How can you report a renter that vacated the rental apartment and owes several months of rent?

Individual people cannot report other people to credit bureaus. To make a negative report on the tenant's credit record, you have two options.1. You can allow a licensed collection company to begin collection of the debt. This is a good idea if you do not live close to the property, or want the tenant's credit to be affected immediately. But expect to pay 1/3-1/2 of any money collected back to the collection company.2. Sue the tenant. Small claims court is a great place to sue if the amount owed does not exceed your state's small claims court jurisdictional limit. If the amount exceeds the jurisdictional limit, you must sue in a higher court.
