Reporting evictions on a tenants credit report

[Ethen Royal]

I am in the process of evicting someone, but I am unsure how to report the eviction on the credit report along with money owed. After the initial eviction from the court they do not have the SSN of the tenant to report it on there credit. How do I go about reporting an eviction on some ones credit so the next property manager / landlord is aware and I can attempt to recoup some of my money back?

Quote from @Ethen Royal:

Different methods, but my policy is to get a monetary judgment. If the tenant refuses to pay, I send them to collections. The collection agency reports them to the credit reporting agencies, dinging the tenant's credit and showing the collection to anyone that runs a credit check on them. It may prevent them from qualifying for another rental, a home loan, car loan, credit card, etc. If they have decent credit and care to maintain it, they will eventually pay me back. If they don't care, at least I have the satisfaction of knowing it may prevent them from cheating another Landlord.
