Can you sue a tenant for the remaining rent due on the lease after an eviction judgment has been issued by the court?

Absolutely! Most of the time when you evict a tenant you want to supplement the eviction by a judgment for damages to include, but not limited to, past due rent. A judgment for both eviction and the damages will then be posted on the official records of the clerk's office.

If I move out before court will the eviction still go on my record?
Once an eviction proceeding has been initiated (the case has been filed by the clerk), it becomes a matter of public record. So even if you leave the premises before the eviction concludes or the writ is served, it can still be found.
How can an eviction judgment on your tenant record be fixed?
If the judgment was reported to the credit bureaus, the tenant needs to pay it, get the judgment amended to zero by the court, and send that to the credit bureaus. However, the fact that there was a case can never be erased.

No need to do any reporting. When the eviction judgment was entered, the credit bureaus update their files and will put this on the defendant tenant's credit file.

Most courts can only allow a tenant to stay if the tenant has the entire arrearage. Some courts won't even do that.
How much it will cost you to evict a tenant?
There are many factors to consider when calculating the cost of evicting a tenant. In landlord utopia (that is, where you have a tenant who works for the government and drives a Bentley with Gucci seats) the cost of the eviction is technically nothing--you would be awarded a judgment against the tenant for all your costs (if you win your case). The tenant would then have to pay you. Absent a utopian tenant, you will end up with a judgment that can't be collected for years (if ever).These are the costs of eviction* Preparation of eviction summons and complaint*Cost to attend court hearings or cost to hire attorney to represent you in court*Eviction lawsuit filing fee*Trial preparation (if the eviction is contested)*Sheriff's Fee (to evict the tenant)*Lost rent (while the eviction is pending)*Moving and Storage Fees (if the tenant does not object, you must store the tenant's property according to law)I have not put dollar amounts in because they vary from state to state. A landlord's group in your area can give you the specific dollar amounts for eviction in your state. Please see the Related Questions below for more information.
What happens to personal property of an evicted tenant in New Jersey?
A tenant is "evicted" when the court issues a judgment for possession to the landlord. That judgment gives the tenant a date by which the move has to be made. If the tenant holds over in possession of the apartment despite the judgment of possession, the landlord gets a "warrant for removal", which is sent to a court constable. If the tenant has not vacated the premises, the warrant for removal permits the court officer to physically remove the tenant's belongings out of the apartment and leave them at the curb. It is extremely rare that such a thing ever happens though, because in virtually every eviction matter, the tenant moves out before the physical eviction has to take place.
Can a commercial landlord in Louisiana seize the equipment and inventory of a retail store when an eviction notice is served if the tenant can't make a lease payment?
If the tenant did not vacate (self and property) within 24 hours of notice of judgment of eviction, then the property left behind can be seized. You can delay and fight eviction though, and the process itself takes some time. They have to give you a notice to vacate, and then an Rule for Possession, and then there is a court date, and then you can appeal, and if all that fails you have 24 hours to get out after the judgment.
