If the amount exceeds the small claims court limits, then it's probably financially worth it to just pursue it in a small claims court action, avoid the attorney's fees and avoid the costs of a superior court action. Does that tenant have any assets and are they even worth going after or spending a bunch of money to go after in a collection lawsuit?
