Tenant Being Evicted for Nonpayment

Wade Garrett
  • Montvale, NJ
Posted

I am in the process of evicting a tenant. This one is going to go to court, and it is as clear as day that she hasn't paid rent and I am likely to win. 

My question is, what are the consequences for her post-eviction? Specifically, if there is a judgement against her, what is her motivation to pay back rent once she has been booted from the property? Will I ever get this money?

1. I know it hits her credit history, which is somewhat of a deterrent to not paying. 

2. I know they can garner wages, but how realistic is that? And what is the timeline?
