Tenant damages in SF

[Jordan Hechinger]

Hey everyone! I’m still relatively new to this landlord thing so thought I’d ask the forums for advice. My tenant recently sent pictures of the bathroom pedestal sink. He apparently tripped and broke the pedestal portion in half (not sure how you break one and not the other). The sink appears to be in decent shape still. So I wasn’t planning on just replacing the pedestal. My property management company said it’s up to me if I pay for the repairs or have the tenant do it. Shouldn’t be too expensive. Haven’t had any issues with him yet and would like him to stay at the end of the contract. What should I do?
