HOW DO I GET MONEY THAT IS OWED AFTER A TENANT LEAVES? - There are basically two ways. If you know where the x-tenant is, you will have to sue him in court for either damages, rent, or both. Suing for damages is very difficult since proving who caused them is next to impossible. If you don't know where the tenant is, which is usually the case, then the account can be placed with a collection agency. They will attempt to collect any outstanding balances and usually charge up to 50% of what is collected as their fee.
