Her refusal or denial of payment needs to be brought to the courts attention. The court then can put a lien on her property and charge interest or change the amount awarded to you to a much higher one.And the bonus she will most likely be placed under arrest for contempt.

The judge who gave you the judgment should have set the interest rate in the judgment. Read over your documents thoroughly and you might find your answer. Also, your local court may have assistance on collecting a judgment. You could ask the judge for a court order for your landlord to list any valuables or property that they own. Andy you can look up any property that your landlord owns at your local Recorder's office and put a lien on it.

Read the written judgment entered by the court. Typically they set forth the judgment amount and add language substantially like the following: " . . . plus interest and costs." If so the judgment automatically carries interest. If not, maybe not, maybe yes, depending on the laws of your state.
Collecting the judgment, with or without interest is a whole other matter. The means & methods of collection are so varied & the procedures so variable among states that you need to find some local source of information.

You can charge interest on the original debt, yes. But it depends on the size of the debt and what your stats's laws say.
This is a very common problem for litigants. The judges who rule in claims courts don't have the physical ability to make someone pay, so even after getting a judgement you still have to track them down.
You need to back to the courthouse and report that she hasn't followed through. It is then their job to pay her a visit. If that doesn't go fast enough, or she avoids them too, get yourself a lawyer.

Getting a judgment and collecting on it are two different stories. Usually you can collect 10%. Talk with a legal clinic and see what your options are. If she works or has a business you can attach the wages. It will take some time, but go for it.

She's an idiot. With a court judgment, you can put a lien on her property or file for getting a chunk of her paycheck.

Take your claim to a small claims court, and most likely, they will tack on interest.
