- New York
Found this on a website: The usual time limit is ten years at a maximum of 8% interest. N.Y. does not allow most judgments to be renewed. A judgment in New York is valid for twenty years. During that time it can enforced against a judgment debtor's income and assets. A lien of a judgment resulting from the docketing of a judgment with the County Clerk is good for ten years, and can be renewed for another ten years.
My question is...
If I and my girl-friend get a negative Judgement in Landlord/Tenant court and we refuse to pay it. Can we have a garnishment placed on our salaries? The landlord knows where we both work. And, just how long will we have to wait until they can't come and try to get this money anymore?
