Collecting an Eviction Judgement
So, as some of you may know, I managed to win my eviction hearing and the judge ordered the tenant to pay.
Has anyone tried to collect on these judgements? I called some collection agencies and they basically admitted that for the amount of the judgement, they aren't willing to do much more than call and harass him for a while. A deadbeat renter can easily parry a few annoying phone calls.
I'm thinking about just taking him to small claims court, can that be done? I imagine I can get his wages garnished or maybe collect from his tax return.
I know most people are going to tell me not to bother, which is fine, but that's not really my question.
