Consider yourself lucky to get your unit back.  Forget about the money they owe you for now.  Focus on getting the unit back up and running.  Then examine your screening process so that you try to avoid the same issue in the future.  When you find yourself thinking about the money they owe you just remember some landlords have not been able to evict tenants and are in bad shape. Count your blessings.

I own one in Westwood and it has been a good rental.  Proceed with caution because this one is west of 61.  I hope you trust your boots on the ground to give you a good/trusted review of street in question.  Good luck.

@Kyle Chadwick bandit signs and direct mail did well for me 5 years ago. I think these methods are dead now so I don't use them anymore. I have a team of VA's that do cold calling and texting. In addition to this I also do FB advertising. I like free/clear and vacant list.
