I just evicted couple from my rent house that were were behind on their rent.

How do I make sure that this eviction goes on their credit report?

How can I enforce the judgement for payment. In other words what can I do to force them to pay me what they owe me?

Thanks.
 
Check with your local court (the one you went through for the eviction) to see if this automatically goes on the credit record.

To get a judgement for payment, you'll need to file again (this is typically done in Small Claims Court if the amount you are requesting is within the limit your particular state allows for Small Claims). You'll need to know their address (or place of work) so they can be served. If they do not respond after being formally served, you win by default. If they respond, a court hearing will be set up.

If you win a judgement at the hearing this still, unfortunately, does not guarantee they will pay; however, it also opens up to allowing you to look into garnishing wages or bank accounts.

Good luck...
