My evicted tenant vanished without paying her last month rent and I had won a court judgement for wage garnishment. The court need her social security number in order to proceed. Where can I start? Thanks.

On the application form you took from her.
You did verify before renting, right?

Didn't have social on application. I relied on zillow for credit check. David, how to verify tenant's social security?

Your application should require a social security number. It's one of the things necessary to verify identity and it's important to have so you can go after them later.
Turn it over to a collection agency so it shows on her credit report. You'll probably never collect anything but at least the collection agency can keep the pressure on her.
