Can landlord deduct Eviction judgement amount from deposit
Hi,
There was an eviction case and judgement is in favor of landlord. If there is a judgement amount awarded to landlord in the judgement,
wondering if landlord can deduct the judgement amount from Tenant's security deposit. Also, if there are other attorney fees besides judgement (like attorney filing "writ of possession" fee, and court fee for "writ of possession"), can this amount be deducted from security deposit as well?
Thanks
