Is that for ANY type of debt?

I knew that already but the way I'm reading Mkfarnam's statement is that once an apartment managing company turns it over to collections they have relinquished thier right to pursue collection in the courts. That is what I'm asking.

As far as I know once sold to a junk debt collector, they have no claim.
However, the junk debt collector can take you to court.

That's right. A business or LL don't just turn it over, they sell it to a collection agency for a small % of the amount due and the collection agency tries to collect as much as possible.
Once it's sold, it's out of their hands.

That's how it works.
