Question by : What type of motion needs to be filed after the tenants failed to follow court order and pay the back-rent?
The District Court Judgement ordered the tenants to pay
the back-rent within 7 days.
They haven’t done so.
The judgement didn’t clarify the exact amount the tenants are to pay.
I have filed a motion to clarify. Will this do? I plan to bring up how the tenants haven’t paid anything. And also to tell the judge to indicate the exact amount owed by the tenants on the judgement.
Will the judge hear how the tenants haven’t paid anything or will the judge say that its irrelevant to the motion to clarify?

If the judgment ordered them to pay the ‘back rent’, then THAT is the amount specified and no further clarification is necessary.
The next motion should be eviction.
