You will probably have to commence litigation.
You should be sure your lease has appropriate language
relating to security deposits and damages, and then
you should proceed.
Re: How to collect on renter damage
Collection agencies can sometimes be the best alternative for collecting small amounts. If the amount is large enough to warrant some time and expense, small claims court may be a good option. However, even a judgement from small claims court will not guarenty money in your pocket, espcially if the debtor has none.
