Recovering Tenant Damages Missouri
Summary
Lesa, a Missouri landlord, sought to recover financial damages from a past tenant. After obtaining a judgment, she needed to enforce it. The case number for post-judgment actions remains the same as the original eviction case. For garnishment from an employer, she needed to file a Request for Garnishment, Garnishment Affidavit, Notice of Garnishment, and Writ of Garnishment, along with a Certificate of Service. All forms should be filed together at the courthouse. The Certificate of Service confirms that documents were properly delivered to the employer and possibly the debtor. Detailed steps were provided for completing and filing these forms.Full Conversation

- **Garnishment**: You can garnish the debtor's wages or bank accounts.
