Collecting Back Rents

Recommended Posts

I have a friend who had a bad experience with renters. She went to a judge and police took them away, but how can she legally get rents owed to her? It put her in a financial bind. Thanks for any advice you can give.

She can pursue legal action against the tenants for damages. She may even win, and then she gets a judgement against the tenants. However, a judgement won't put cash in her pocket. She now has to attempt to collect on that judgement, which isn't easy and which may net her nothing for her efforts. Unless it is a substantial amount of money, tell your friend to forget about it and move on.
