Any criminal charge for the incident is far fetched. In fact, you are not liable for any civil or criminal action. The onus fell the tenant agency to ensure that its workers did not use the premises in an unsafe manner.

The police can twist the case in any way depending on the their palms are greased on such accidental matters. You try for some way which may help you come out of the crisis, but this is not a legal solution.

I do endorse the advice of P. Venu. You have committed no offence in the given case.
