What is the name of your state? Florida
When filing for eviction you can file for Count I (eviction only) or Count II (open rent and eviction). Filing for Count I is much quicker, as you do not need to serve the court documents in person, so I usually do that. Also it usually does not make sense to try to get money from a tenant that is broke.
After a successful eviction ruling the tenant is evicted. The ruling gets published not only on the docket but also in the official court records.
The final judgement says:
THIS ACTION came before the Court upon Plaintiffs Complaint for eviction. On the evidence presented, it is ADJUDGED that Plaintiff recover from Defendant, possession of the real property described as follows: (Property) and $ 195.00 as court costs, for WHICH LETS WRIT OF POSSESSION AND EXECUTIONS NOW ISSUE.
Normally we are happy once the tenant is out and as we are usually quick and have deposits, we do not lose money.
But now I have a tenant where I would pursue this a little further if possible. She lied to the court about payments made to the court and delayed the process making the judge very upset.
I know her bank accounts and where she works for the government. With the above ruling, should I not be able to garnish the accounts or the wages?
