Garage Door Replacement

[Amanda Sartor]

Hello all,

I am looking for a little advice.  Our tenant put in a maintenance request with our property management company to fix the garage door.  My husband and I were surprised when the estimate came back at about $700.  The estimate is for full replacement of the door.  We asked for a second estimate and this one came in at $500 but this time we were able to talk to the technician and they explained that the two lower panels needed replacement.  We asked if this is from normal wear and tear or if someone damaged it.  The said it was probably driven in to.  

Should we be responsible for the replacement door?  Is it worth asking the tenant to pay for part of the replacement?

Any advice would be helpful.  Thanks in advance!
