although i am the last person to pass judgement on anyone, few of us can completely escape our bad habits.  

The law says they still owe you all rent they haven’t yet paid you, but it’s on you to get the judgement and try to collect.My friend tried to sell the house for about six months while it was occupied by a non paying tenant with an above market rent amount.

Your lease should also stipulate financial penalties in the event that the tenant does no move out on time, and you can seek a judgement since you're already planning to go through the courts for other items.I would give your tenant another notification too and let them know your intentions, and that you will not accept anymore rent.  

Served squatter with notice to vacate in March.Sold it to my homeboy in May.Went with him to the courthouse in October to file an ejectment suit.Squatter was served & never responded.Went to court with my homeboy on Thursday of this week for Judge Ballard to enter default judgement.

If you want to do both, go to court, get a judgement, and then file that judgement with DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service) to have her pay garnished. 

I do all of my background checks the old fashioned way: making phone calls, checking up on references and making judgement calls based on meaningful interviews.

Took him to small claims and he never showed so we got the judgement . 

In other words she has to go to court and get a judgement.  

Add in there some State liens and support liens if they have been converted from a judgement. 

Hello, My husband and I were swindled by a general contractor and received a favorable judgement against him.
