There really isn't any waiting period...but.
I would give them 30 days to make good on the payment.

They go file in small claims.

I hope you got a complete walk thru condition report when they moved in.

I hope you got pictures of the condition at move in.

I hope you have good documentation and pictures at move out.

You will need all that to convince a judge. Sometimes, even with all the documentation you need...the judge is an a$$ and you end up with an appeal.

Never accept anyone who cannot pay the full SD. When you find someone who cannot afford it..you are dealing with someone who is a below par tenant. Expect damage and deadbeat behavior.
