What are my options for legal action against deadbeat tenants whom I have already evicted?
They owe me $5100. in back rent, $1600. for the electric bill, $3000. damages and legal fees for the eviction. They are a non married couple so may I take them to small claims court separately for joint lease obligations.And if I win small claims court is it possible to garnish wages? Or another way to guarantee payment? How else can I ruin their credit and lives?
This is in the State of Florida as I know laws vary.
Please help!

Here are the laws-see link-Move on Check out the next tenants history carefully and if you don't have a way to do this hire a professional REALTOR or property manager who does! Sounds like you feel that they have ruined your life. No one else can really do that. There are steps you need to take with future tenants to protect yourself. Landlording is a business and MR or Mrs. Nice guy Landlord shouldn't live here! If they are late-hang the three day notice so that they see it the morning of the third day when they leave for work! We used to use bright pink paper to be sure that they and everyone else knew exactly what it was and why it was there. Don't give an inch! Respect is what you want then no flexibility is the way to get it. Does you bank say "oh no problem" if you are late with the mortgage? No they don't. Do what needs to be done so that you aren't paying for it. If they are late make the late fees painful and daily! p.s. take good care of good tenants and all will be well- you will have a waiting list. Word will get around that you are tough but, you are the fastest person around to show up with a plunger in the middle of the night if there is a problem. Good luck.

You have to use a collection agency to try to collect before you can garish. The costs averages 15% and you pay nothing if they do not collect.

After that fails you can simply garish their wages and tax returns. You apply for that thru your District Attorney. There is no costs to you, but you have to prove they are unwilling to pay, which is why you have to do the collection agency thing, that is documented proof.

Islander,

do as u plan.
get ready to put this in your
HardLessonsLearned book.
do what u can then release the emotions of it.

I assume demand letter(s) are already sent. Small claims, then judgment in your favor, then wage garnishment. Collections if you get tired of chasing them. It's very difficult to collect from deadbeat renters.

You might make sure than any state tenant information agencies have their information.

I hear a doll with pins sticking out of it sometimes works too. :>


APF
hire a attorney you will have to prove to the court that they own you, the irs will want proof too when you do your taxes they won't show up at court date and you will get a judgement if the court appoves then have your attorney file a lien for each one this will stay on their credit for years you got to find out where they work before you can garnish their wages. learn by this have a personel & credit check done on any want to be renter well worth the cost used same attorney to help you with the leases good luck

You'll have to go after each individual on the lease since they are not a married couple. I'm not sure why you let them get that far in debt with you though.
I suggest you consult a lawyer since it is $5,100 they owe you.


Candy G
you might be able to put a judgement against them or a lein don't expect anything for a long time but if either one tries to but a house they will have to pay you back first good luck


MIND THE GAP
If you get a court judgement, to they have any assest you can go after. Renters usually don't so your judgement is worthless.


anaise
One question for you: Why did you allow someone to rack you up in bills that high? If they didn't pay the rent the first month, didn't you think your tenants have an issue? I would have changed the locks by the 35th day and taken their stuff.
