My tenant set fire to the bathroom

[Andrew P.]

Hello everyone, This is the first time anything like this has happened to us. Our management company quoted about 1k in damages. We do have insurance and clauses in the lease the tenant needs to pay for damages. What typical happens now, do you have the tenant slowly pay it off? Do you do an insurance claim or have the renter try to claim it on their insurance? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
