Car damaged by land care service

[Jacob Mulle]

I’m renting a house that has professional lawn care services set up by the landlord. The other day I noticed a large rip in the soft top of my Jeep Wrangler right after the landscapers left. My Jeep is parked in the driveway and they mow and trim right next to the vehicle. I know that somehow they caused the damage but I can’t prove it with video evidence or anything like that. I notified my landlord and they expressed empathy and said they would contact the law care company. It’s been two days and haven’t heard anything back. My question is who is responsible for the damages? I’m frustrated because I offered to take care of the lawn months ago and the landlord refused as the cost was already built into the rent. It doesn't make sense to file a renter insurance claim as I have a high deductible and it wouldn’t cover the $400 to replace the soft top. Am I sh** out of luck or do I have justification in asking for reduced rent next month to cover the cost to replace? Thanks!
