Notice of Voluntary Dismissal [Form #15]

known mailing address of your intention to keep the deposit and the reason for keeping it. If
the tenant does not object to the notice, you may then keep the amount stated in the notice
and must send the rest of the deposit to the tenant within 30 days after the date of the notice.
AFTER DAMAGES JUDGMENT:
After the Court enters this judgment you should obtain a certified copy of the judgment from the Clerk of the
Court and record the certified copy in the public records in any county in which the Tenant owns real property.
The Clerk of the Small Claims Court can probably provide you with information concerning the collection of
the amounts owed you.
A judgment for money (if properly recorded) is a lien upon the real or personal property of the person against
whom the judgment is entered for a period of ten years. The lien may then be extended for an additional period
of ten years by re-recording a certified copy of the judgment prior to the expiration of the lien, and by
simultaneously recording an affidavit with the current address of the person who has a lien as a result of the
judgment. The lien may not be extended beyond twenty years from the date of entry of the judgment, or beyond
the point the lien is satisfied, whichever occurs first.
