    Default Tenant not paying

    I dont know if my question goes under this category or not. August 1 2003 I let my property management company put a tenant into a 2 unit I owned. The tenant was late every single month and from december no payments were received. I was telling my management company to do an eviction. They tenant wasnt out until april. I am owed 2400 from the tenant which never paid a dollar yet. My management company said they went to court and they later said they were gonna file judgement. I never heard from anyone no money has been sent to me. I believe the management company has alot of fault in this also. Is there anything I can do against the tenant or mangement company? I sold my rental last november. Thanx for any help.

    Default Seeking Rent from ex-Tenant

    You should be able to secure a money judgment against your tenant, assuming that the management company has not already done so, and nothing in the prior judgment would impede your ability to bring the new suit. You should get a copy of the prior judgment, such that you (or you, in conjunction with your legal counsel) can assess that question. If it is necessary to seek a money judgment, that amount can probably be resolved through a small claims suit.

    Your rights or remedies in relation to your management company would likely depend upon the terms of your contract with them.
