They certainly can and usually do. They come up with a figure for the damages based on repair costs, labor or anything else it would take to get the property damage repaired to the original state it was when you moved in. If you have a security deposit, it should come out of that, which is what it is there for. If there are any additional amounts still owed, that is what they sue you for. And if they do it right, they usually get it.

You should pay them for the rest of your lease and damages. If you don't your credit will be ruined. Plus if future landlords know you skipped on your lease agreement they won't rent to you. If you don't tell them and they run your credit it will be on your report. It stays on there several years even after you paid it.

Is the landlord or tenant responsible for damage to camper trailer door caused by angry wife?

That would depend on who's angry wife your talking about. If the tenants wife damages your property or your landlords property then the tenants wife is liable for those damages. Due to the extension of common law you can also be held financially liable for actions of your spouse. The landlord would have no control over the tenants wife nor her actions and could not be held liable. If the Landlords wife came over and damaged your property or the landlords property then the Landlord and or the landlord wife would be financially liable.
