    Default Renter's rights collecting a debt from a landlord

    My landlord owes me a deposit and cleaning refund and continues to give me the run around including continuing to say I haven't paid this or that month's rent up to two years later, even though I prove him wrong through the bank each time, he comes up with a new reason why he shouldn't owe me.

    How can I send him to collections for a bad debt?
