Would landlords be able to affect your credit without going through the courts?

That is exactly what I did when I moved a couple years ago. I was living in a unit that I kept in reasonable shape. I moved out, cleaned the place, yet they sent me a bill not only stating that I would not receive my damage deposit back, but that I would be billed an additional $1000 for extra cleaning (my favorite was an extra $500 to take out the garbage, ie dirt that got left on the carpet during the move). I was blown away considering I kept the place in good shape. I called their office, told them it was freaking ridiculous, and come after me if they wanted to.
A couple days later I got letter from them saying that I owed them nothing.
