Can an apartment complex garnish your wages or sue a person for breaking a lease?

A lease is a legal contract. If you signed it then you agreed to be bound by its terms. If you don't live up to ALL the terms of the lease, the complex can sue you in court to recover past due rent, losses and damages. Depending on state laws they can also sue for rent under the terms of the lease either for the duration or until they have been able to sign up a new tenant.
If they prevail in court, the court will set the amount due and the plaintiff can request a judgment lien that can be used to garnish your wages in some states and under certain conditions, seize your property and any bank accounts in order to satisfy the lien. The law varies in different jurisdictions. If you still have questions you should contact your local landlord-tenant agency for the rules in your jurisdiction.

Can a tenant ask for a list of repairs that need to be done to the apartment when they will be gone so they know when maintenance will be in the apartment while they are away?
It would be better if the tenant determine what repairs needed to be done, then left that with the landlord. If you are going away and you know there is repair work to be done on your apartment, there's really no telling when a maintenance person will arrive to perform such work, especially if you are away. In a few certain cases your maintenance person may be allowed to enter your apartment without you being there.

When an apartment complex performs a credit check, they are not looking for those people who don't pay their credit card bills or their medical bills, or are they paying either; they are looking for those who are not paying their utility bills or for those who have been evicted from a previous rental property.
