Understanding Judgment Proof In An Eviction Case

Full Conversation

I am a disabled Veteran and I was wondering about a term I read about. What does does judgement proof mean? and can this term relate to a eviction case in anyway?
Hello ****, "Judgment proof" refers to a person who does not have enough assets for a creditor to seize even if a court judgment is obtained against them. In the context of eviction, it would mean that even if your landlord wins an eviction lawsuit, they may not be able to collect any unpaid rent or damages if you don't have enough assets.
in any way possible can that term be applied to my previous eviction court case?
Judgment proof can be applied if after your eviction court case, you had no assets or income for the landlord to collect unpaid rent or damages. However, your status as "judgment proof" doesn't erase the debt, it only makes it hard to collect.
I understand, I have indirect proof of payment of rent but I am unsure if it would be accepted.
Could you please provide more details about this indirect proof of payment? It could be essential in determining its acceptance in court. In Arizona, evidence such as bank statements, or written communication acknowledging the payment can be useful.
I have bank statements and entries that show I made large amounts of money being withdrawn during the time frame of my previous eviction, the money went to pay my eviction. I have no proof and the previous landlord erased all of his computer database before selling the property to another company.
In Arizona, evidence such as bank statements can be used to show payment. However, it's important to prepare for the possibility that the landlord may dispute this. I would recommend consulting a lawyer to discuss the best course of action.
What to about my previous landlord erasing all of his computer database before selling the property to another company, the erased information included past payments I had given them. The database erased was verified and confirmed by the new property owners.
The actions of your previous landlord could potentially be illegal. In Arizona, landlords are required to maintain records for a certain period. You may want to consult with a lawyer to discuss possible legal action.
Should I ask my previous landlord attorney if they have any records regarding my past eviction?
Yes, it would be a good idea to request these records. In Arizona, you have a right to access such records as they pertain to your past eviction. However, consider having your own attorney present during this process.
is there a lawyer in Tempe who knows about evictions and disabled veterans rights?
Yes, there are lawyers in Tempe who specialize in eviction cases and veterans' rights. I recommend reaching out to the State Bar of Arizona's Find a Lawyer service for assistance. You can find a lawyer based on your specific needs.
Can a LLC be created every year for the same property and the same owner under a differently named LLC?
In Arizona, a same owner can form multiple LLCs for the same property under different names. However, there may be additional legal and tax implications for doing so. It's recommended to consult with a real estate attorney or tax professional.
What would the purpose for doing that if it is single member LLC?
The purpose of forming multiple LLCs for the same property can vary. It may be for liability protection, tax benefits, or management purposes. However, the specific legal and financial implications should be discussed with a professional.
what are the benefits for the property ?
Forming multiple LLCs for a single property can provide several benefits:
- Liability Protection: Each LLC operates independently, protecting assets of one from the liabilities of another.
- Flexibility: Different LLCs can have different management structures.
- Potential Tax Benefits: Depending on the structure, there may be tax benefits.

Please consult with a professional for specifics.
can a landlord LLC have a parent entity?
Yes, a landlord LLC can have a parent entity. In this structure, the parent company owns the subsidiary LLCs. This can provide extra layers of legal and financial protection. It's important to consult with a legal expert to understand all implications.
If a landlord's single member LLC gets administratively dissolved where would assets go such as default eviction judgement in favor of the landlord's LLC?
In Arizona, if a single-member LLC is administratively dissolved, any remaining assets would generally be distributed to the owner. This may include any judgment in favor of the LLC. However, specifics can vary, so it's best to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your situation.
who owns debt from a previous eviction at a landlord LLC no longer exist?
In Arizona, if a landlord's LLC is dissolved, any existing judgments or debts typically pass to the owner or successor entity. However, specifics can vary. It's advised to consult with a legal professional.
