Hi @Dan Baldini, the attorney' office with whom I pursued the case collect fee for each email or phone call. Hence I decided not to go with them. If there is a much easier or cheaper way to collect the dues I am for it.
thanks.

Hello,
I was able to finally evict my tenant. To all those stress I had to go through during this process the only consoling factor is the judgment amount I got through the Justice of the Peace Court. What is the advice of the members in the forum on how to collect the dues from the tenants? In case someone has been successful please share the methodology that is legally approved.
thanks,
Ananth

Quote from @Greg M.:
If I understand you correctly, you got the eviction by the court. A quick search says they have 5 days to appeal and must post a bond equal to a months rent. If that is accurate, you do nothing. Let the 5 days pass and have the next step (Sheriff?) ready to remove them if they don't appeal. If they do, you're extremely likely to win and be paid from the bond.
The only negotiation with the tenant after the judgment is the payment plan for the money owed to you.
Due to the holidays the time to appeal has been extended and there are 2 more working days left. So just waiting.

Quote from @Phillip Austin:
@Ananth Subramanian What type of evictions is it? If it's related to nonpayment of rent, the changes they appeal is very low.
Cash for keys is a good option but it depends how much they owe. If it's a larger debt, I would not offer cash for keys.

1. Hold on to it and wait for the appeal judgment
2. Do negotiation with the tenant
If it is item 2, what are the do’s and don’ts

Quote from @Jill F.:
The thing to remember is this: you can't control what other people do, only what you do. How you respond to people who don't do what they are supposed to do, is your problem. So:
When tenant is not doing what they agreed to do or what they should be doing or what you would like him to do, instead of allowing yourself to respond by getting stressed out, spend the time planning your actions. When a tenant does not pay rent, I already know what I am going to do. I let the tenants what I am going to do and what they do is up to them. If a problem tenant has told me they are moving and then they don't pay rent, I tell them in writing when I'll be by to post their 3-day notice, what if anything they can still do to avoid my late fee and then I don't worry or stress anymore. If a tenant does not respond to my three day notice. I email or text them once again to let them know in writing when I will be filing a forcible entry and detainer (eviction) action and let them know that time is short but they can still avoid the consequences of a damaging eviction filing. If they don't respond, I swing by the apartment on the way the courthouse or before I pay the lawyer and make sure they haven't already moved. If they are still there, I evict them. Many times, I've found that tenants will decide that they would rather
not have a formal eviction on their record and pay me the rent. Not
always but usually.
Have you ever dealt with someone drunk who says they are driving home? I say 'If you get in that car and drive off I'll call the police' They'll try all kinds of BS but I hold the line and say I can't control what you do, but I'm telling you what I AM going to do. What you do is up to you. This is the same kind of thing. Just have a plan for what you are goint to do when this happens and execute it.
PS. I only manage my own properties.
regards
ananth

For some reason the update I added to the previous post did not appear in the thread. I could not edit the previous post. My bad. Instead of Murphy's law, I had written Murthy's law. The idea of my thread is to share my experience and check if I can get advice and emotional support from like minded individuals but unfortunately the post was not properly understood and only people who are either PMCs or associated with one have answered. I do understand the advantage of having a PMC to run the property but we need to focus on what I have and need to do on the current scenario and not future. BTW I regret having posted the initial question.
