Jackson Heights, NY asked in Real Estate Law, Landlord - Tenant and Small Claims for Pennsylvania

Q: I filed a eviction for non-payment of 2 months rent ,damages,and utility bills which were never payed. We go to court.

She reveals she left a few days ago and claims harassment from a third party phone call by a relative of mine. Which was news to me and sounded bad to be honest . The judge decides she doesn’t need to pay us back anything . But now that she has left there are unpaid ullity bills,the house is a complete mess,etc. We can appeal but is it even worth it at this point ? Or should we just be happy she left ? A neighbor told us we should at least report her to the credit bureaus.

Secondly can she do anything back in return due that phone call?
