How did you resolve it? Did you just eat the loss?
In the US, the best recourse would probably be to sue or file a police report for destruction of property. Neither of those are great options, but they might end up being arrested depending on the municipality.
- xapata 10y agoFile a police report, then go to small claims court. I think the limit for small claims is $7k, but it might be higher now.

- m-i-l 10y agoThere is a Small Claims Court in England, with a maximum claim of £10K. I got as far as issuing a Letter Before Action to the tenant's London-based guarantor (the tenant himself hadn't left a forwarding address, and his father is based in the Republic of Ireland where the Small Claims Court has a EUR2K limit), but ended up settling out of court and eating most of the loss.
