Tenant Broke the Fence with her Car

[Nitanth Vangala]

Hey everyone,

One of my tenants drove her car through the wood fence of our rental house and it requires work. What have people done in this situation? Here are the possibilities I could come up with:

1. Just pay to get it fixed on owner expense

2. Try to see if the tenant can get it paid for through her car insurance

3. Take cost out of the deposit

Im leaning towards number 1 purely for the hassle part of it. Im open to other suggestions or possibilities that people may have. Thanks in advance!
