Rental home broken into: Steps to take

Kris A.

Hi there! I'm a new BP user and just had my first property damage. Someone broke into my rental property in Phila, broke a window and damaged the front door. Nothing stolen as far as I can see. My Home insurance deductible likely won't even cover the damages so it's probably out of pocket expense. I made a claim anyway. My tenant made a police report. I can either wait for the insurance claim or fix it all ASAP using people I know. Is there anything I should have done differently or do differently in this situation? Did I take the right steps? Will my insurance rate go up now that I made a claim?
