Deana - I am so sorry. I know how you feel. We use to own apartments and then also rented our house when we moved. Never again. What a hassel. I had one teannant (a girl) fell face down in my front ditch, drunk. I had a guy screaming for his firend at 3AM, since they had broken up and he was drunk and upset. One teannant ended up in jail and I had to package up all his belongings till he got out, but at least I found my bathing suit in his apartment while packing. Yep! It was strung up across the hallway on a line. Ugh! An then had one teanant leave owing us a ton of rent (our home we rented when we moved) and emptied all their saved up garbage (food trash too) all over the inside of my house. I was so disgusted and wanted to throw up while cleaning up all that trash!
My brother had his first wife - took all the copper plumming out of their apartment when she left. That also included all lighting, a/c unit, everything that was not cemented in. It cost him a lot to repalce it. I am sure that is what you will be looking out. You could take them to small claims, but no guarantee you will actually see any of the money. A show sounds nice right about now - just get away and try to relax.
Also - your baby is a doll!
