Tenant moving but no last month paid

[Robert D.]

hey all, i have a scenario that may be playing out here with me soon. atleast gotta prepare if and when right.

ok i have this tenant for 15 months. is moving out by the end of august. has not paid for august yet stating he is in financial problems.
say he moves out and i still havnt gotten paid,
is court my only recourse? i still have his deposit. any ideas will be appreciated, thx
