Question

tennant running amuck, landlord needs to be held responsible for there tennants behavior we need sugestions to stop this this tennant.

Answer 1

what you are really talking about is civil law tort, more likely where you want to hold the landlord liable for the actions of a third party IE the tenant

you will need to establish a duty between the landlord and tenant, the landlord is on notice of the activity, and encourages or facilitates the activity

if the tenant actions do not rise to a criminal level it will be hard press to hold landlord liable

Answer 2

Here is a website that has the landlord's responsibility:

There is also a section "When you have Problems" that gives phone numbers to contact the governing entities. Since I don't know where you live, this is as exact as I can get.

Answer 3

Landlords are not responsible for the behavior of their tenants. Is your mortgage company responsible for YOUR behavior ? Tenants are responsible for their OWN behaviors. If they are breaking the law, call the police for intervention.

Answer 4
