Roommate disagreement

I am moving out and my roommate, of course, is accusing me of stealing several items of hers, all of which I do not have, save for a desk that she gifted me and now wants back.
She said that she is having our landlord, her boyfriend, put the desk under "property damages".
There was also an issue concerning a time when a friend of mine drove his truck in our backyard. The landlord said he may have broken the sewage system. That was a week ago and none of us have noticed any damages. However, my landlord regularly drives his truck in the backyard and I am afraid he will try to charge me if it breaks in the future.
I made no security deposit because my landlord never requested one.
I am wondering if my roommate and/or my landlord can make me pay for these things, and if so, how?
 
That's easy.

They can sue you for any monetary damages that they can prove that you caused.

You, of course, can defend yourself in court and see how it plays out.

Avoid roommate arrangements in the future. They invariably go bad.

Great wisdom in this response, OP.

I've sad it before, I'll say it now.

Adults don't do well in roommate arrangements, even marriages fail at the rate of 50% annually.

Heck, adults have great difficulty living in open dormitory and barracks situations.
