Commercial property judgment collection
Commercial property owners — office building owners, retail center operators, industrial park landlords, mixed-use developers — hold some of the most actionable commercial judgments in California. Business tenants who defaulted on leases often leave behind a judgment that’s collectible if pursued with the right tools.
Unlike residential tenant judgments, commercial tenant cases frequently involve business entities with personal guarantors, ongoing business activity in successor entities, and real property interests that can be liened. These are exactly the cases we pursue.

- Commercial lease default judgments — Business tenant defaulted on a commercial lease; judgment entered for unpaid rent, holdover damages, and lease break costs.

FAQ
My tenant was a national chain. Are those judgments collectible?
National chains that have closed locations or filed bankruptcy present specific challenges. If the entity filed Chapter 11 and rejected the lease, the claim may have been discharged or converted to a bankruptcy claim. Tell us the specific entity and timeline and we’ll give you an honest read.
The tenant had a personal guarantee but the principal has moved out of California.
California judgments are enforceable in other states. If the guarantor has moved to Nevada, Texas, or anywhere else, the judgment can be registered in that state and enforced there. Out-of-state debtors add complexity but don’t eliminate value.
I have multiple judgments from tenants in the same property. Can I sell them in bulk?
We evaluate each judgment individually. Submit them all and we’ll tell you which ones fit our criteria. We can discuss a streamlined process for multiple related judgments from the same property.
