What can I do if my landlord hasn't paid the court-ordered penalty?

Good morning,

I won a court case against my previous landlord, but he has not paid the penalty even after we created an execution file. What should I do now?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Good morning,

If a landlord fails to pay the penalty ordered by the court, the tenant can file a complaint with the execution court.

The Execution Court will then take necessary measures to enforce the court's decision, such as seizing the landlord's assets or bank accounts.

If the landlord still refuses to pay, the tenant can also file a complaint with the public prosecutor, who will investigate the matter and take appropriate legal action against the landlord.

It is important to note that the process of enforcing a court decision can take some time, and it is advisable to seek the assistance of a lawyer to ensure that all legal procedures are followed correctly.

Dear Questioner,

An execution file is created to enforce the court's ruling. It typically involves a legal request to the court to enforce payment, and it is the next step after a judgment has been rendered in your favor.

Since the landlord has not paid the penalty, you need to request the Court of Execution to take action. This might include steps like freezing assets, garnishing wages, or seizing property to recover the amount owed.

You will likely need to submit a formal application for enforcement along with the court's judgment and the details of the landlord’s non-compliance.

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Unfortunately, your landlord hasn't paid the penalty despite the execution file. Contact the court that issued the judgment and request a hearing to enforce it.

Bring all relevant documents, including the court order, execution file, and correspondence. Request the court to take further action, like issuing a warrant of arrest or attaching assets.

We will discuss the procedures in detail.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss this further.

You must follow up on the execution file procedures and submit a request for the seizure of properties and funds in banks, as well as an order for arrest and detention.

Dear questioner,

We need to take additional measures through the Execution Court, including freezing the account, blocking the apartment from being rented, and imposing a travel ban on the landlord.
