@Jon Holdman - I dont think so. He might be if i dug a little more. I was talking to my girlfriend about it this weekend and she told me the marshal did try to remove the funds from the tenants bank account but the bank account we gave them was closed. He did have a job, but i cant remember where, and he didn't have any valuable assets other than some old video games and some band equipment.

I DO know where he lives though. He told us his new address in an old voice mail and its in the same neighborhood. I actually saw him walking down the street this past Saturday!

I think my best bet is to just send it to collections as you suggested.

Eddie T. - I paid the attorney about 270 and the eviction only took a couple weeks, so I was pretty satisfied about that. I also manage this property by myself. 2 years to evict someone in NYC!!! I would go insane!!!

@Jon Holdman I did not. The attorney i hired for this incident handled everything. They told me that the tenant had 30 days to pay the past due rent and if the tenant did not pay within the 30 days then the attorney's office would contact the marshal and have them pursue it.

@Jon Holdman This is from NYC.gov, but it works the same in Rochester, NY. Marshals do collect, but who knows how much effort they actually put forth. http://www.nyc.gov/html/doi/html/marshals/judgements.shtml#faq26

@Jon Holdman That's what my attorney told me. I've been considering turning it over to a collection agency. I have the judgement paperwork. If I went that route I obviously wouldn't get the full judgement amount but it would at least cover my court fees.

This past winter I had a tenant whose lease I wasn't going to renew because the unit needed some serious rehab. Anyway tenant wouldn't leave, had to go through the entire eviction process, in the end the judge ruled that the tenant had to pay rent for the extra month that the tenant decided to stay. The tenant never payed and the Marshall never collected. What next?

Thanks Dave Visaya. Dave Savage. Yea the topic tonight was a little dull, but I am interested in some of the upcoming topics and I hope to attend one of the landlord meetings. I've had issues with some tenants a couple months ago, id like to get advice on how to handle it in the future. Maybe the answer is already on here. :)

Dmitriy Fomichenko thanks for the info. I will definitely take those steps. Joshua Dorkin and Barry Cohen, I'm heading to the meeting. Hope to see you there!
