Please assume we don't know what you are talking about. Then organize your thoughts into coherent sentences and post again. That way we can understand what you are attempting to say.

Perhaps damages need to be filed in another court. In my state, LL/Tenant court is a division of small claims court but only handles evictions and possessions. Damages and monetary compensations needs to be pursued in another part of civil court.

Can barely make any sense of your post. My guess would be if you were not awarded damages it's because you did not provide evidence sufficient to prove the damages.
