Can't prove which tenant damaged building?

[Shane H.]

Hi Everyone!

I have a triplex that has a back parking lot and one of the tenants crashed into a support pillar hard enough to destroy it. I have been trying to find a vehicle with damages but I can't seem to be lucky enough to be there at the same time or it was one of their friends.

I am about 98% certain i know which unit it was, but I can't prove it. The unit i believe it is has had 2 complaints from the other tenants about partying and noise. I wouldn't be completely upset to lose them but if push comes to shove i don't know how i could enforce that they pay for the damages without evidence. Total cost to repair is going to be $600-$1000.

I can't really consider splitting it between all 3 as i'd rather take the loss than alienate two innocent units (even if it was one of the quiet ones that did it id' be alienating the other 2)

How would you recommend handling this?

Thanks!

If you cant prove it, you cant prove it. It might not even be your tenants. It could be some other random person.
