It was during the pandemic, so the courtroom was a teleconference. For $300, it's not worth the stress (unless you can also claim statutory/punitive damages). But it is worth knowing you've deprived a leech of committing theft, if that appeals to you.
Small claims court is not too hard and doesn't require a lawyer, but do try to find some free legal advice before your court date. Housing issues usually have free legal advice in most jurisdictions.
