But, unless they've been clear they're going to fight it all, I'd focus on the fastest path to getting them gone rather than trying to get all rent due.You've got bigger fish to fry with what sounds like a rehab project starting soon.

You'll have to increase the worth of your "dog in the fight," as it were.

The smallest amount I have gone to court for was about $100 plus my expenses.Other landlords would bribe or pay extortion money to a tenant rather than take up a fight to evict and attempt to collect regardless of the amount. 

The barrier is not technological capability - there are 10s of thousands such buildings in Europe {search on Passivhaus} - but lack of will (economic and political).Equally important, and potentially more difficult problem to solve, is retrofitting of existing building stock to achieve significant energy use reductions in a cost effective manner.  

I forget what exactly the problem was but people were bringing up issues they've had with roommates fighting and not getting along (which isn't your problem so much.. but still is annoying).But good luck!
