Tenant Pay for Repair
In my city the police did a recent round up for people who had outstanding warrants. My tenant was among those picked up. I'm unsure of how it was specifically done but, when this person was arrested, it left damage to the lock and the frame of the metal security door to the house. I think I should ask the tenant to have this repaired. Do you agree? Because but for them looking for her at my property the door & frame would've remained in the perfect working condition that it was in upon her arrival 6 months ago. Would you repair it yourself and send the tenant a bill or would you require that the pair be professionally done with a specific number of days?
