How do you collect the judgment cost of the evicted tenants

[Nicole He]

Hi everyone,

I’m a landlord and property manager operating in both the State of Delaware and Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I’d love to hear from other landlords and managers who have successfully collected judgment costs (e.g., unpaid rent, court fees, damages) from tenants after an eviction.

Specifically:

• What methods have you used to enforce the judgment (e.g., wage garnishment, bank levy, collections agency)?

• Have you had better success in Delaware vs. Pennsylvania?

• What are the legal or procedural steps you’ve had to take after obtaining a money judgment?

• Have you had any luck using private investigators or skip tracing if the tenant disappears?

• Any recommended attorneys or collection services you’ve worked with in either state?

I know collecting post-eviction judgments can be tricky, and I’m hoping to learn from others’ real-world experience. Thanks in advance for your insights!

Best regards,

Nicole
