In Sept I filed papers against my tenants because there was a remaining balance of $100.00 of unpaid rent for Sept's rent. I was awarded judgment. At the end of Sept they moved out with 7 months left on their lease. They never paid the judgment for Sept's rent and I filed more paperwork for Oct & Nov's rent. I was awarded judgment on this case also. They are now appealing the second judgment (free legal aid) saying (I don't remember what their lawyer exactly called it) but in English for me she said they are appealing on grounds that judgment had already been entered on the first case so in a sense the matter was handled then and I can't go for another judgment for something that has already been handled.
Is this correct? Am I out the other 2 months because I was already awarded judgment for the $100?
