criminal liability of a tenant causing damage?

[Gabe G.]

I have seen a state or two that has laws on the book, for a criminal offense, if i a tenant intentionally destroys a landlords property. These would not just be normal "damage" that could be seen as an accident, this would be taking a sledgehammer to a wall or glass etc.

most states including indiana have laws on the book that describe criminal mischief, and basically says any person who intentionally destroys property, can be held criminally liable. But does not state specifically landlord/tenant.

My question, can a tenant be held criminally liable for intentional damage to a rental property?
