Go to the court
where the landlord received the judgment. You will talk to the clerk who will let you file a motion to restore the action.
The lien will probably NOT be lifted until and if you win the case, but you should request the lifting of the lien anyway. Bring ALL the papers on the case and rental as well as the judgment and lien papers from the bank which should have the marshal or sheriff's name.
Good luck.
