Is a landlord able to attach your wages without taking you to court?
Full Question:
After a long battle with our landlord my wife and I decided to buy a house. My wife and I had a verbal agreement with him. Our agreement was he took the security deposit for last months rent and we would pay him for the 2 weeks we lived in the apartment. He has changed his mind and now is threatened with reporting to a collection agency and wage attachment. Is he able to wage attach without a judge saying so?
