Kat, you have to step back and ask yourself how you let such deplorable people rent your property in the first place. Did you perform extensive screening on them including speaking with prior actual verified landlords, a credit check on both adults, criminal background checks, employment and wage verifications, visting their prior residence and more? Ask yourself why you waited 60 days to begin eviction? You should have issued a 3 day pay or quit as soon as the rent was late the first month. You can't legally use their deposit for back rent until they have vacated and you do a final accounting. Did you perform periodic inspections on the property, inside and out, to see how they were taking care of the place?

Your next step is suing them in small claims court for all the damages.

I see you have never been a landlord. People who rent do not have good references or a good credit rating. If they had good references or a good credit rating they would buy a home.
