KARMA BUS rolling in over here too

All aboard the karma bus.
I just heard from SYB and the old landlord at his crazy sister and violent drunk bf/fiance's house ( yes, I needed to be that wordy) has called him and is filing suit against them for the damages to his garage amongst other things because they havent responded to any of his calls about it so far since they left a few months ago. Remember that SYB had lived there also but only for a few months before he moved in with me so as sweet as he is he identified the rooms where he stayed and asked if there was any damage in those rooms that he should cover for the guy and said he was perfectly willing to discuss it. I love my bf, he is a decent stand up guy. The landlord said he didnt want his money and that his room was the only room that was kept up and painted well ( we did that together, taking down all the paper and painting it as a project about a year and a half ago)and that the other rooms were done poorly and needed to be repainted and floors were ruined by the dog. Those goons painted OVER the paper and even used flat paint in a bathroom so it is peeling off the ceiling. For those of you who dont remember, the garage door was smashed into by the crazy sister ( no drivers license btw) whow as driving her drunk bf who has 2 DUIS already home. She ran right into the garage since she was not sober either. Brand new jeep too. the two of them are idiots together and just figure they can forget about everyone but themselves. After what they said about my DS I have written them off completely but of course SYB's older sister J has tried to contact them a few times only to be shot down. She still has B on her phone plan for cell phone and hasnt seen a dime from her since April. She is trying to be supportive and nice and gets one word texts and curt emails instead of anyone meeting her halfway. The situation is about to get worse though because SYB has been asked to sign a statement so that they can get a summons and he is going to do it. There seemed no question in his mind about it except for whether or not he should name her as the driver since he wasnt there and only knows that through the other person who was with them. I think they should sign a statement either along with him or instead of him and I really dont think he should protect her. But I think he is inclined to just say that all he knows for sure is that the car did that damage to the garage because he saw the car the day after in front of the garage and they admitted they ran into it, not stating who was driving. Then the rest he might leave alone. That would be bad for the bf since he already has DUIs. I just told him that if he chooses that route I will stand behind him of course but hope that he knows he is protecting her and is at peace with the fact that even though he is it will go unrecognized and things are probably going to worsen instead of get better.
So we shall see.....I have to admit I was glad to see the karma bus roll in for those two. They were so violent and sick with SYB me and with my boy. I had nightmares for weeks abotu that night on and off.....

As a Texas landlord, all I have to go by (the only one I can hold responsible) is the name(s) on the lease.

SYB was not on the lease. He just rented from the crazy bf. There was only his name on the lease so he is responsible. I think the landlord is just royally pissed at this point since he is dealing with lots of damage and not one response about it. They literally left the garage door smashed and never even told him about it - that was a surprise for him to find.
I know SYB would have no problem paying for any damage he thought he caused which is why he offered. He is very ethical this way and genuinely wants to do what is right but the landlord's response was "I dont want any money from you" Syb was the only one who ever took any care for that house and he knows it.
I have a feeling there will be backlash for him making a statement but he feels strongly about it so I will just support him whatever he decides to do. I think he and his older sister are still talking through it. I have taken a back seat and will give back rubs as needed while he does what he feels he should.
