Wage garnishment on past tenant with judgement awarded

[Jim Hlavacek]

Hello,

I have a judgement from the courts against a past tenant for past due rents due. Is there a process in RI that allows for a wage garnishment to recover those funds?

Sit on the judgment. Renew it before it expires. Wait patiently for the tenant to buy real estate, then record the judgment in the county where the property is located in order to obtain your lien -- the balance of which has been accruing interest nicely in the interim.

Anything else is a waste of resources.
