No, you cannot attach any of the tenant's personal property for the back rent
without first going through the proper legal procedures required for such attachment.
If the tenants are still occupying the rental property, you must start with a 5 day
pay or quit notice(if not already served) and then proceed with the
filing of the warrant for unlawful detainer in your local general district court.
