Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Re: judgement

Dear Landlord,

With a judgment you can seek a garnishment against wages, bank accounts, as well as a judicial lien against any real estate the tenant owns.

A judgment is listed on their credit report, which affects their ability to obtain credit. That judgment is valid for ten years, and then may be renewed for ten more years. The judgment also accrues interest from the date it was obtained.

Our firm can enforce the judgment by locating the tenant and seeking enforcement, such as garnishment.

If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience. You can contact me at the number listed below.

Sincerely,

Martin L. Davis
