Who pays for roof damage?

[John Van Der Merwe]

Hi Everyone

I bought my first rental property in Dec 2020. The roof was replaced completely in Nov 2020. During a snowstorm in Feb 2021 the roof was damaged and the ceiling partially caved in. The seller said he would come by with his roofer and repair the damage. After that my property manager could not get hold of him again.

In the meantime my property manager had the damage repaired. Now they are requesting my assistance in contacting the seller for a reimbursement of the repair costs. Is this a reasonable request? I am not sure what kind of warranties come with a new roof, is this covered?
