     I would also look into insurance you have first as vandalism. Suing a tenant in many instances is waste as they have no money. Sidenote make sure to file a police report too.

    Make sure this is a smart business decision and not fueled by your personal feeling of what's "fair". 

    If a tenant did damages we add it to the deposit reconciliation, use that as justification to keep the deposit and then if there are additional charges not covered by the deposit we send them to collections and move on with our life. 

    Lawyers and lawsuits are expensive, time-consuming and emotionally draining.
