How to recoup damage from tenants

Dennis Lau

I had my home as a rental property to one family 5 years. Once their lease was up, i did not renew them and had them move out. The problem is that upon them moving out, they left quite a few damages to the home. I,e all kitchen tile missing, stove missing, various damages around the home. The property management company ended up using all their deposit, but I had to pay an extra 1500 to get the remaining repairs completed. So now, I would like to get that money back. What is the process exactly? The property management company said that since I'm no longer renting my house out through them, they can't act on my behalf, so now I'm on my own. Do I take the tenants to court? If so, how does that work? Is 1500 too little to fight over? Also, I live out of state if that matters
