Tenant Broke the garage door but claims that it's rust..

[Liam Martin Ruane]

So I have a quick question that may be obvious. I have a tenant that has broken the garage automatic door presumably from backing into it, but she is claiming that it is because of rust and has requested that I fix it. I will of course fix the door, but I'm thinking this should be deducted from the security deposit.

Is this something that I communicate with the itemized deductions at move out, or should I communicate it now?
