Even if I get them served papers and get a money judgement, it takes years to get the money collected and my collection agency charges 50% fees.So there is no good reason to wait. 

(Generally, Court will only allow you to collect rent for the time they occupied)With a the information above you will be able to get a judgement in there name and have the sheriff sweep there bank accounts for money owed and garnish there wages. 

It all comes down to documentation and who presents better in front of the judge.If they do not get a judgement with the eviction for a certain amount then they will have to take here to small claims court.A judge there will issue a verdict and amount to be paid.The courts do not enforce a judgement.The owner or manager company would have to.They can file a FIFA to show on credit and go after wage garnishment and bank levy if they are granted it.Customs vary by state.No legal advice

I'm not concerned about the ability to collect those judgements -- I only need data on judgements v. non-judgement evictions.

I could get a judgement, but there will be no way anything will even be left.

By your judgement it would be Class B, I can't imagine it being class C though.

Just got a judgement last week (victory dance!)...

Please continue the discussion, but try and keep emotions and judgements of other people out of it.thanks!

Please check out point 2. under Lien, Judgements & Comments... it says "Final Judgement Foreclosure", $1,213,766.67!

If for some reason they could not be made whole they can pursue a deficiency judgement and then have the ability to attach liens to property and garnish wages ect to recover losses.
