collection agency for tenant who didnt pay rent and broke lease..

Duncan Sanchez
Posted

I have a tenant (now ex-tenant) who didnt pay rent and broke his lease. My lawyers suggest i contact a collection agency.

does anyone have a collection agency they can recommend? my main goal is to have it show up on his credit as i know we probably wont get much in collections....

or does anyone have recommendations of how i can report the credit agencies about his non-payment and breaking the lease..

thanks

@Duncan Sanchez If your main goal is to get it reported on his credit report, you can go through a service like Rent Recovery Service or AOA Debt Reporting Service. These types of services are inexpensive, don’t require a judgment, report to all three credit bureaus, and you’ll be warning other landlords about problem tenants like this one (at least the landlords who bother to run credit checks). Not much down side to doing it.
