Oh I hate these sorts of threads:eek::rotfl:GM's post aside.
1 Block Insurance Claim or your own landlords insurance you'll have to pay for the excess.
2 Ask the Police for the Crime Reference Number.
And why oh why on earth would you think that her employer or the letting agent would be liable for her getting drunk? :rotfl:
If you are going to pursue the tenant, who caused the damage, then send the letter before action and then make the money claim now.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0 -

As its the other flat's door and the breaking down of the door was done by others she has very limited vicarious liability.
The Police will often reinstate the door in these cases.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

propertyman thank you that's a great help will get invoices arranged for work to be given to the tenant. I am hoping that the cost of repairs will be deducted from, her deposit. I am working overseas at the moment so may be difficult to chase her for the money.
Also need to find about the door after 2 months I would have thought the neighbou's door was replaced.0 -
How can the LL be responsible for the actions of the tenant in this situation?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

The tenant is responsible for their own actions.
The issue is that BTL should be viewed as a business rather than an investment; with an investment, you're unlikely to be required to put further funds into its maintenance, with a business you are.
Unfortunately, OP is liable for the property.
