Uwe K. How may days late fee to add after tenant move-out?
26 June 2012 | 9 replies
From my experience it is easy to get a judgement.It is very hard and time consuming to collect.Therefore especially on any tenant that is questionable you have to get a large security deposit to compensate.If you don't you will be sorry later.For judgements you can try the bill collector route but it almost never works,you can try an attorney but that doesn't work,you can do it yourself,or hire a judgement collector company.You have to make sure the past tenant is not "judgement proof" and will just file bankruptcy or has nothing to lose to begin with.After years you might collect some of the money.The best thing to do is either hire it off to a "judgement collection company" where they pay for court costs and collection split what they collect 50/50 with you which can take years OR you can sell the judgement to them for maybe 15 to 20 cents on the dollar and they pay you today.The judgement has to be for a certain size and they will research the debtor to see if they are judgement proof before offering the cash upfront.
