After you obtain the judgment you will have to collect.  Does he have the $ to pay you?

You could file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court against your ex-roommate for breach of the agreement to pay the amount he owes you.  The amount of your claim should include $1825 plus interest accruing since the date the amount was due and court costs.  Court costs include the court filing fee and service of process.
