If you want to cite the BP verdict so you don't feel guilty, you have our blessing. 

You could track them down and threaten them or wave your arms wildly or plead that the unpaid rent is costing your mother that heart transplant you've been saving up for...but the tenant won't care.My recommendation is that you turn the unit around ASAP, get it rented, and move on.If your tenant caused $1,800 in cleaning and repairing, you may want to raise your screening standards for the next one.
