His friends were supposed to clean up and paint the wall, put the blinds back, etc.  

a judge is going to see that. 6th, get a home inspection. hire an inspector with a mold certification. have him do a complete home inspection WITH testing on anything he feels may be mold. then, take that report back into court with you. thats a professional opinion that will hold more weight in court than anything your former tenant can bring to court. plus, if you are serious about selling the house, you just saved your prospective buyer $400 for their home inspection. lastly, counter sue the people for damages to the house. there is no way that the $1000 will cover all the clean up and damages. you would be surprised how quick they drop their suit when they are hit with one themselves. good luck
