Can a rental burglary be the cause of tenant negligence?

[Wilson Davis]

Hello,

A tenant 'forgot' to pay the power bill for over a month, let the grass get over two feet tall, and left the house vacant for over a month.  They called me from another state telling me that the neighbor noticed the back door was kicked in.  Is there any way to prove that negligence of the tenant was the cause of a break-in?
