If they have jobs you should try and get your money back. Can you take them to small claims court individually? At least this wouldn't cost you too much money and you would have the satisfaction of a judgement against them.
This is totally unfair and is not the case in the UK where Landlords can use the Small Claims Court to claim up to £10,000 in rent arrears.You can't use the small claims court to recover a debt of this kind.
I didn't get all the rent back, but I got some rent plus the court costs and bailiff costs, which is better than nothing at all.
I feel if you don't pursue tenants who leave your property with arrears, they feel as though they have gotten away with it and will do the same to the next Landlord.

Oztastic.
There are threads on the ineffectiveness of any real enforcement on thieving tenants.
The PRTB will probably gain acknowledgment that you have been done (you know that) and then all stops.
Debt Collection agencies ,don,t generally do (singular) calls and no-foal,no-fee collectors are normally not great.
4,800 is a lot of money, maybe have a short word with local solicitor and depending how (annoyed) you are, take his advice on things like judgments etc
At least for a small consultation fee you can get closure.
It boils down to pragmatism v you don,t like being done.
The PRTB have been good
