Landlords, apartment managers, and leasing offices across Sarasota County—from downtown Sarasota to Siesta Key and Venice—face real headaches when tenants skip out and leave rent unpaid. Advanced Collection Bureau is here to help you recover that lost income quickly, fairly, and without you having to chase people down.
Trying to collect unpaid rent in Sarasota County can feel like driving over the John Ringling Causeway during rush hour—beautiful views, but traffic backed up and everyone losing patience. ACB specializes in rental debt recovery for local property owners, apartment communities, and landlords in neighborhoods from Lakewood Ranch to Longboat Key. We know lease enforcement, move‑out accounting, skip tracing, and credit reporting, and we don’t charge you unless we bring in what you’re owed.
We’re a licensed Florida collection agency, so we know state laws and county regulations inside out. Sarasota’s rental market is shaped by its beautiful beaches, seasonal visitors, and high demand for short‑term and long‑term housing alike. That mix means higher turnover and more risk of unpaid rent slipping through gaps. Think about the parking at St. Armands Circle during high season—finding a spot is a hassle unless you have help. ACB gives you that help for your tenant collections.
Our tools set us apart: we locate tenants who’ve moved without notice, report delinquent accounts to the credit bureaus regularly, and we work on contingency so you pay nothing upfront. A local property manager near Siesta Key had several tenants move out early, leaving behind unpaid rent and damages. Within six weeks of working with ACB, more than half the total balance was recovered and the rest on track under payment arrangements.
Trying to handle rent recovery yourself is like waiting for the Legacy Trail to reconnect across a construction gap—it stretches out, costs you time, and drains resources. Let ACB do the reconnecting so you get your money back without the wait.

"Matt at Advanced Collection Bureau assisted me with settling my debt with a poorly managed apartment complex.
After speaking to him for a few minutes he was able to send me the bill that the apartment complex never did."
"What a pleasant phone call I had with Jim! He was friendly, shared with me new laws regarding medical bills and my credit, as well as taking my bill down.
I paid it off today and on 2/1, it will disappear from my credit report. Woot! Thank you Mr. Richards!"
"Sam was very friendly, had a great sense of humor and actually made the phone call very pleasant.
Forgot I was even paying a collection bill and felt like I was talking to a long time friend. Got to pay off the debt and got an email verification. Hope to never speak to you again Sam!"
