    .... I don't think she would be found liable for not babysitting adults in the property. She's not responsible for the other person's actions. Also she's a single mother renting, do you think she has a 5 figure sum stashed away somewhere? probably not. This means that even if she was found liable, she probably can't pay you anyway.
    She will be liable for the cost of all/any damages - but, as you say, she won't have any money to pay for them probably.

    Any tenant in a property is responsible for the actions of anybody they let into their property, or anybody who lets themselves in due to them leaving it insecure etc, such as having/leaving a party and leaving people on the premises.

    It'd only not be her fault if she'd been randomly broken into and a place trashed.

    As it is, she threw a party - left all sorts of dodgy characters whooping it up in there and waltzed off into the sunset leaving them to it. That's "responsible for...." covered.

    Her fault ... her party ... her guests ... her choices .... her debt.

    But, with this sort of chaotic and f3ck1ess lifestyle she won't have two halfpennies to rub together as it's all wasted on pointless partying and other such nonsense.
