After winning a court claim, there are usually negotiations or agreements made, possibly leading to a payment plan if the debtor doesn’t have the full amount—say $5,000—readily available. In the case of employed individuals, wage garnishment could be pursued. A valid court order also allows the landlord to employ a collection agency to follow up on the debt.
Landlords have several methods to attempt debt recovery after winning a court claim. The process can be complex, so it’s useful to seek guidance from other landlords, local landlord associations, or those acquainted with the legal system in your area, as their insights can be crucial in navigating these situations effectively.
