After paying the state, the tenant could sue the landlord for it and put a lien on the property.

    Or, alternstively the tenant may be able to withhold rent until the debt is paid.

    Just take the money out of the rent. If the amount owed is $1000 and their rent is $1400, just pay $400 rent and call it square.

    The landlord may try to kick up a fuss but at least you can say you "paid" your rent.
