cleaning crew broke my tenant's personal property

[Kelly L.]

Hi everyone,

I am getting ready to sell my rental property. Yesterday was listing day. So I got 2 contractors and the cleaning crew to fix up the place. My tenant told me this morning that two items were broken: a foot scrub, and an "All Star Teacher"award given to her by her students.

I am not sure what to do here. I think it was the cleaning that most likely broken the items, because I don't think the contractors were supposed to go anywhere near those two items for the job.

Please let me know what you guys would do in this case. Should I offer to just pay her something? Fix those items for her?

Thanks,

Kelly

You should fix or replace the items. I am sure you hire someone who was licensed or insured if not they could sue you.
