thats one heck of a contract she had with her tenant if she can't legally charge him/her for damages... where can I find one?
I understand the $50 dollars, but trying to sell at market price when they got it free of charge is rediculous.
I don't know anything about the legal situation or the tenant situation. I'll just hazard to guess that the tenant simply disappeared without a trace rather than face the consequences of the damage she had done to the place.
