A landlord cannot proceed with garnishment of the tenantâs wages until the judge has issued and signed an entry awarding damages to the landlord. If the landlord is the prevailing party, the court will award the landlord court costs and interest upon that judgment. In 2012, the judgment interest rate is 3 percent.
For example, in Massachusetts most judgment creditors can only garnish up to 15% of your wages. To find the state wage garnishment rules in your state, visit the website of your state department of labor. Or check out Nolo's State Wage Garnishment page; it has articles on wage garnishment laws in each of the 50 states.
