]All sorts of concerns and questions popped into my head when I heard the extended version of your story.
As renters, your neighbors will most likely not do anything with the fence or any other structures of "their" property. Why would they care to do that if they are renting? Sort of fits the whole irresponsible renter's philosophy anyways...

They may indeed be so very sorry for what happened. But maybe not all because of what happened with the dogs. You said they are quite into partying all hours of the night. They also dumped their children on you in the middle of the day. And their daughters report multiple ways the dogs have been abused.
SO- In a nutshell, they are neglectful of their children (this is a form of abuse), neglectful and physically abusive of/to their dogs, party a little too hardy (drugs possibly?), have no respect or consideration for others, and so forth. Their being sorry may be more indicative of being concerned about being turned in to authorities!
I'm glad to see that your chicks may be okay after all of that. I sure hope so!
To be fair as someone who has rented her whole life, it is NOT the renter's responsibility to pay for things like fences etc...Unless of course their dog damaged it which they did. It isn't being lazy to refuse to make repairs where they are not yours to make. Trust me I've had my fair share of battles with LAZY/CHEAP landlords who would rather have me using an oven that is about to explode than replace/fix it, or force us to use an oil burner that the previous tenants dumped DIESEL FUEL into...It is not a renter's responsibility to keep a property up to a neighbor's standards, IT IS their responsibility to repair/fix any damage they cause which in this case would be the fence...
Not all renter's are lazy because they aren't willing to shell out money on stuff they are NOT responsible for.
