Also, if you look online, you'll find information about small claim suits in your county. Google "how to file small claims suit" along with the city, county, and state name. Then, look for the website that ends with ".gov" and go to it. Stay away from the about.com websites with "how to" instructions as they are often wrong.

You purchased your home 2 years ago and now you are having some problems you went to the city and found out that the contractor didnt pick up the Certificate of Occupancy Do you have any recourse?

If you have damages, your best option is small claims court. Note that inconvenience alone is not a cause on which relief can be granted, and if all you had to do is pick up a Cert of Occupancy or get a final inspection, your damages are little or nothing. If you have damages other than inconvenience (had to hire another contractor, etc.), you can sue in small claims court, or if your damages exceed small claims, sue in Superior/Circuit Court with an attorney representing you.
