| CAN I COLLECT UPON THE MONEY JUDGMENT?
|
Upon your specific request - after the money judgment is obtained, the Law Office will attempt to collect from the tenant through the process of Wage Garnishment or Bank Levy. Upon collection by either method, we shall send you two-thirds of any sums collected from your tenant, less any sums advanced by this office on your behalf. After the money judgment is obtained against your tenant, contact one of our staff to inform us of your former tenant's place of employment and/or the location and bank account number of any former tenant account. The statistical probability of collection against a former tenant is approximately 2%. Most tenants are not able to be relocated, are unemployed, receive some form of governmental assistance, are self-employed, or for many other reasons not able to be effectively collected against. Essentially, the "lion's share" of the victory in an eviction action is to quickly and legally obtain possession of the premises. Knowing this should encourage you to carefully and fully screen each and every applicant. |
