Rochester NY: How to collect when the Marshall won't?

[Aaron Stevens]

This past winter I had a tenant whose lease I wasn't going to renew because the unit needed some serious rehab. Anyway tenant wouldn't leave, had to go through the entire eviction process, in the end the judge ruled that the tenant had to pay rent for the extra month that the tenant decided to stay. The tenant never payed and the Marshall never collected. What next?

Do Marshalls collect judgements in NY? That would be unusual. What you won in court was a judgement against the tenants. Its up to you to actually collect on it.

Simplest way is to turn it over to a collection agency and leave it to them to pursue it.
