Renter buys his own property, then fails to pay last month advice

Hey all,

I have long time renters who except for a few months during the initial covid shut down here in Oregon; paid on time.  They purchased their first home back in August and moved out in September.  Their lease was through September. They failed to pay their September rent and after final move out accounting they owe roughly $2500.  

My property manager has called the former renters, but they have since "ghosted" him and are not returning his calls.

I have the former renter's new home address, phone number and email address.  I would like to reach out to him and discuss a payment plan, but I'm not sure if I can do this legally.  I'm not sure if this would be deemed harassment.

Can someone offer up their own experience with this type of scenario and what think I might do?  Should I show up on their new door step?  email them? or do you think I should just let my property manager handle it?  If the PM handle's it; they're going to send them to collections and IF they pay; I'll only get half of the $2500 and the PM will take their 8%.

Thank you for listening and offering your advise,

RJ
