Dear Fellow Landlord, In this issue:
Please e-mail us if you have any questions or would like to add or share any material / information. Collecting Money Owed by a Tenantby Attorney William Bronchick, Legalwiz.comDid you ever have to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent, then get stiffed for the bill? You may be able to collect what is owed to you, even years later. First, you need a court-ordered money judgment. If you filed for an eviction in court, you received a judgment and order of possession. The actual name of this court order may change slightly from state to state, but it's the same thing - a document signed by a judge that permits a local sheriff or constable to forcibly remove the tenants from the property.

Ask the AttorneyThe Landlord Protection Agency® is proud to introduce John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.
John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide). If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question. Dear Mr. Reno: A: Once the rent is past due, you don't need to wait further. As far as I know, that goes for Cal. as well. Dear Mr. Reno: A: If it's in the lease, it is enforceable, but there's a catch. In some jurisdictions, the eviction court only has jurisdiction over rent. So in those places (like in my area) you can only evict if the lease categorizes these things as "added rent". Either way; you can sue for a judgment; the only question is can you evict.
