Hurricane Milton Situation

[Caleb Sonneman]

I'm a newer investor and own a long-term rental in Cape Coral, FL. There was a water supply line that got damaged during hurricane Milton, resulting in a $600 water bill. My tenants called the City to try and get it adjusted, and they pushed it onto me.

How would you handle the situation? Current lease agreement says tenants will cover utilities. I'd greatly appreciate any advice feedback on how to move forward. Thanks in advance!
