Vacation Rental, PayPal Trouble

[Rocky V.]

Asking this question on behalf of a friend (I do not own any vacation rentals).  He owns a vacation rental in North Texas.  He recently rented to someone who paid using PayPal.  He has always used this method with no trouble.  The tenant used the lake house vacation rental then disputed the charge to PayPal stating that they never authorized the charge.  PayPal quickly refunded their money even though landlord provided text, emails and photos (they actually trashed the place, had a major party and even had police called out - that's another story).   I have never used PayPal for rent payments so could not offer him any suggestions.  Looking for the great minds of BP to help another fellow landlord out and get what is rightfully theirs.  How can Landlord get his money back from PayPal?
