Tenants trashed Rental before they Moved out this past July 1.  What should I detail in filing Claim w/ their Renters Insurance company?  They trashed the floors (carpet & LVP), damaged the washing machine & dishwasher ; trashed the deck stairs risers; poop in yard; trashed one bathroom vanity, left tons of their clothes, fridge & pantry closets full of food, didn't maintain the yard, deck stair risers were damaged.  The lease already stated that $900 would be deducted for deep cleaning carpet (this is what last cleaning cost when previous tenants moved out & we needed to get out pet smell & stains) but these carpets are trashed & need to be replaced. In the 20 months they rented, they never washed the carpet with their dog & cat stains.  Several people helped clean out which took nearly 20+ hours with 3 -5 people.  I'm getting quotes on repair damages that will likely exceed their remaining security deposit.  What will help me in my claim to their renters insurance? Tons of videos & pictures were taken.   I am assuming that landlord insurance won't kick in. Please advise.
