Collecting an Eviction Judgement

Jim Bryant
Posted

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.
