How do you handle a broken kitchen counter tile from renter?

[Gary Wiegand]

Our renter broke a 12x12 kitchen counter tile that is discontinued and cannot be matched. How do you fix this problem? It will definitely be a problem to sell the house someday. Are they required to help pay for a new counter top?

Get a grinder, grind out the grout on all 4 sides of the tile that's 3 spaces down. Take a beeswax tool and carefully pry it up without breaking it. Once you get the tile out, take it and smash it over the tenants noggin, and tell them to quit breaking your crap!! Then replace countertop with whatever you see fit. best of luck.
