A default judgment is nothing more than a judgment obtained because defendant did not show up for court. In Texas, when a default judgment is entered, the petitioner gets all that they have asked for.

Can someone put a lien on your house that you rent for a small claims judgment?

It all depends on the laws and court rules of the state where the court is. But usually even a default judgment in a small claims court will count as a judgment lien, although a default judgment usually can be set aside if there were reasonable excuses for the default and if there is a meritorious defense. Some small claims courts require that a transcript of the judgment be sent to a central judgment docketing office, meaning that the judgment is not an automatic statewide lien as a judgment in a regular trial court would be.
