Re: apartment rental
The customary way to collect for non-payment of rental amounts is to bring a suit in the local District Court. The landlord has a duty to try to re-let the apartment to reduce his own damages. There are also specific statutes dealing with security deposits and they must be carefully observed.
Landlord tenant law is somewhat complex. You may wish to consult with an attorney before taking any enforcement action.
