      Just take the money out of the rent. If the amount owed is $1000 and their rent is $1400, just pay $400 rent and call it square.

      The landlord may try to kick up a fuss but at least you can say you “paid” your rent.

          Then pay $400 a month for 10 months? Pretty simple math. A lot easier than trying to take them to court and paying a bunch of lawyer fees.
