If you did not demand a substantial security deposit at the start of the tenancy, I fear you will lose out. You can call in at your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and ask for advice, or equally see a Solicitor. I honestly think you will be told: 'That is one of the problems of being a landlord'. How about insurance?. How about Small Claims Court if the person has any money?

When you take a deposit make sure it is for DAMAGES, not for damage only. Damages covers loss of rent as well. Only a minor matter but very important if it goes to court.
If things get really bad, and the tenant is working, you can ask the court to approach her employer to deduct money at source. This is why it is important to obtain a comprehensive insight into the tenant's background. Last tenancy, place of work, etc.

Perhaps it would be prudent to bribe a corrupt police officer on the drug squad to plant a quantity of narcotics on the premises, then notify the appropriate authorities. Alternatively you could get the neighbours to get together and say she is running a knocking shop from your house by littering the garden with used condoms. Cheer up the possibilities are endless.

Just keep the deposit - if it doesn't cover the damage go to the CAB (Citizens Advice Beuro) and ask what steps to take to bring her up in court.
Also a solicitor could do this but it may cost you.
She will recieve a summons and be made to pay damages and your court costs....

Well your entitled to keep any deposit she gave you, it will help cover damages. Take her to court after she has vacated your property with pictures of damages, estimates, etc. It's a shame people show no respect for another's property.
