Garnishment Process For Landlords

Summary

To garnish wages from an ex-tenant in Missouri, landlords can use skip tracing services to find accurate employer information. If unsuccessful, filing a motion for a subpoena in court can compel the ex-tenant to disclose their employer details under oath. Online skip tracing services like TLOxp, Skip Genie, and Accurint are cost-effective options, while private investigators may offer more detailed results. To file a motion for a subpoena, prepare a document stating your request, file it with the court, and attend a hearing if required. The court may issue the subpoena if the motion is granted.

Lesa, Missouri landlord.
Hi Lesa! What specific legal issue are you facing as a landlord in Missouri?
I have done everything needed up to the Garnishment of my ex-tenants. They just finalized their divorce and the bank info I had on him has since been zero'd out. So no luck to garnish the bank account info I have. I know who he says is his employer, but I can't get a legitimate employer address to file the paycheck garnishment. I have had it served to * different addresses now and it's getting costly. Any suggestions?
