How California Landlords Collect Eviction Judgements for Unpaid Rent and Damages
Collect money lost during the eviction process: past due rent, daily rent, legal and attorney fees.
Each year in California, landlords incur millions of dollars in expenses from damages caused by delinquent tenants. Sadly, many property owners simply let their tenant go and deal with the expenses themselves because unless they have the help of a California judgment collection agency the time involved for an individual landlord is too high.
Don’t let delinquent tenants get away with past due rent or property damage. Often, these same tenants will cause the same problems with the next land and property they rent.
Fast Eviction Service is a California court judgment collection agency that enables you to legally go after tenants for any debt they owe you – including back rent and damages – at no out of pocket cost to you. The eviction process has probably already set you back financially and now it is time to think about trying to recoup the lost rent money and frustration you’ve experienced getting them out.
In order to collect, you must first obtain a money judgment. If you would like for us to assist you in recovering money that is owed to you, we will obtain a money judgment for you at no cost.
We charge no out of pocket expenses. We work on a commission only basis, the commission fee that is charged is 40% of what is collected.
