Tenant got hurt and had to get stitches

[Issac Olavarria]

So a brand new tenant hurt himself his first week staying at a rental of mine. He claims he stepped on a deck board outside and it popped up and busted his lip. I inspected the deck and it looks to me some force was needed to brake it like a jump from something high not just stepping on but that’s neither here nor there. I’ve repaired the deck since then and haven’t heard anything from him about the situation until now. He is asking for me to take $400 medical bill cost out of this months rent “not to take advantage of the situation” but because it left him in a bad financial position! My plan is to have him pay full amount as normal and then I will reimburse him the $400 after I see a medical bill.. what do you guys think I need advice!!!
