More details to this question:
My properties in Ft Lauderdale are managed by a management company. The management company has not paid over my portion (90%) of the rents from 2 tenants for 4 months or provide me with any statements of my accounts. My agreements allow either party to cancel without cause with 15 calendar days notice. After pleading with the company for 3 months I have e-mailed a letter. I live in the UK and originally signed the agreement and PDF back to Eastside Management. The agreement states that arbitration is to be used for disputes and cancellation must happen by certified mail. However, I have been informed that the new management of the company is trying to liquidate it and start a new company. Should I file a small claim? I may need to file 2 as their is an agreement for each property and the combined total is greater than 6,500. Could I file from London? I am an American citizen.

YOu can file a small claims action or an arbitration, the difficulty in your case will be collectability. If company goes belly up may be very difficult to collect the monies you owe without spending that much or more doing do so.
