I sorry you have such a tough situation. Since the problem occurred in LA, you are probably stuck with it. There comes a point where the value of what you lost is not worth what you will have to spend to get a settlement. It's wrong and not fair, but you may have reached that point. I wish you the very best of luck in moving on and rebuilding your life.

Money issues are resolved in a court in the county they occurred in.
You have to do the math,
How much is the property worth ?
How much do you want to invest $$ pursuing it ?
Given the events of the hurricane, the landlord had challenges also and the court may not be too harsh with him , but only you can decide how far to pursue this.

check to see if there is a way someone local can act on your behalf. maybe if they show up several times and the landlord does not you will end up winning
