Who should pay for leak damage?
So my tenants are moving after paying on time for 6 years .
However, after they came back from a months vacation last week ,
they informed me the roof leaked into the walls and the wall panels are falling down from mold and wetness
This couldn’t have happened in a month .
I will now replace the roof over their room ( an add on room )
And the wall for $ 3,000.
I have a month security deposit for $850 which I’m not sure about returning.
I feel if they had told me sooner it would not be such a costly mess .
Please help me decide on how much to deduct , if anything.
Thank you !!
