Andy H. Evicting a tenant who filed for bankruptcy: cash for keys?
21 October 2015 | 21 replies
Lol.Additionally, as a landlord, since you incurred a fee, technically you can send them to colelctions for the 35 dollar bounced check fee, which will do damage to their credit, and stay on their report for 7 years.Add an additional collectiosn on their for the collections agency in addition to your own, who is legally allowed to do so (most states allow for original debtor + 1 collection agency to report on a single debt), this makes it substantially more damaging to their credit, as each collections deals at least 20-80 points a piece (diminishing returns).Add a judgement for rent on top of that, as well as a collection set for the rents itself, and a separate set for the eviction costs (because those are separate from the actual rents), and you have pretty much a death kneel to their credit for upwards of 7 years, 10 if they end of fighting or disputing anything after the fact.
