At the end of the day, I couldn't come to a conclusion. On one hand, I totally think the a$$hole tenant needs to be held accountable. On the other hand, that lady tenant had to be absolutely batshxt crazy, and she knows where the landlord lives, and where the rental building is. Would I be fearful enough of the retaliation if I went on to sue her a$$?
I am just glad that I am done with the landlord bs now.

The issue is how hard it is to sue tenants like that. You have to go through small claim courts and that will take a while. Not to mention your tenant might not even show up/don't have a shit about. Let's say you win even then it doesn't mean you will get your money back. The tenant simply can chose not to pay and then you have to go through the court again to force him to pay (IE the gov will withhold his tax refund/take a part of his wage and give it to you) and that process can still take a long long time. So in the end is it worth all that time and energy? That's why landlord ask for so many personal info to make sure you aren't that asshole tenant who won't pay and who will destroy your unit.
