What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
We rented a house in Dane County Wisconsin. We terminated our lease early due to mouse infestation and a job transfer. The owner overcharged us rent for a few months. We thought that we were paid up thru December and we weren't. He sold the house and closed in January. In the spring he took us to Small Claims Court for half of December's rent and January's rent, and a few other bogus charges. The judge ordered us to pay for rent for December and January. We paid him October 8. I know for a fact he received the cashier's check because I sent it UPS. He has also acknowledged on the phone that he got the check, cashed it and was going to file the papers with the court that it was satisfied on October 10th. He still has not done it. He said he is not going to so that our credit is ruined longer. How long does he legally have to report this as satisfied? What is our recourse for knowingly ruining our credit? We are trying to get a mortgage and need this cleared up by November 1st.
Also we have since moved to Illinois. If we can sue him for damages for not informing the court we have satisfied the judgement, can we sue him in Illinois?
Thanks.
