Yes, the co-signer is responsible.
No. Damage done by a tenant is specifically excluded on a dwelling policy. Tenants are considered insureds under the policy and damage done by an insured is not covered.
Any damages caused to a building which is under lease and which are directly caused by the tenant are normally deducted from the bond if necessary. Otherwise, the tenant is responsible for paying for the repairs, but it is the landlord/homeowner who must get the repairs done (they then pass the bill on).
It doesn't matter if the tenant himself did it or his pet: the tenant is responsible for replacing those blinds.
Yes, a landlord can sue an evicted tenant for property damage if the tenant has caused damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear.

In most states a landlord can only charge to repaint a unit if the painting must be done to repair damage caused by the renter. A landlord is responsible for maintaining to property but not responsible for damage caused by the tenant.
A lender can't garnish wages; that has to be done by court order. That can be accomplished, but usually only after the lender has made the cosigner responsible for the debt and failed to collect. After all, that's the responsibility of being the cosigner -- to provide payment should the primary borrower fail to pay.
I'm not going to answer for a specific state, because each state law is different. But generally speaking, when the tenant has moved his items from the dwelling, he should do a walk-through with the landlord to ascertain that no damage has been done or that any damages are noted. If the tenant does not do this he risks the possibility that the landlord will keep his security deposit by coming up with "damages" that may not have occurred. The landlord is not required to have any such proof if such walk-through was not done.
Earthquakes are responsible for billions of dollars in damages each year.
You are. YOu are responsible for a unit until you have completely moved out and turned in the keys. At that point, you are no longer responsible for any damages as you are officially not living there and therefore, no longer responsible. But up until that point, you are responsible as you are still officially a tenant, which would include the eviction process.
If a matter is disputed it's up to the judge to decide which story seems more credible.
The one in POSSESSION is responsible.
Generally yes
