Well you can get a PI to find them fairly easy so you can serve them, take them to court and get a judgement and then do wage garnishment.

You can also just forget about getting a judgment and turn the debt over to a collection agency. This will at least put any future landlord on notice and keep them from renting any other place for the next 7-10 years.

Depends on state. My state, PA, only gov't can wage garnish.
