Re: a supposed judgement on a rental

You should probably consult with Utah Legal Services, who provide low or no cost legal services depending on your financial situation. A judgment is not valid unless you or a member of your household was properly served. If he caused a condition which rendered the place unsafe, he may not be entitled to recovery. Your case must be analyzed in light of all of the facts, so contact Utah Legal Services.
