In Unlawful Detainer actions, an additional part of the service provided to you by the Law Office of Gary Link is to obtain a money judgment against your tenant. This service is included in the initial retainer fee. In most "default" situations the money judgment typically includes unpaid rent through the day you obtain possession of the residence, attorneys fees against your tenant if you have a written, signed rental agreement providing for attorneys fees to be awarded against the tenant, as well as court costs if your pre-lawsuit notice contains a demand for costs.

Accordingly, after you obtain actual possession of the premises - whether by Sheriff's lock-out, mutual agreement with the tenant or otherwise, AND after you have sent your security deposit statement to the tenant, simply complete our Money Judgment Questionnaire (which will be automatically mailed to you with Status Report #2), and return the completed form to our office. Unless you return this information to us, we shall not be able to submit your request for a money judgment to the court.
