Invite an expert in to provide estimates of how much it will cost to restore the unit to its original condition. keep copies of the bids for court case. file with the police department there might be criminal mischief charges that could be filed.

I can get basic screening results for combined report of eviction, criminal and credit in less than a day from the online screening company I use.
