What recourse do landlords have against their letting agent if tenants leave with rent arrears?

Two months ago the tenant gave notice. I asked the agency to make sure she paid up before vacating. No payment was made, and the tenant left owing 3 months rent. The security deposit is likely to be mainly used on cleaning and damage, and would not cover the arrears anyway.

My question is what recourse, if any, do I have against the managing agents if they fail to recover the arrears?
