Yes I believe that a wage assignent/wage garnishment are one in the same! Have you ever seen this done before as I have a good canidate tenant with 10yrs on job and so, so credit.
Just wanted to cover my losses if any.

I know that in Florida you NEED to have this if you ever have to obtain a judgment against a nonpaying tenant. Florida has this strange law that says you cannot garnish a person's wages unless they have agreed to it in writing. I realized the way to get someone to agree to it in writing is by putting it in the lease. After I learned this, I added this to my leases and the next tenant signed without even questioning this. It says something like: "if a judgment is obtained against the Resident in connection with this agreement, Resident agrees to have his/her wages garnished until said judgment has been paid in full".
Wage assignment? I'm not sure what this is. Is this like garnishing wages?
