Contact the District attorney for the county where he is in jail. Let them know the situation and that you are the victim. Tally the amount of the damages and ask that they seek the damages to your property from the tenant as he goes to trial or resolves the case.
Stay on top of it. find out if they have a victims advocate, and call them regularly. Show up at his court dates, to assure they seek resitistution for your loss. Find out the name and contact number of the prosecutor and let them know you want to stay informed, and that you are requesting a restitution hearing if the amount of the damages are questioned.
