Tenants owe me 5K in back rent - What is my recourse?

Hi,

My first time in 5 years of Real Estate Investing that I had to evict someone. So the process is new to me...

The tenant was recently locked out (11.28) and their Petition to Restore was denied.  They owe me over 5K in back rent, late fees, and lawyer fees.

Can any one offer advice on the best way to collect on this debt?  What are my options?

I appreciate the advice!
