Damages from wind - security deposit deduction?

Alex Smith

Hello! 

I just wanted to see what other landlords would do as I’ve never come across this situation before. A recent wind storm ripped open a storm door and shattered the glass in it at one of my rentals. The door wasn’t latched. Is this something I should be paying for? The tenant is actually about to move Jan 1 so I was wondering if I could justify deducting a new door from the security deposit or if there are too many variables at play to do so.... 

Thanks in advance!
