Window damage

[Carrie Westover]

After a visit to my rental property, I discovered 2 windows were broken. 

The tenant will be staying for at least another 2 1/2 months. I was originally going to use his deposit to pay for fixing the windows but is it smarter to have him front the money now and hold on to the deposit for anything else that may be damaged when he moves out?

Also, I won't be simply replacing the glass, I am going to replace the entire window since they happened to be the only 2 old aluminum windows in the house. Is it ethical to charge the tenant for the whole replacement? or should I pay the difference between what it would have cost to fix glass vs. replace window?

Thanks for your thoughts, experience!
