Mary, you need to be a better LL and you'll get better tenants. You don't have to wait for permission to enter your own property -- the law allows for notice and entry to make repairs. You should not have cancelled your trip -- if the house burned down while you're gone, your insurance should cover replacement cost and if it doesn't burn, you can take care of the problems after you get back -- 3 days is not a lifetime to wait for even a critical repair.

Get tough with these tenants or they will run you ragged.

I doubt you can win a suit for damages caused because you believed their lies and didn't take the steps allowed by law to determine for yourself the condition of your property.

See an attorney and get these folks out of your property.
