Back in the old days that was a lot of money.
Well, unless that landlord is independently wealthy, I doubt the plaintiff will see much of the money.
Decades ago, my then mother-in-law got a judgement of about $500, against an uninsured motorist who damaged her car, with the judge ordering her to pay $100 a month. Of course, the culprit claimed she had no way to get the money to her, since she had no transportation, no checking account from which to send a check in the mail, etc. So my then mother-in-law had to go to the “hood” and get payment from her in cash. I’ll say this much for her, she had guts.
