I think that you can make a police report for vandalism, but whether they will charge him depends on the police. It will be your word against his.

From my experience, if you know he cannot pay and the amount is less than 10k, accept the loss. Take it as bad experience. Put a curse on him.

The time to be picky is when you get the tenant.

I had spent 6k ( case was about 5 years ago) on a lawyer and the house was sealed, his stuff was to be auctioned. I had to pay two guards so that he won't remove his things. But he slipped out in A LORRY according to my neighbour.
The security company gave all kinds of excuses. I am very sure he was in cahoots with the tenant. The 'biznez man' tenant had such cra*** stuff, I would be lucky to get 1000k.
I have had good tenants and annoying ones but not a shyster like him - claimed to be Datuk. Better to keep my house empty until I am sure of the tenant.
