You are not forced to do anything except pay the vacant home tax. If you can't afford to pay the vacant home tax, you have the option to sell the house, the option to let a relative or friend stay in it for free, or rent it out. You certainly are going to get nowhere trying to sue the government saying they "forced" you to rent it out and then are somehow responsible for the damage done by a tenant that they had no input into vetting...
I don't even understand why even ask the question unless intending to just be inflammatory, there is obviously no scenario where the government is going to compensate you for a bad tenant...
