What will happen if you sue someone on F1 Visa

[Slammedtgs]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois

Hello. I was talking with my landlord last night, and he was telling me how two foreign students breached their contract, just moving out of the apartment mid-lease and moved back to India. He mentioned that this leaves him with ill-will on all foreign students and is unlikely to rent to them again without substantial rental deposit (due to several cases like this). Although filing suit against a non resident is unlike to recover damages, it would allow him to get a judgment (assuming they didn't answer the summons). Would this judgment have any recourse on the two individuals should they decide to come to the US again. IE: Renew their visa, travel, or try to get work approval in the future?

Thank you in advance.

It would not affect their ability to enter the US in the future since this would be a civil judgment and not a criminal conviction that would make them inadmissible.
