What court should I file in for a rent arrears claim in Israel?

File in the Magistrates Court (*Beit Mishpat HaShalom*) in the judicial district where the property is located. For amounts up to approximately ₪34,900, you can use the simplified small claims track without a lawyer; for larger amounts, the standard civil track applies and it is advisable to retain an Israeli attorney to draft the statement of claim. You can combine the monetary claim for arrears with an application for an eviction order in the same proceeding, which is the most efficient approach.
