Whoever "controls" the property. If the vandals came into the building from the outside, the landlord would be responsible. If they gained access to the business in which the smaller business was located, then that business would also be responsible.

First the person that vandalized the property. Second, possibly the property owner, unless the owner and the person who left the property agreed, preferably in writing but not necessarily, that the owner of the business is not liable for any damage to the property.

If you are trying to say that you believe there was inadequate security, you have to prove it.
