How to find if an eviction has been filed on my property?
I handed over my property to a property management company. They rent it to a tenant and I receive the rent for first 2 months. After that they did not send any payments to me. They said tenant is not paying the rent and they are not able to reach them. And they said they are going to file an eviction on court. After 3 months they said the tenant notify them that they are going to vacate the home. I am not sure that the property management company filed the case. How to check when/if they filed the case?

If you know the name of the tenant that took over the place from you and the property management company (or landlord), go down to the county court house where the rental is located and pull the list of plaintiffs and defendants on the unlawful detainer filings for the past six (6) months.
Most likely if any lawsuit was filed to evict the tenant who was sending you the rent that you have written about, the name and the lawsuit will be mentioned on the court's master docket. If you find the case, you can then pull the file from the court clerk to see what the status of the matter is.
