If you co-signed on a apartment lease - the tenant did not stay through the lease - would you have a case to get the money back?

Yes. This would be a case for Small Claims. The filing of a lawsuit in SCC is reasonably simple. Small Claims Court is for monetary restitution only. Each state has limitations on the amount that can be awarded.
