Rain all day today so it's a good day to go paint!

They will notify AG office with the exception of DOJ obtained a judgement against this individual before.  

Then after they don't pay the lawsuit, you have to pay more money to try to enforce the judgement.

Assuming you're not an arborist, you made a judgement call regarding someone else's property and now you are going to have to pay the piper.

Allowing the "idea" of rental cash to cloud your judgement when the simple math is staring at you, will keep you poor. 

After pm forwarded my case (tenant did not pay rent) to collection agency, the judgement claim balance is $7,569.33.

My observation was not a judgement, it was a complaint.

Found out later that he is a serial non-paying tenant that managed to keep judgements off somehow.

I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but anyone who follows advice that is that general in nature and tries to do one of these, by advice from a post on a forum, is sure to find themselves discussing the deal with a nasty attorney on the other side of the transaction and in a very formal setting called a court room.I can not tell someone that you can climb into a piper airplane, put the key in the ignition and hit the gas and you will be flying.

Explain that if she does not pay rent and there are issues that require repair that you will need to take the issue to court and will win a judgement against her.
