Surely you requested some kind of security deposit or a bond (I think they call it a bond in England not sure though) to cover you in these sort of circumstances?

No I don't think there is one....certainly not one big enough to cover even the waste removal let alone the damage

Josy is talking about a security deposit of usually two months rent in advance, whilst it wouldn't cover your costs it would certainly help! Did you not have one?
