I am not paying for trips to the property, for unwarranted complaints where damages caused are due to tenant negligence or in this case, no damages or repairs were found by the service repairmen, yet a service call was billed to me.

It was just tenant negligence.

The other member had been working PT but has the potential for FT, and her degree should garner her a healthy income.Applicant A states that their current landlord is negligent and as a result she has short paid rent a few times to cover repairs she paid out of pocket. 

You have not been negligent at all.

Basically, you get a judgement and go after them personally.Renters policies cover negligence and accidental actions by residents.

Laws very by state but in Missouri you can assign responsibility for all claims and damages to the tenant and require the tenant to hold harmless and indemnify you for everything except damage resulting from the sole gross negligence of you as a property manager.  

I am not a lawyer, and you should definitely consult one.In my non legal opinionI would file for eviction do to tenant negligence.

The closets were originally a lighter color than the beige walls, but it's too much hassle for a very negligible gain.  

Through no fault of your own you do look like a potential suspect and the cops would be negligent not to check you out.

And if it's clearly negligent, how do you handle charging the tenant for something that might normally come out of the security deposit at move out?
