Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

confirming defendant's residence

I am currently pursuing a small claim for a contract where the defendant has made some payments and now refuses to pay the rest. I made a good faith effort to find the location of the defendant to make sure that i had the right court to sue in. However the defendant now states that he did not live in the city where i stated was his last known address during the time of the contract. He refused to tell me his current address during my good faith efforts. The court had a copy of the apartment complex he claims now to live. My question is - can i investigate that by calling the appartment complexm and varifying when he completed the lease and on what date, as well as what he included as his ''last address'' on that lease? So that i can show that he is now lying? Or am I not allowed by law to do so?
