I own my house but the neighbors rent. Who pays for damages?

I was wondering who would pay for damages if my neighbors or their family destroyed my property? The neighbors rent so does the landlord pay or does the renter pay with renters insurance(considering they even carry it). If they don’t carry renters insurance do we take them to small claims court? I know nothing about home ownership and insurance and I would like some ease of mind.

Can a former landlord sue only ONE person on the lease for back rent? When two people signed the lease?
