Tenant broke hanging light pendant before move out

Albert Johnson
Posted

One of my tenants is moving out. The tenant stated they broke one of the hanging glass light pendants. It's a total of three. 

The tenant is stating they can't find the exact same one and can replace all 3 for $40.

what would you do in this situation?

I was planning to find something close and send it to them. (It's more expensive) Or just ask them to get something close to they style and send me a picture before replacing.

@Albert Johnson you shouldn't have the Tenant do that. Instead, you need to just charge them for the parts, aquisition and labor and hire a vendor to do it or do it yourself if you are self managing. I don't think you understand the liability implications of what you are doing.
