Tenant left owing over 10k and can't be found

[Evan L.]

My previous tenant left with unpaid rents(6 months) 8k and damages about 9k. I ended up not repairing the damages and sold it for less than it would have been if damages weren't so bad. Now the debt collectors can't find him. The pms never got his social security number even though he said he did.

Im considering suing the tenant if that's possible being that he's missing, but wondering if I should be suing the pm instead for neglect and not getting their SS#.

Does anyone have advice for this? Thanks.
