Destroyed Floor

[Christopher Zito]

About a year ago I installed new laminate wood floor in the living room of one of my rental units. 2 days ago I got a call from my long term tenant stating that the AC unit (in wall) was leaking and had destroyed the floor because it had expanded. I went over to inspect and repair the AC unit and found out that the entire floor in destroyed and needs to be lifted up and taken away. A new AC unit is also needed...

My question is, does the tenant bear any responsibility for this? This was more that one or 2 days of a leaky ac unit would have caused, and even though it's the AC's fault, I feel I should have been notified earlier about the issue before it ruined the whole floor.

I am now going over today to get the floor out of there and replace the unit.
