I have an order from the Landlord and Tenant Board, tenants were evicted but still owe non-paid rent. How do I register the Board’s order with a collections agency, and who/where/when do I register it?

One of the methods of collecting unpaid rent after obtaining an order from the Board is by garnishment of wages. Of course this is only possible if you know where the tenant is employed. Another way is by garnishment of a bank account as long as you have all the information on where the tenant banks and where the tenant is residing now. If you have this information then you could start the process by simply filling out the required garnishment forms, file them with Small Claims Court and then serve these documents to the employer or the bank and the former tenant. If neither of these methods are possible then it may be best to go to a collection agency. You can find a collection agency on-line or in the Yellow Pages and contact them with the information you have and they can tell you how their services work. If you want to find out more information on collecting the Small Claims Court website has several guides, one of which is called After Judgment – Guide to Getting Results, here is the link, http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/courts/guides/After_Judgement_Guide_to_Getting_Results_EN.pdf
