Renters broke front storm door off of door frame

So, I how should I go about having them be responsible for the cost of repair?  Should I fix it myself wit a contractor and bill them?  If I did this I know it would get done but I don't know if they'd pay me back for it.  Or, I could set them up with a contractor who would bill them after he did the work.  They seem to be procrastinators so my fear would be that they wouldn't do it at all.  

Another thing is they broke a bedroom door in the house over a year ago.  I want them to fix that now also.  

Any ideas?

Thanks, Scott

Take it off and not replace it. If the tenant asks why it isn't "fixed" tell them they broke it so you thought they didn't want it anymore.  Let them know that in order to put it back on it will be $X.  They pay you and you fix it.
