Yes, and the tenant can tell the collection agency the charge is disputed, and that could be the last you hear from them. If not, you need to research, follow and educate them on the rules of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, such as filing written notice of dispute, etc.

Is it legal for a debt collection agency to discuss your debt with your landlord?
In general, debt collection agencies are required to follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which prohibits them from discussing your debt with third parties, such as your landlord, without your permission. If a debt collection agency is sharing information about your debt with your landlord without your authorization, they may be violating the law.
If something is disputed and removed from your credit report can a different collection agency re-submit the same account?

How do you remove a paid collection from your credit report if you paid even though disputed and did not agree with it and provided proof to original creditor who still sent you to a collection agency?
Don't let a collection agency push you around. As a consumer you have many rights. The best places for anyone to exercise their rights are in small claims courts. For less than $100 you can bring a collection agency to their knees.

Can you report a tenant who broke lease and owes 2 months lease?
An individual landlord is not able to directly report a tenant to a consumer credit reporting agency such as Experian. If you decide not to obtain a judgment in small claims court, then you can turn the account over to a collection agency, who is able to report the outstanding debt. However, the collection agency will get 30%-50% of amounts they collect. If you do obtain a judgment, it is a public record and reported to the consumer credit bureaus automatically. Actually a landlord can report debt as a collection account for less than $20 per debtor. Check out my blog at www.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com
