This is true but the "defendant" will have a unsatisfied judgement so the OP could (if he wants just to get even) hire a collection agency to try and collect the debt. The collection agency would likely report the unpaid debt to credit agency which will kill the renters credit score. While the OP will likely get little cash IF the collection succeeds at least he can get an ounce of satisfaction knowing he ruined the renters credit rating. Just maybe the THREAT of collections will force him to pay. There is a website where for a few bucks you can have a "lawyer letter" sent with the threat of collections.

OR, contact Judge Judy or Peoples Court and you'll both make a few bucks if they take the case.

All depends on what one's time is worth and/or what an ounce of revenge is worth.

Or he can just forget the whole thing and just suck it up.
