    Garnish wages for rent
    My father has an apartment house where the renter moved out owing back rent. He is employed and I would like to know how to garnish his wages? Do I have to go through an lawyer or are there forms I can fill out and have noterized then take to the courthouse? We live in the state of Ohio.
