My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: WA
I had a tenant in an apartment for 4 years. At the time of the lease signing, I required a co-signer on the lease. I had to evict the tenant for non-payment, and won a judgment against him. I contacted the co-signer and asked her to start paying, since the tenant became a deadbeat alcoholic/drug user and has no job. She told me that she wasn't going to pay. On my judgment, her name is not mentioned. Can I amend the judgment and add her and her husband's name (community property state)? Or do I have to sue her separately now?
How do I get her to now pay the judgment against the tenant? Garnish wages (both she and her husband have jobs). And if so, is there a way to do that myself, or do I need an attorney?
Thank You - LL
