What is the name of your state? NH...
I am trying to collect $2400.00 in back rent from an ex-tenant, have been through the Small Claims process to the point of being awarded a judgment from the court, the 30 days the tenant had to pay me are up today and I am ready to file a "Motion for Periodic Payments", in NH, I think this means the tenant will be served a notice to appear in court...which he may not do...if he does not, I understand my next step is to have him put under "Civil Arrest"...here are my questions...
What does "Civil Arrest" mean?
If he does show in court, what will the judge likley do?
Am I wasting my time here or are there repercussions for him for not paying me?
Any other advice would be appreciated!
Last I knew...which was 30 days ago...the tenant and his wife...who is also named in the case... were both employeed and had just moved into a new apartment...out of the camper they had been living in since vacating my property...so conceivably they have some income now.
Thank You!What is the name of your state?
