It may be different in NC, but in FL you may absolutely not take it out of rent. Your best method is a bank levy. When you get your checks back after they cash them they will have bank account info on the back. Use that and the sheriff serves the bank, who if everything is kosher will freeze the account and take the money. In FL the whole thing costs about $350, but you get those expenses back with the money. Also if you hire an attorney - and they successfully do the same thing - the attorney's fees are included as well.
