Reliable delinquent rent collection company in Pennsylvania

Hi,

I am a landlord and I have 56 units in Pittsburgh, PA and I often come across scenario that tenant leaves without paying rent or I evict tenant, get judgement but can't collect the rent. I don't have much time to go after all the process of garnishment and so. Can anyone suggest a reasonably reliable tenant delinquent rent collection company? I don't want to hire a collection company who sends out one or two mail to the company or just make one or two phone call and close the case. I want them to try hard and finally report it to credit bureau. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Mohammad

If you get a judgement best bet is wage garnishment.  Even then they can switch jobs though.  Tough spot for sure, maybe look at adjusting screening criteria to improve chances of more responsible tenants.  Depends on your rentals/price and location though.
