Question: How long does an unlawful detainer judgment stay on the tenant’s record?
Answer: As with all judgments, it is valid for 10 years as far as collection goes, but the credit-reporting agencies keep this information for seven years. The judgment also accrues interest at 10 percent per annum, and can be renewed for an additional 10 years.
Question: I represent an owner of several buildings who has a few tenants that are past due on their rent. Instead of evicting them, he is offering the tenants a payment plan, if they are willing to sign a promissory note detailing the arrangement. If the tenant defaults on the promissory note, will he have to start a new eviction proceeding with a three-day notice?
