How do I handle subletter trashed my apartment?

English isn't my first language so bear with me. I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

subletter trashed my apartment. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

Idk but this happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
