Answer:
If you did not demand a substantial security deposit at the start of the tenancy, I fear you will lose out. You can call in at your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and ask for advice, or equally see a Solicitor. I honestly think you will be told: 'That is one of the problems of being a landlord'. How about insurance?. How about Small Claims Court if the person has any money?
Not too sure what rights you have regardless of what she signed. Just get her out asap,just make sure you keep hold of her deposit!!

All the best!!
Take her to court... she will have to pay for the damages..
Just keep the deposit - if it doesn't cover the damage go to the CAB (Citizens Advice Beuro) and ask what steps to take to bring her up in court.

Also a solicitor could do this but it may cost you.

She will recieve a summons and be made to pay damages and your court costs..
Well your entitled to keep any deposit she gave you, it will help cover damages. Take her to court after she has vacated your property with pictures of damages, estimates, etc. It's a shame people show no respect for another's property.
do the right thing by the landlord tenacy act, then you have grounds to stand on, good kuck.
Perhaps it would be prudent to bribe a corrupt police officer on the drug squad to plant a quantity of narcotics on the premises, then notify the appropriate authorities. Alternatively you could get the neighbours to get together and say she is running a knocking shop from your house by littering the garden with used condoms. Cheer up the possibilities are endless.
When you take a deposit make sure it is for DAMAGES, not for damage only. Damages covers loss of rent as well. Only a minor matter but very important if it goes to court.

If things get really bad, and the tenant is working, you can ask the court to approach her employer to deduct money at source. This is why it is important to obtain a comprehensive insight into the tenant's background. Last tenancy, place of work, etc.
lol thats a dificult question however i dont think you will find the answer on Yahoo ask your self before others good luck
