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. In most states you can also get a money judgment against the tenant, but this requires one of two things: 1) the tenant must have been personally served... Eviction Ramification Notice
The Landlord Protection Agency® presents John Reno, Esq., a highly experienced Landlord - Tenant attorney based on Long Island, NY.
John Reno also does Mortgage Loan Modifications (Nationwide). Dear Mr. Reno:
At the beginning of May, Student #1 and Student #2 found qualified replacement tenants (Student #4 and Student #5) for their respective rooms; however, I did not release them from the original agreement. Student #3 simply vacated without proper notice. None of them left a forwarding address. A: It's a small claims case, the problem's finding them. Sometimes I can get away with using the premises as their last known address which usually results in a default judgment (dead beats don't generally have their mail forwarded.) Sometimes the court won't let you, but usually it works. If you have a landlord tenant problem you'd like to ask a question about, please feel free to e-mail me your question. Landlord Tip (with free form):Eliminate Move-Out Problems in the Beginning.When executing a new lease, remember to staple an Intention to Vacate form on the back of the tenant's lease. Reminding the tenant to give proper notice and proper move-out procedure can make your life a lot easier when it's time to start looking for a new tenant.- Dan A., OH "I'm expecting a death in the family pretty soon. After that, I'll be all caught up." She's talking about her elder neglected father who should be cared for and fed. - Sharona R., NJ "A tree limb fell and damaged my car. It was your tree so you should pay." That's why my LPA lease requires them to have renters insurance. The lease protects me, but I think this tenant may have to go. - Maxine, NY "I found mouse droppings in my shoes. Something better be done." The rent is already late and according to our lease, you are responsible for exterminating. You really need to pay the rent or you may be evicted before the mouse is. (The mice must like strong toe cheese.) - Judy W., Bronx, NY
